An irregular octahedron has eight faces that are equilateral triangles of side length $2$. However, instead of each vertex having four "neighbors" (vertices that share an edge with it) like in a regular octahedron, for this octahedron, two of the vertices have exactly three neighbors, two of the vertices have exactly four neighbors, and two of the vertices have exactly five neighbors. Compute the volume of this octahedron. [i]Proposed by Connor Gordon[/i]

Two points on the distance 1 are given in a plane. It is allowed to draw a line through two marked points, as well as a circle centered in a marked point with radius equal to the distance between some two marked points. By marked points we mean the two initial points and intersection points of two lines, two circles, or a line and a circle constructed so far. Let $C(n)$ be the minimum number of circles needed to construct two points on the distance $n$ if only a compass is used, and let $LC(n)$ be the minimum total number of circles and lines needed to do so if a ruler and a compass are used, where $n$ is a natural number. Prove that the sequence $C(n)/LC(n)$ is not bounded. [i]A. Belov[/i]
