Hassan has a piece of paper in the shape of a hexagon. The interior angles are all $120^o$, and the side lengths are $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, although not in that order. Initially, the paper is in the shape of an equilateral triangle, then Hassan has cut off three smaller equilateral triangle shapes, one at each corner of the paper. What is the minimum possible side length of the original triangle?
Given right hexagon. Each side is divided onto $1000$ equal segments. All the points of division are connected with the segments, parallel to sides.

Suppose, we have managed to paint all the vertices except one. Prove that the unpainted node is not a hexagon vertex.

A bug is standing at each of the vertices of a regular hexagon $ABCDEF$. At the same time each bug picks one of the vertices of the hexagon, which it is not currently in, and immediately starts moving towards that vertex. Each bug travels in a straight line from the vertex it was in originally to the vertex it picked. All bugs travel at the same speed and are of negligible size. Once a bug arrives at a vertex it picked, it stays there. In how many ways can the bugs move to the vertices so that no two bugs are ever in the same spot at the same time?
