Given a triangle $ \,ABC,\,$ let $ \,I\,$ be the center of its inscribed circle. The internal bisectors of the angles $ \,A,B,C\,$ meet the opposite sides in $ \,A^{\prime },B^{\prime },C^{\prime }\,$ respectively. Prove that
\[ \frac {1}{4} < \frac {AI\cdot BI\cdot CI}{AA^{\prime }\cdot BB^{\prime }\cdot CC^{\prime }} \leq \frac {8}{27}.

An infinite sequence $ \,x_{0},x_{1},x_{2},\ldots \,$ of real numbers is said to be [b]bounded[/b] if there is a constant $ \,C\,$ such that $ \, \vert x_{i} \vert \leq C\,$ for every $ \,i\geq 0$. Given any real number $ \,a > 1,\,$ construct a bounded infinite sequence $ x_{0},x_{1},x_{2},\ldots \,$ such that
\[ \vert x_{i} \minus{} x_{j} \vert \vert i \minus{} j \vert^{a}\geq 1
\]
for every pair of distinct nonnegative integers $ i, j$.

Let $ \,n > 6\,$ be an integer and $ \,a_{1},a_{2},\cdots ,a_{k}\,$ be all the natural numbers less than $ n$ and relatively prime to $ n$. If
\[ a_{2} \minus{} a_{1} \equal{} a_{3} \minus{} a_{2} \equal{} \cdots \equal{} a_{k} \minus{} a_{k \minus{} 1} > 0,
\]
prove that $ \,n\,$ must be either a prime number or a power of $ \,2$.

Suppose $ \,G\,$ is a connected graph with $ \,k\,$ edges. Prove that it is possible to label the edges $ 1,2,\ldots ,k\,$ in such a way that at each vertex which belongs to two or more edges, the greatest common divisor of the integers labeling those edges is equal to 1.
[b]Note: Graph-Definition[/b]. A [b]graph[/b] consists of a set of points, called vertices, together with a set of edges joining certain pairs of distinct vertices. Each pair of vertices $ \,u,v\,$ belongs to at most one edge. The graph $ G$ is connected if for each pair of distinct vertices $ \,x,y\,$ there is some sequence of vertices $ \,x \equal{} v_{0},v_{1},v_{2},\cdots ,v_{m} \equal{} y\,$ such that each pair $ \,v_{i},v_{i \plus{} 1}\;(0\leq i < m)\,$ is joined by an edge of $ \,G$.
