Given a tetrahedron $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ (not necessarily regulart). We shall call a point $N$ in space [i]Serve point[/i], if it's six projection points on the six edges of the tetrahedron lie on one plane. This plane we denote it by $a (N)$ and call the [i]Serve plane[/i] of the point $N$. By $B_{ij}$ denote, respectively, the midpoint of the edges $A_1A_j$, $1\le i <j \le 4$.
