A tetrahedron is called a [i]MEMO-tetrahedron[/i] if all six sidelengths are different positive integers where one of them is $ 2$ and one of them is $ 3$. Let $ l(T)$ be the sum of the sidelengths of the tetrahedron $ T$.
(a) Find all positive integers $ n$ so that there exists a MEMO-Tetrahedron $ T$ with $ l(T)\equal{}n$.
(b) How many pairwise non-congruent MEMO-tetrahedrons $ T$ satisfying $ l(T)\equal{}2007$ exist? Two tetrahedrons are said to be non-congruent if one cannot be obtained from the other by a composition of reflections in planes, translations and rotations. (It is not neccessary to prove that the tetrahedrons are not degenerate, i.e. that they have a positive volume).

All edges of a polyhedron are painted with red or yellow. For an angle of a facet, if the edges determining it are of different colors, then the angle is called [i]excentric[/i]. The[i] excentricity [/i]of a vertex $A$, namely $S_A$, is defined as the number of excentric angles it has. Prove that there exist two vertices $B$ and $C$ such that $S_B + S_C \leq 4$.
