In the tetrahedron $ABCD,$ on the continuation of the edges $AB, AC$ and $AD$, three points were marked for point $A{},$ located from $A{}$ at a distance equal to the semi-perimeter of the triangle $BCD.$ Similarly, we marked three points corresponding to vertices $B, C$ and $D.$ Prove that if there is a sphere touching all the edges of the tetrahedron $ABCD$, then the marked 12 points lie on the same sphere.

Can a tetrahedron scan turn out to be a triangle with sides $3, 4$ and $5$ (a tetrahedron can be cut only along the edges)?
How many (nondegenerate) tetrahedrons can be formed from the vertices of an $n$-dimensional hypercube?
Consider two non-parallel half-planes $\pi,\pi'$ with the common boundary line $p.$ Four different points $A,B,C,D$ are given in the half-plane $\pi.$ Similarly, four points $A',B',C',D'\in\pi'$ are given such that $AA'\parallel BB'\parallel CC'\parallel DD'$. Moreover, none of these points lie on $p$ and the points $A,B,C,D'$ form a tetrahedron. Show that the points $A',B',C',D$ also form a tetrahedron with the same volume as $ABCD'.$
Consider the solid with 4 triangles and 4 regular hexagons as faces, where each triangle borders 3 hexagons, and all the sides are of length 1. Compute the [i]square[/i] of the volume of the solid. Express your result in reduced fraction and concatenate the numerator with the denominator (e.g., if you think that the square is $\frac{1734}{274}$, then you would submit 1734274).
Three equal regular tetrahedrons have the common center. Is it possible that all faces of the polyhedron that forms their intersection are equal?
For each vertex of a solid cube, consider the tetrahedron determined by the vertex and the midpoints of the three edges that meet at that vertex.
