In a triangle $ABC$, let $D$ and $E$ be the feet of the angle bisectors of angles $A$ and $B$, respectively. A rhombus is inscribed into the quadrilateral $AEDB$ (all vertices of the rhombus lie on different sides of $AEDB$). Let $\varphi$ be the non-obtuse angle of the rhombus. Prove that $\varphi \le \max \{ \angle BAC, \angle ABC \}$.

$u$ is a real parameter such that $0<u<1$. For $0\le x \le u$, $f(x)=0$. For $u\le x \le n$, $f(x)=1-\left(\sqrt{ux}+\sqrt{(1-u)(1-x)}\right)^2$. The sequence $\{u_n\}$ is define recursively as follows: $u_1=f(1)$ and $u_n=f(u_{n-1})$ $\forall n\in \mathbb{N}, n\neq 1$. Show that there exists a positive integer $k$ for which $u_k=0$.

A tripod has three legs each of length 5 feet. When the tripod is set up, the angle between any pair of legs is equal to the angle between any other pair, and the top of the tripod is 4 feet from the ground. In setting up the tripod, the lower 1 foot of one leg breaks off. Let $h$ be the height in feet of the top of the tripod from the ground when the broken tripod is set up. Then $h$ can be written in the form $\frac m{\sqrt{n}},$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $\lfloor m+\sqrt{n}\rfloor.$ (The notation $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer that is less than or equal to $x$.)
