Two skaters, Allie and Billie, are at points $A$ and $B$, respectively, on a flat, frozen lake. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $100$ meters. Allie leaves $A$ and skates at a speed of $8$ meters per second on a straight line that makes a $60^\circ$ angle with $AB$. At the same time Allie leaves $A$, Billie leaves $B$ at a speed of $7$ meters per second and follows the straight path that produces the earliest possible meeting of the two skaters, given their speeds. How many meters does Allie skate before meeting Billie?

Prove that, if $\tan (a/2)$ is rational (or else, if $ a$ is an odd multiple of $\pi$ so that $\tan (a/2)$ is not defined), then $\cos a$ and $\sin a$ are rational.
And, conversely, if $\cos a$ and $\sin a$ are rational, then $\tan (a/2)$ is rational unless $a$ is an odd multiple of $\pi$ so that $\tan (a/2)$ is not defined.

A regular tetrahedron of height $h$ has a tetrahedron of height $xh$ cut off by a plane parallel to the base. When the remaining frustrum is placed on one of its slant faces on a horizontal plane, it is just on the point of falling over. (In other words, when the remaining frustrum is placed on one of its slant faces on a horizontal plane, the projection of the center of gravity G of the frustrum is a point of the minor base of this slant face.)
