In the tetrahedron $ABCD$ the radius of its inscribed sphere is $r$ and the radiuses of the exinscribed spheres (each tangent with a face of the tetrahedron and with the planes of the other faces) are $r_A, r_B, r_C, r_D.$ Prove the inequality $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{r_A^2-r_Ar_B+r_B^2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{r_B^2-r_Br_C+r_C^2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{r_C^2-r_Cr_D+r_D^2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{r_D^2-r_Dr_A+r_A^2}}\leq\frac{2}{r}.$$

There are two [i]allowed operations[/i] on a pair $(a, b)$ of positive integers:
[list=i]
[*]Add $1$ to both $a$ and $b$.
[*]If one of the numbers $a$ or $b$ is a perfect cube, replace it with its cube root.
[/list]
The goal is to make the two numbers equal. Find all initial pairs $(a, b)$ for which this is possible.

Two squares on an $8\times 8$ chessboard are called adjacent if they have a common edge or common corner. Is it possible for a king to begin in some square and visit all squares exactly once in such a way that all moves except the first are made into squares adjacent to an even number of squares already visited?

For every $3$-digit natural number $n$ (leading digit of $n$ is nonzero), we consider the number $n_0$ obtained from $n$ eliminating all possible digits that are zero. For example, if $n = 207$, then $n_0 = 27$. Determine the number of three-digit positive integers $n$, for which $n_0$ is a divisor of $n$ different from $n$.
