(b) For a given triangle $\triangle ABC$, determine all inner points $P$ such that the perimeter of each of the three small triangles equals the length of the adjacent side.
(c) For which inner point does the sum of the areas of the three small triangles attain a minimum?

A finite set $V \in Z^2$ of vectors with integer coordinates is chosen on the plane. Each of them is painted one of the $n$ colors. The color is [i]suitable[/i] for the vector if this vector may be presented as' a linear combination (with integer coefficients) of the vectors from $V$ of this color. It is known,that for any vector from $Z^2$ there exist a suitable color. Find all $n$ such that there must exist a color which is suitable for any vector from $Z^2$ .

After Euclid High School's last basketball game, it was determined that $\frac{1}{4}$ of the team's points were scored by Alexa and $\frac{2}{7}$ were scored by Brittany. Chelsea scored 15 points. None of the other 7 team members scored more than 2 points. What was the total number of points scored by the other 7 team members?
