Two concentric spheres have radii $r$ and $R,r < R$. We try to select points $A, B$ and $C$ on the surface of the larger sphere such that all sides of the triangle $ABC$ would be tangent to the surface of the smaller sphere. Show that the points can be selected if and only if $R \le 2r$.

Define a function $f:\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0} \to\mathbb{Z}$ with $f\left(0\right)=1$ and \[ f\left(n\right)=512^{\left\lfloor n/10 \right\rfloor}f\left(\left\lfloor n/10 \right\rfloor\right)\]

In a circumference $\Gamma$ a chord $PQ$ is considered such that the segment that joins the midpoint of the smallest arc $PQ$ and the midpoint of the segment $PQ$ measures $1$. Let $\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2$ and $\Gamma_3$ be three tangent circumferences to the chord $PQ$ that are in the same half plane than the center of $\Gamma$ with respect to the line $PQ$. Furthermore, $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_3$ are internally tangent to $\Gamma$ and externally tangent to$ \Gamma_2$, and the centers of $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_3$ are on different halfplanes with respect to the line determined by the centers of $\Gamma$ and $\Gamma_2$.
If the sum of the radii of $\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2$ and $\Gamma_3$ is equal to the radius of $\Gamma$, calculate the radius of $\Gamma_2$.

Joe is given a permutation $p = (a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_{5})$ of $(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)$. A [i]swap[/i] is an ordered pair $(i, j)$ with $1 \le i < j \le 5$, and this allows Joe to swap the positions $i$ and $j$ in the permutation. For example, if Joe starts with the permutation $(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)$, and uses the swaps $(1, 2)$ and $(1, 3)$, the permutation becomes
\[(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) \rightarrow (2, 1, 3, 4, 5) \rightarrow (3, 1, 2, 4, 5). \]Out of all $\tbinom{5}{2} = 10$ swaps, Joe chooses $4$ of them to be in a set of swaps $S$. Joe notices that from $p$ he could reach any permutation of $(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)$ using only the swaps in $S$. How many different sets are possible?

Eight points are equally spaced around a circle of radius $r$. If we draw a circle of radius $1$ centered at each of the eight points, then each of these circles will be tangent to two of the other eight circles that are next to it. IF $r^2=a+b\sqrt{2}$, where $a$ and $b$ are integers, then what is $a+b$?
