735. Find the greatest divisor of the pair of numbers 123456789 and 987654321 (in other words, the greatest common measure of segments of such lengths).
$\triangleright$ In principle, this problem can be solved by brute force (and even in a reasonable time if you have a computer at hand), trying all numbers from 1 to 123456789 (larger numbers clearly do not fit). However, it can also be done without a computer, using the Euclidean algorithm. The number 987654321 can be replaced by $987654321-123456789=864197532$. Subtracting 123456789 again, we get 740740743, then 617283954, 493827165, 370370376, 246913587, 123456798, and finally, $123456798-123456789=9$. (In the end, we divided 987654321 by 123456789 with a remainder and got a remainder of 9.) As we have seen, the common divisors of the original pair and the pair 123456789, 9 are the same, and according to the Euclidean algorithm, we need to subtract 9 from 123456789. The number 123456789 is divisible by 9 (it equals $9 \cdot 13717421$), so when subtracting, we get 9 (and then 0). Answer: the greatest common divisor is $9. \triangleleft$

1. Find the minimum value of the expression $2 x+y$, defined on the set of all pairs $(x, y)$ satisfying the condition $$ 3|x-y|+|2 x-5|=x+1 $$
1.I.1. The following figure shows a set defined by the equation $3|x-y|+|2 x-5|=x+1$. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_21_46613852391e49da1fa9g-028.jpg?height=503&width=537&top_left_y=685&top_left_x=751) Let $C=2 x+y$. The problem requires finding the minimum value of $C$ for all points in the depicted set. Rewriting this relation as $y=C-2 x$, from a geometric perspective, we need to find the smallest $C$ such that the line $y=C-2 x$ intersects the given set. Clearly, the desired value of $C$ is the one for which this line passes through the point $\left(\frac{4}{3} ; \frac{4}{3}\right)$. Thus, $C=\frac{8}{3}+\frac{4}{3}=4$. Answer: 4.

3. Find the minimum value of the expression $$ \sqrt{a^{2}+1}+\sqrt{b^{2}+9}+\sqrt{c^{2}+25} $$ if it is known that $a+b+c=12$.
Solution 1. Introduce vectors $\boldsymbol{m}(a ; 1), \boldsymbol{n}(b ; 3)$ and $\boldsymbol{p}(c ; 5)$ and set $\boldsymbol{q}=\boldsymbol{n}+\boldsymbol{m}+\boldsymbol{p}$. Since $a+b+c=12$, then $\boldsymbol{q}(12 ; 9)$. Since $|\boldsymbol{q}|=|\boldsymbol{n}+\boldsymbol{m}+\boldsymbol{p}| \leqslant|\boldsymbol{n}|+|\boldsymbol{m}|+|\boldsymbol{p}|$, then $$ 15=\sqrt{12^{2}+9^{2}} \leqslant \sqrt{a^{2}+1}+\sqrt{b^{2}+9}+\sqrt{c^{2}+25} $$ Equality is achieved if the vectors $\boldsymbol{m}(a ; 1), \boldsymbol{n}(b ; 3)$ and $\boldsymbol{p}(c ; 5)$ are collinear, $\frac{a}{1}=\frac{b}{3}=\frac{c}{5}$, from which it follows that $b=3 a$ and $c=5 a$. Therefore, $a+3 a+5 a=12$, from which $a=\frac{4}{3}, b=4, c=\frac{20}{3}$. Answer: 15.

Find the minimum value of the function $$ f(x)=4^{x}+4^{-x}-2^{x+1}-2^{1-x}+5 $$ Solution: Since $$ \begin{aligned} 4^{x}+4^{-x}-2^{x+1}-2^{1-x}+5=2^{2 x}+ & 2^{-2 x}-2\left(2^{x}+2^{-x}\right)+5= \\ =2^{2 x}+2 \cdot 2^{x} \cdot 2^{-x}+2^{-2 x} & -2-2\left(2^{x}+2^{-x}\right)+5= \\ & =\left(2^{x}+2^{-x}\right)^{2}-2\left(2^{x}+2^{-x}\right)+3 \end{aligned} $$ then the substitution $t=2^{x}+2^{-x}$ reduces the problem to finding the minimum value of the quadratic polynomial $g(t)=t^{2}-2 t+3$, which is $g(1)=2$. Answer: 2.
1.I.8. Comment. The following error was made in the given solution. Since $2^{x}>0$, the range of the function $y=2^{x}+2^{-x}$ is the interval $[2 ;+\infty)$. Therefore, it is necessary to find the minimum value of the function $g(t)=t^{2}-2 t+3$ on the interval $[2 ;+\infty)$. On this interval, the function $g(t)$ is increasing, so its minimum value is achieved at $t=2$. Answer: 3.

1.II.3. Let $x=30 k+d$, where $k \in \mathbb{Z}$, and $d \in\{0,1, \ldots, 29\}$. Substituting this expression into the given equation, we get $$ 30 k+d=15 k+\left[\frac{d}{2}\right]+10 k+\left[\frac{d}{3}\right]+6 k+\left[\frac{d}{5}\right] $$ or $k=d-\left[\frac{d}{2}\right]-\left[\frac{d}{3}\right]-\left[\frac{d}{5}\right]$. Thus, for each of the thirty values of $d$, there is a unique value of $k$ such that $x=30 k+d$ is a solution to the given equation. Answer: 30 solutions.

5. Point $A_{1}$ lies on side $B C$ of triangle $A B C$, point $B_{1}$ lies on side $A C$. Let $K$ be the intersection point of segments $A A_{1}$ and $B B_{1}$. Find the area of quadrilateral $A_{1} C B_{1} K$, given that the area of triangle $A_{1} B K$ is 5, the area of triangle $A B_{1} K$ is 8, and the area of triangle $A B K$ is 10.
1.II.5. We will use the following consideration. If a line passes through the vertex of a triangle, then the ratio of the areas of the parts into which it divides the triangle is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the segments into which it divides the opposite side, $\frac{S_{1}}{S_{2}}=\frac{m}{n}$. Let's connect vertex $C$ with point $K$ and set $x=S_{B_{1} C K}$ and $y=S_{A_{1} C K}$ (figure). ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_21_46613852391e49da1fa9g-037.jpg?height=417&width=491&top_left_y=1930&top_left_x=771) Then $$ \frac{10}{8}=\frac{B K}{K B_{1}}=\frac{y+5}{x} \text { and } \frac{10}{5}=\frac{A K}{K A_{1}}=\frac{x+8}{y} . $$ Thus, $5 x=4 y+20$ and $2 y=x+8$. Solving the obtained system, we get that $x=12$ and $y=10$, so $x+y=22$. Answer: 22.

2.I.3. Since each of the numbers is greater than 1, their sum is greater than 2008. Let's prove that this sum is less than 2009. By the inequality between the geometric mean and the arithmetic mean, we have $$ \sqrt[n+1]{\frac{n+1}{n}}=\sqrt[n+1]{\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right) \cdot 1^{n}}<\frac{n+1+\frac{1}{n}}{n+1}=1+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}=1+\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+1} $$ ## Therefore $$ \begin{aligned} & \sqrt{2}+\sqrt[3]{\frac{3}{2}}+\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{3}}+\ldots+\sqrt[2009]{\frac{2009}{2008}}< \\ &<2008+1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\ldots+\frac{1}{2008}-\frac{1}{2009}= \\ &=2009-\frac{1}{2009}<2009 \end{aligned} $$ Therefore, the integer part of the given sum is 2008. Remark. The inequality $\sqrt[n+1]{1+\frac{1}{n}}<1+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}$ also follows from an analogue of Bernoulli's inequality for exponents less than 1.

6. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be the smallest subset of the set of integers satisfying the following properties: 1) $0 \in \mathcal{S}, 2)$ if $x \in \mathcal{S}$, then $3 x \in \mathcal{S}$ and $3 x+1 \in \mathcal{S}$. Find the number of non-negative integers in the set $\mathcal{S}$ that do not exceed 2009.
Solution 1. We will write the numbers from the set $\mathcal{S}$ in the ternary numeral system. Then, the transition from number $x$ to number $3x$ means appending 0 to the right of the "ternary representation" of the number $x$, and the transition from $x$ to $3x+1$ means appending 1 to the right. Therefore, a number belongs to the set $S$ if and only if its ternary representation consists only of 0 and 1. It remains to note that $3 \cdot 729>2009>2 \cdot 729=2 \cdot 3^{6}$. From this, it follows that in the ternary representation, the number 2009 is a 7-digit number, with the first (most significant) digit being 2. The largest number obtained on the 7th step has the representation $1111111_{3}$, so it is less than 2009. Therefore, the total number of such numbers is $2^{7}=128$.

4. The radii of the excircles of a certain triangle are 2, 3, and 6 cm. Find the radius of the circle inscribed in this triangle.
3.II.4. First, let's derive the formula for the radius of the excircle. Let $P$ be the center of the circle with radius $r_{3}$, which touches the side $AB$ and the extensions of the sides $CA$ and $CB$ of triangle $ABC$. From the equality $S_{PAB} + S_{ABC} = S_{PAC} + S_{PBC}$, it follows that $$ S_{ABC} = S = \frac{a r_{3}}{2} + \frac{b r_{3}}{2} - \frac{c r_{3}}{2} $$ from which $r_{3} = \frac{2 S}{a + b - c}$. The radii of the other two excircles are found by analogous formulas: $r_{1} = \frac{2 S}{b + c - a}$ and $r_{2} = \frac{2 S}{a + c - b}$. Since the radius of the circle inscribed in the given triangle is found by the formula $r = \frac{2 S}{a + b + c}$, the following relationship holds: $$ \frac{1}{r_{1}} + \frac{1}{r_{2}} + \frac{1}{r_{3}} = \frac{b + c - a}{2 S} + \frac{a + c - b}{2 S} + \frac{a + b - c}{2 S} = \frac{a + b + c}{2 S} = \frac{1}{r} $$ According to the problem, $r_{1} = 2$, $r_{2} = 3$, and $r_{3} = 6$, from which $r = 1$. A triangle with the given radii of the excircles exists; it is a right triangle with legs 3 and 4, known as the "Egyptian" triangle.

4. Let $x$ and $y$ be positive numbers whose sum is 2. Find the maximum value of the expression $x^{2} y^{2}\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)$.
Solution 1. The idea is suggested by the formula for $(x+y)^{4}$. Since $(x+y)^{4}-8 x y\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)=x^{4}-4 x^{3} y+6 x^{2} y^{2}-4 x y^{3}+y^{4}=(x-y)^{4} \geqslant 0$, then $8 x y\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right) \leqslant(x+y)^{4}$. It is clear that $4 x y \leqslant(x+y)^{2}$. Therefore, $$ 32 x^{2} y^{2}\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right) \leqslant(x+y)^{6} $$ Since $x+y=2$, then $x^{2} y^{2}\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right) \leqslant 2$. It is clear that when $x=y=1$ we get equality. Answer: 2.

8. Solve the equation $\frac{3}{\log _{2} x}=4 x-5$. Answer: 2. Solution: The function $y=\log _{2} x$ is increasing, therefore $y=\frac{3}{\log _{2} x}$ is a decreasing function. On the other hand, the function $y=4 x-5$ is increasing, therefore, the given equation has no more than one root. By trial, we find that $x=2$ is a solution to the equation.
5.I.8. Comment. The error in the given solution is that the function $y=\frac{3}{\log _{2} x}$ is decreasing not on its entire domain, but only on each of the intervals $(0 ; 1)$ and $(1 ;+\infty)$. Therefore, this equation has no more than one root in each of them. In addition to $x=2$, the solution to the equation is the number $x=\frac{1}{2}$.

Solution 1. Let $z=\sqrt[3]{7 y+6}$ and transition to the system $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} y^{3}=7 z+6 \\ z^{3}=7 y+6 \end{array}\right. $$ Then $y^{3}-z^{3}=7(z-y)$, from which it follows that $y=z$, since $y^{2}+y z+z^{2}$ cannot be equal to -7. As a result, we get the equation $y^{3}-7 y-6=0$, the roots of which are the numbers $-1, -2, 3$. Since $3^{x}>0$, then $3^{x}=3$, hence $x=1$. Answer: 1.

6.II.1. Let's rewrite the equation as $3^{x^{2}-4}\left(3^{x+2}-1\right)=80$ and set $f(x)=3^{x^{2}-4}\left(3^{x+2}-1\right)$. If $x \leqslant -2$, then $f(x) \leqslant 0$, hence the equation has no solutions on the interval $(-\infty; -2]$. If $-2 < x \leqslant 0$, then $0 < 3^{x+2} - 1 \leqslant 8$ and $3^{x^{2}-4} \leqslant 1$, so $f(x) \leqslant 1$, hence the equation has no solutions on the interval $(-2; 0]$. Now notice that the function $f(x)$ is increasing on the interval $[0; +\infty)$, so the equation has at most one solution. It remains to note that $f(2)=80$, so $x=2$ is a solution to the equation.

6.II.5. Since $n(n+1)$ is an even number, the number $n^{2}+n+11$ is odd, and therefore this number is not divisible by 2. Since $n^{2}+n+11=$ $(n-1)^{2}+1+3n+9$, the number $n^{2}+n+11$ is not divisible by 3, because no perfect square can have a remainder of 2 when divided by 3. Since $n^{2}+n+11=(n-2)^{2}+2+5n+5$, by similar reasoning, this number is not divisible by 5. Further, since $n^{2}+n+11=$ $(n-3)^{2}+2+7n$, this number is not divisible by 7 because no perfect square can have a remainder of 5 when divided by 7. Finally, note that when $n=0$, the number $n^{2}+n+11$ is divisible by 11. Therefore, 11 is the smallest prime divisor among all divisors of numbers of the form $n^{2}+n+11$.

Ways of forming a square are considered different if different sticks are used and not necessarily all of them. Can squares with side lengths of 1 cm, 2 cm, ... 6 cm be formed? Why? Can a square with a side length of 7 cm be formed? How can it be done? In how many different ways can it be formed? Consider all possible cases. Can a square with a side length of 12 cm or more be formed? Why?
1. Solution. One way to form squares is to have side lengths of $7 \mathrm{~cm}, 8 \mathrm{~cm}, 10 \mathrm{~cm}, 11 \mathrm{~cm}$. In five ways, squares can be formed, each with a side length of $9 \mathrm{~cm}$. Thus, there are 9 ways to form the squares. Hint. The side length of the square must be greater than 6 cm (Why?). Since the total length of all the sticks is 45 cm, the perimeter of the square cannot be more than 44 cm, and the side length of the square cannot be more than $11 \mathrm{~cm}$. (MvSh)

4. The incident took place in 1968. A high school graduate returned from a written university entrance exam and told his family that he couldn't solve the following problem: Several identical books and identical albums were bought. The books cost 10 rubles 56 kopecks, and the albums cost 56 kopecks. The number of books bought was 6 more than the number of albums. How many books were bought if the price of a book, which is more than one ruble, exceeds the price of an album? The adults delved into calculations. But the little brother, a fifth-grader, suddenly blurted out: - There's nothing to solve here. 8 books! How did he solve the problem? If solving this problem caused you difficulty, then think it over again and again, delve into the conditions so that they are clearly imprinted in your memory. Look for and seek new approaches to solving the problem. Try to "guess" the answer, find it by making a rough estimate. How many solutions does the problem have? Write down the solution and check your answer.
4. S o l u t i o n. Since the book is more expensive than a ruble, no more than 10 books were bought. Moreover, it is clear that no fewer than 7 books were bought. By checking, we find that the number 1056 is divisible by 8 and not divisible by $7,9,10$. A n s w e r: 8 books.

10. Solution. First method. Let the width of the site be \(x \mu\), then its length will be ( \(60-2 x\) ) \(m\), and the area will be \(y=x(60-2 x)\) square meters. Considering the obtained equation as a quadratic equation in terms of \(x\), we get: \(2 x^{2}-60 x+y=0\). The discriminant of this equation is non-negative, therefore, \(900-2 y \geqslant 0, y \leqslant 450\). The maximum area is 450 square meters; the width of the site is 15 m, and the length is \(30 m\). Second method. We can use the method of completing the square: \[ \begin{aligned} y=2\left(30 x-x^{2}\right)= & 2\left[225-\left(225-30 x+x^{2}\right)\right]=2[225- \\ & \left.-(15-x)^{2}\right] \end{aligned} \] When \(x=15\), we get the maximum value of \(y\), which is 450.

2. Two plane mirrors serve as the faces of a dihedral angle. A light ray, perpendicular to the edge of the angle and parallel to the first mirror, is reflected from the second mirror, then from the first, then again from the second, again from the first, and finally, reflecting for the fifth time from the second mirror, returns along the same straight line. What is the magnitude of the dihedral angle between the mirrors? (Remember, according to the laws of reflection, the incident and reflected rays lie in a plane perpendicular to the mirror plane and form equal angles with the mirror plane.)
2. Since the light ray falls perpendicular to the edge of the dihedral angle, all reflections occur in one plane perpendicular to the edge (Fig. 81). Since after the third reflection the ray returns along the same path, at this reflection it must be directed perpendicular to the mirror plane. The exterior angle of the isosceles triangle $A_{1} A_{2} O$ is $2 \alpha$ ( $\alpha$ is the given angle). Therefore, in the right triangle $A_{2} A_{3} O$, one angle is $\alpha$, the other is $2 \alpha$. Thus, $3 \alpha=90^{\circ} ; \alpha=30^{\circ}$.

Point $P$ divides each of the lines $A A^{\prime}, B B^{\prime}, C C^{\prime}$ into two opposite rays $P A$ and $P A^{\prime}, P B$ and $P B^{\prime}, P C$ and $P C^{\prime}$. The planes of symmetry of the rays $P A$ and $P B, P B$ and $P C$ intersect along the line $l$, through which the plane of symmetry of the rays $P C$ and $P A$ also passes (why?). The line $l$ forms congruent angles with the rays $P A, P B$, and $P C$. This same line $l$ forms congruent angles with the opposite rays $P A^{\prime}, P B^{\prime}$, and $P C^{\prime}$. The plane passing through $P$ perpendicular to $l$ forms congruent angles with the lines $A A^{\prime}, B B^{\prime}, C C^{\prime}$, and thus also with the lines $a, b$, and $c$. Another solution is obtained by considering the rays $P A, P B$, and $P C^{\prime}$ and their opposite rays $P A^{\prime}, P B^{\prime}$, and $P C$. Two more solutions correspond to the triples of rays $P B, P C$, and $P A^{\prime}$ (with their opposites $P B^{\prime}, P C^{\prime}, P A$) and $P A, P C, P B^{\prime}$ (with their opposites $P A^{\prime}, P C^{\prime}$, $P B$). Thus, there are 4 planes that satisfy the condition of the problem.

Then, in the isosceles triangle $A M B$, the two sides and the angle between them are known, and it can be constructed on a separate drawing. We will then know the length of the slant $|A B|$, and consequently, the length of its projection $\left|A^{\prime} B\right|$ onto the second face. The desired point $B$ must lie on the circle with center at point $A^{\prime}$ and radius $\left|A^{\prime} B\right|$, and at the same time on the circle with center at point $M$ and radius $|M A|$. By constructing point $B$, we will determine the desired ray. Determine how many solutions the problem can have. 142

The common tangent plane of two spheres passes through the center of their homothety, since the radii drawn to the points of tangency are parallel, and the line passing through the points of tangency also passes through the center of homothety (see the previous problem). The centers of homothety of three spheres belong to the plane of their centers and coincide with the centers of homothety of the circles of section of the spheres by this plane. Therefore, the plane tangent to all three spheres passes through the axes of homothety of these circles (see problem 15 from §2). Since the spheres are symmetric relative to the plane of their centers, through each axis of homothety there pass pairs of mutually symmetric planes tangent to the three spheres. Thus, pairs of symmetric planes tangent to three spheres intersect along lines lying in the plane of the centers and form a configuration of 4 lines and 6 points, with 3 points on each line.

36*. A polyhedron is called regular if all its faces are regular and congruent polygons to each other and all its polyhedral angles are also regular and congruent to each other ${ }^{2}$. Investigate the possibility of constructing simple regular polyhedra with $n$-sided faces and $m$-sided angles and determine the possible number of their types, using the following considerations. Divide the entire space into $f$ congruent regular $n$-sided angles with a common vertex $S$, with $m$ angles at each edge, and express the magnitudes of their dihedral angles in terms of $n$ and $f$. If a regular $n$-sided pyramid is constructed from the found magnitude of the dihedral angle, with the base being a regular $n$-sided polygon - a face of the desired polyhedron, then from such congruent pyramids, a regular polyhedron can be assembled (for example, a cube is assembled from six regular quadrilateral pyramids with a common vertex at the center of the cube). It can be proven that any regular polyhedron can be obtained by such a construction. (The last remark can be used without proof in solving this and the following problems.) ## 44
36. Let the faces of a regular polyhedron be regular $n$-gons, and the polyhedral angles at the vertices be regular $m$-gonal angles; obviously, $m \geqslant 3, n \geqslant 3$. Divide the space into $f$ congruent regular $n$-gonal angles with a common vertex $S$ such that around each edge $[S A)$ there are $m$ angles. Then the magnitude of each of these $f$ polyhedral angles is $\frac{4 \pi}{f}$. Since this magnitude is the difference between the sum of the magnitudes of its dihedral angles and the number $\pi(n-2)$, the sum of all dihedral angles of the $n$-gonal angle is $\frac{4 \pi}{f} + \pi(n-2) = \frac{4 + nf - 2f}{f} \pi$. One dihedral angle has a magnitude that is $n$ times smaller, i.e., $\frac{4 + nf - 2f}{nf} \pi$. On the other hand, since at each of the $p$ edges of our $n$-gonal angles there are $m$ congruent dihedral angles, the magnitude of each of them is $\frac{2 \pi}{m}$. Thus, $$ \begin{gathered} \frac{2 \pi}{m} = \frac{4 + nf - 2f}{nf} \pi \\ 2nf + 2mf - mnf = 4m \\ f = \frac{4m}{2m + 2n - mn} \end{gathered} $$ ## 168 Since $f > 0, m > 0$, from (1) we have $2m + 2n - mn > 0$, $$ \frac{2}{m} + \frac{2}{n} > 1 $$ Thus, the division of space into congruent polyhedral angles is possible only if the numbers $m \geqslant 3$ and $n \geqslant 3$ satisfy the inequality (2). Clearly, only five cases are possible: 1) $m=3$ and $n=3: \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} > 1$. From (1) we get $f=4$, the polyhedron is bounded by 4 triangles - this is a tetrahedron. The corresponding values of the numbers $a$ and $p$ are obtained from the formulas in problems 27 and 28: for the tetrahedron $a=6, p=4$. 2) For $m=3, n=4$ we get: $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{4} > 1, f=6$. The polyhedron is bounded by six squares - this is a hexahedron or cube. Here $a=12, p=8$. 3) For $m=4, n=3$ we also get $\frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{3} > 1 ; f=8$. The polyhedron is bounded by eight triangles - this is an octahedron. In it, $a=12, p=6$. 4) For $m=3, n=5$ we have: $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{5} > 1 ; f=12$. The polyhedron is bounded by twelve pentagons - this is a dodecahedron. In it, $a=30, p=20$. 5) For $m=5, n=3 ; \frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{3} > 1, f=20$. The polyhedron is bounded by 20 triangles - this is an icosahedron. In it, $a=30, p=12$. For $m=4$ and $n=4$ we have: $\frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = 1$, and the inequality (2) is not satisfied. For further increases in the values of $m$ and $n$, the expression on the left side of the inequality (2) becomes even smaller, and it cannot be valid. It can be shown that any regular polyhedron can be obtained by the described construction, and our considerations show that there are only five types of regular polyhedra in space.

46*. Inscribed a cube in a dodecahedron so that all eight vertices of the cube are vertices of the dodecahedron. How many solutions does the problem have?
46. Consider a dodecahedron with center $S$ (Fig. 101). Due to the congruence of the faces, their diagonals are also congruent: $[A B] \cong|B C| \cong \cong[C D] \cong[D A]$. In the regular triangular pyramid $P A B Q$, the edge $[P Q]$ is perpendicular to the base edge $[A B]$ (see problem 8 from § 5). But $(P Q)\|(A D)\|(B C)$, and thus, $A B C D$ is a square. Similarly, ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_21_5cdadc99c18e78f1502ag-173.jpg?height=543&width=616&top_left_y=254&top_left_x=343) Fig. 101 we will prove that $A B B^{\prime} A^{\prime}, B C C^{\prime} B^{\prime}$, $A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} D^{\prime}$, and $A D D^{\prime} A^{\prime}$ are also squares. Thus, the polyhedron $A B C D C^{\prime} D^{\prime} A^{\prime} B^{\prime}$ is a cube, whose edges are the diagonals of the dodecahedron. If in the pentagon $A M N B P$ we take another diagonal $[A N]$, we get the square $A N E Q$, which is a face of the cube $A N E Q C^{\prime} N^{\prime} E^{\prime} Q^{\prime}$. From the other three diagonals $[B M \mid, [M P]$, and $\mid N P]$, we obtain three more cubes: $B M F^{\prime} Q D^{\prime} M^{\prime} F Q^{\prime}$, $M P D E^{\prime} M^{\prime} F^{\prime} B^{\prime} E$, and $N P C F N^{\prime} P^{\prime} A^{\prime} F^{\prime}$. It is not difficult to verify that each diagonal of each face of the dodecahedron is a side of one and only one of these cubes. Therefore, there are exactly five such cubes (60 face diagonals are distributed 12 to each of the 5 cubes).

25. Four pairwise non-intersecting spheres of equal radii are given, with centers not lying in the same plane. a) How many spheres exist that touch all four spheres simultaneously? b) How to construct these spheres?
25. a) The contact of spheres can be of two kinds: 1) external contact, when the spheres lie one outside the other and the distance between their centers is equal to the sum of the radii; 2) internal contact, when one sphere is inside the other and the distance between the centers is equal to the difference of the radii. A sphere $S$, touching the given four spheres, can occupy the following positions relative to them: 1) all 4 spheres touch sphere $S$ externally; 2) all 4 spheres touch sphere $S$ internally; 3) 3 spheres touch externally, one internally (4 positions); 4) 3 spheres touch internally, one externally (4 positions); 5) 2 spheres touch internally, two externally (6 positions). In total, for the touching sphere, we get 16 different possibilities. b) Let us indicate the construction in each case. 1) Let a sphere with center $O$ and radius $R$ touch externally four spheres with centers $O_{1}, O_{2}, O_{3}, O_{4}$ and one radius $r$. Suppose the radii $r$ of the four spheres are reduced by the same length and the radius $R$ is increased by the same length. Since the distances between the centers have not changed, the contact of the spheres is preserved. Reduce the radii of the spheres to zero, then the spheres will "degenerate" into points $O_{1}, O_{2}, O_{3}, O_{4}$, and the radius of the tangent sphere will become equal to $R+r$. The problem is reduced to constructing a sphere through 4 given points. By constructing this sphere and reducing its radius by the length $r$, we obtain the desired sphere, touching the given four spheres. 2) If the radius of the sphere passing through the points $O_{1}, O_{2}, O_{3}, O_{4}$ is increased by $r$, then we obtain a sphere internally tangent to the four spheres. 3) Similarly, "contract" the three spheres of external contact to their centers; then the fourth tangent sphere will have a radius of $2r$. The problem is reduced to constructing a sphere passing through the given points and tangent to the given sphere. For this, we draw a circle through 3 points and draw a perpendicular to its plane through the center. The center of the tangent sphere must lie on this perpendicular. Draw a plane through this line and the center of the fourth sphere. The problem is reduced to a planimetric one: through two given points (these are the points of intersection of the obtained plane with the circle passing through the centers of the three spheres) draw a circle tangent to the given circle (see problem 49 from $\S 2$). 4) In this case, the three spheres are again contracted to points, and the further construction remains the same as in the previous case. 5) In this position, two spheres are contracted to two points, and the radii of the other two spheres are doubled. The center of the tangent sphere lies in the plane of symmetry of the two points and in the plane of symmetry of the two spheres. Since the 4 centers of the given spheres do not lie in the same plane, the indicated planes of symmetry intersect along some line $l$. Any sphere with its center on the line $l$ and passing through one of the points $O_{1}$ or $O_{2}$, due to symmetry, passes through the other as well, and if it touches one of the spheres, it touches the other as well. We again come to the same problem: through two given points, draw a sphere tangent to the given sphere. For its solution, the same planimetric construction can be used.

7. a) Any integer can be represented in the form: \( n = 10k + r \), where \( k \) is an integer and \( r = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, 9 \). Based on the equality \( n^2 = 10(10k^2 + 2kr) + r^2 \), we conclude that the numbers \( n^2 \) and \( r^2 \) end with the same digit. It remains to verify directly that \( r^2 \) does not end in any of the digits 2, 3, 7, 8. b) Numbers of this form, when \( n \) is even, end in the digits 2 and 3, and when \( n \) is odd, they end in the digits 7 and 8. As follows from problem 7a, numbers of this form cannot be perfect squares. c) Since \( n^2 \) cannot end in 2 or 7, \( n^2 + 3 \) cannot end in 5 or 0. d) Let \( P(n) = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \ldots n + 97 \). Then \( P(1) = 98 \), \( P(2) = 99 \), \( P(3) = 103 \), \( P(4) = 121 \). Thus, \( P(4) \) is a perfect square. If \( n \geq 5 \), then \( P(n) \) ends in 7 and cannot be a perfect square. Answer: \( n = 4 \).
