Problem 1

ABCABC is an equilateral triangle. DD and D′D' are points on opposite sides of the plane ABCABC such that the two tetrahedra ABCDABCD and ABCD′ABCD' are congruent (but not necessarily with the vertices in that order). If the polyhedron with the five vertices A,B,C,D,D′A, B, C, D, D' is such that the angle between any two adjacent faces is the same, find DD′/ABDD'/AB .

Problem 2

At a party every girl danced with at least one boy, but not with all of them. Similarly, every boy danced with at least one girl, but not with all of them. Show that there were two girls GG and G′G' and two boys BB and B′B' , such that each of BB and GG danced, B′B' and G′G' danced, but BB and G′G' did not dance, and B′B' and GG did not dance.

Problem 3

Show that for any positive reals w,x,y,zw, x, y, z we have w2+x2+y2+z24≥wxy+wxz+wyz+xyz43\sqrt{\frac{w^2 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2}{4}}\ge \sqrt[3]{ \frac{wxy + wxz + wyz + xyz}{4}}
