Solution

Problem 7
Two congruent right circular cones each with base radius and height have axes of symmetry that intersect at right angles at a
point in the interior of the cones a distance from the base of each cone. A sphere with radius lies within both cones. The
maximum possible value of is , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .

Problem 9
While watching a show, Ayako, Billy, Carlos, Dahlia, Ehuang, and Frank sat in that order in a row of six chairs. During the break, they
went to the kitchen for a snack. When they came back, they sat on those six chairs in such a way that if two of them sat next to
each other before the break, then they did not sit next to each other after the break. Find the number of possible seating orders they
could have chosen after the break.
