Answers which are illeg- ible for the grader cannot be given credit: show your work. Except for problems 1-3, we need to see details of your computation: no notes, books, calculators, computers, or other electronic aids can be allowed, you have 180 minutes time to complete your work. There are two unit vectors ~v, ~w for which the sum ~v + ~w has length 1/3. For any three vectors, we have |(~u ~v) ~w| = |(~v ~w) ~u|. Denote by d(p, l) the distance from a point p to a line l in space. For any point p and any two lines l, k in space, we have d(p, l) + d(p, k) d(l, k).
