For an arbitrary point \( S \) of a convex polyhedron, consider the corresponding dihedral angles with a common vertex \( S \), "resting" on the faces of the polyhedron. These dihedral angles together cover the entire space. Taking this into account and using the formulas derived in previous problems, prove Euler's theorem: "The sum of the number of faces and the number of vertices of a convex polyhedron is 2 more than the number of its edges" - in our notation: \( f + p - a = 2 \).

Seven teams play a soccer tournament in which each team plays every other team exactly once. No ties occur, each team has a $50\%$ chance of winning each game it plays, and the outcomes of the games are independent. In each game, the winner is awarded a point and the loser gets 0 points. The total points are accumulated to decide the ranks of the teams. In the first game of the tournament, team $A$ beats team $B.$ The probability that team $A$ finishes with more points than team $B$ is $m/n,$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n.$

The fifth grade has 120 teachers and students going to visit the Natural History Museum. A transportation company offers two types of vehicles to choose from: (1) A bus with a capacity of 40 people, with a ticket price of 5 yuan per person. If the bus is full, the ticket price can be discounted by 20%. (2) A minivan with a capacity of 10 people, with a ticket price of 6 yuan per person. If the minivan is full, the ticket price can be discounted to 75% of the original price. Please design the most cost-effective rental plan for the fifth-grade teachers and students based on the information above, and calculate the total rental cost.
