Problem 1:
Given an arbitrary triangle $ABC$ with area $T$ and perimeter $L$. Let $P,Q,R$ be the points of tangency of the sides $BC,CA,AB$ respectively with the inscribed circle. Prove that \[ \left ( \frac{AB}{PQ} \right )^3+ \left ( \frac{BC}{QR} \right )^3+\left ( \frac{CA}{RP} \right )^3 \geq \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \frac{L^2}{T}\]
