Question 10

(ICE 3) Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be two spheres with distinct radii that touch externally. The spheres lie inside a cone $C$, and each sphere touches the cone in a full circle. Inside the cone there are $n$ additional solid spheres arranged in a ring in such a way that each solid sphere touches the cone $C$, both of the spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ externally, as well as the two neighboring solid spheres. What are the possible values of $n$?
