Question 19

(POL 1) Let $P$ be a point inside a regular tetrahedron $T$ of unit volume. The four planes passing through $P$ and parallel to the faces of $T$ partition $T$ into 14 pieces. Let $f(P)$ be the joint volume of those pieces that are neither a tetrahedron nor a parallelepiped (i.e., pieces adjacent to an edge but not to a vertex). Find the exact bounds for $f(P)$ as $P$ varies over $T$.
