Problem B. 4802. (May 2016)

B. 4802. The inscribed sphere of a right circular cone \(\displaystyle \mathcal{K}\) is \(\displaystyle \mathcal{G}\). The centres of the spheres \(\displaystyle g_1, g_2, \dots, g_n\) of radius \(\displaystyle r\) form a regular \(\displaystyle n\)-gon of side \(\displaystyle 2r\). Furthermore, each sphere \(\displaystyle g_i\) is tangent to both the lateral surface and the base of \(\displaystyle \mathcal{K}\), and also tangent to \(\displaystyle \mathcal{G}\). What may be the value of \(\displaystyle n\)?
