The cells of the $11 \times 111 \times11$ cube contain the numbers $ 1, 2, , . .. . . 1331$, once each number. Two worms are sent from one corner cube to the opposite corner. Each of them can crawl into a cube adjacent to the edge, while the first can crawl if the number in the adjacent cube differs by $8$, the second - if they differ by $ 9$. Is there such an arrangement of numbers that both worms can get to the opposite corner cube?

Two circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ with the respective radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ intersect in $A$ and $B.$ A variable line $r$ through $B$ meets $C_1$ and $C_2$ again at $P_r$ and $Q_r$ respectively.

$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$, $P(n)$ denotes the number of the partition of $n$ as the sum of positive integers (disregarding the order of the parts), e.g. since $4 = 1+1+1+1 = 1+1+2 = 1+3 = 2+2 = 4$, so $P(4)=5$. "Dispersion" of a partition denotes the number of different parts in that partitation. And denote $q(n)$ is the sum of all the dispersions, e.g. $q(4)=1+2+2+1+1=7$. $n \geq 1$. Prove that
(1) $q(n) = 1 + \sum^{n-1}_{i=1} P(i).$
(2) $1 + \sum^{n-1}_{i=1} P(i) \leq \sqrt{2} \cdot n \cdot P(n)$.

Mandy needs to wake up early for attending a mathematics contest. She has set an alarm in her smartphone every 15 minutes since 5:30 am. If an alarm is not pressed off by her or her mother (or anything else), it will ring for a while, stop for a while, then will ring again 9 minutes later as the first ring, and so on (e.g. if the first alarm is not pressed off, it will ring again at 5:39 am). Also each alarm will work independently. Now suppose each ring-tone lasts for $x$ minutes, and the smartphone has eventually rung for 50 minutes before Mandy wakes up at 6:30 am (assume no one has pressed off any alarm before that). Find the value of $x$.

Given a circle $C$ and a point $P$ on its exterior, two tangents to the circle are drawn through $P$, with $A$ and $B$ being the points of tangency. We take a point $Q$ on the minor arc $AB$ of $C$. Let $M$ be the intersection of $AQ$ with the line perpendicular to $AQ$ that goes through $P$, and let $N$ be the intersection of $BQ$ with the line perpendicular to $BQ$ that goes through $P$.
Show that, by varying $Q$ on the minor arc $AB$, all of the lines $MN$ pass through the same point.
