How many ways are there to color a tetrahedron’s faces, edges, and vertices in red, green, and blue so that no face shares a color with any of its edges, and no edge shares a color with any of its endpoints? (Rotations and reflections are considered distinct.) [i]Tiebreaker #2[/i]

Find two positive integers $a,b$ such that $a | b^2, b^2 | a^3, a^3 | b^4, b^4 | a^5$, but $a^5$ does not divide $b^6$

Given right hexagon. Each side is divided onto $1000$ equal segments. All the points of division are connected with the segments, parallel to sides. Let us paint in turn the triples of unpainted nodes of obtained net, if they are vertices of the unilateral triangle, doesn't matter of what size an orientation. Suppose, we have managed to paint all the vertices except one. Prove that the unpainted node is not a hexagon vertex.

Seven pairs of points are distance $1$ apart, two pairs of points are distance $\sqrt3$ apart, and one pair of points is distance $2$ apart.

Mandrew Mellon is competing in the annual Martian College Interesting Competition of Math (MCICM). The first question asks to compute the product of the base $8$ numerals $1245415_8$, $7563265_8$, and $ 6321473_8$. Mandrew correctly computed the product in his scratch work, but when he looked back he realized he smudged the middle digit. He knows that the product is $1014133027\blacksquare 27662041138$. What is the missing digit? PS. You should use hide for answers.

We say that a binary string $s$ [i]contains[/i] another binary string $t$ if there exist indices $i_1,i_2,\ldots,i_{|t|}$ with $i_1 < i_2 < \ldots < i_{|t|}$ such that $$s_{i_1}s_{i_2}\ldots s_{i_{|t|}} = t.$$ (In other words, $t$ is found as a not necessarily contiguous substring of $s$.) For example, $110010$ contains $111$. What is the length of the shortest string $s$ which contains the binary representations of all the positive integers less than or equal to $2048$?

Let $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ be two disjoint circles, with centers $O_1$ and $O_2$. One of their exterior tangents cuts $\gamma_1$ in $A_1$ and $\gamma_2$ in $A_2$. One of their common internal tangents cuts $\gamma_1$ in $B_1$ and $\gamma_2$ in $B_2$, and the other common internal tangent cuts $\gamma_1$ in $C_1$ and $\gamma_2$ int $C_2$. Let $B_1B_2$ and $C_1C_2$ intersect in $O$. $X$ is the point where $A_2O$ cuts $\gamma_1$ and $OX<OB_1$. Similarly, $Y$ is the point where $A_1O$ cuts $\gamma_2$ and $OY<OB_2$. The perpendicular in $X$ to $OX$ cuts $O_1B_1$ in $P$ and the perpendicular in $Y$ to $OY$ cuts $O_2C_2$ in $Q$. Prove that $PQ$ and $A_1A_2$ are parallel. [i]Proposed by Flavian Georgescu[/i]

Consider a board of $a \times b$, with $a$ and $b$ integers greater than or equal to $2$. Initially their squares are colored black and white like a chess board. The permitted operation consists of choosing two squares with a common side and recoloring them as follows: a white square becomes black; a black box turns green; a green box turns white. Determine for which values of $a$ and $b$ it is possible, by a succession of allowed operations, to make all the squares that were initially white end black and all the squares that were initially black end white. Clarification: Initially there are no green squares, but they appear after the first operation.
