Albrecht likes to draw hexagons with all sides having equal length. He calls an angle of such a hexagon [i]nice [/i] if it is exactly $120^o$. He writes the number of its nice angles inside each hexagon. How many different numbers could Albrecht write inside the hexagons? Show examples for as many values as possible and give a reasoning why others cannot appear. [i]Albrecht can also draw concave hexagons[/i]

A right rectangular prism $P$ (i.e., a rectangular parallelpiped) has sides of integral length $a, b, c,$ with $a\le b\le c.$ A plane parallel to one of the faces of $P$ cuts $P$ into two prisms, one of which is similar to $P,$ and both of which have nonzero volume. Given that $b=1995,$ for how many ordered triples $(a, b, c)$ does such a plane exist?

Let $ ABCD $ be a tetrahedron with $ \angle ABC = \angle ABD = \angle CBD = 90^\circ $ and $ AB = BC $. Let $ E, F, G $ be points on $ \overline{AD} $, $ BD $, and $ \overline{CD} $, respectively, such that each of the quadrilaterals $ AEFB $, $ BFGC $, and $ CGEA $ have an inscribed circle. Let $ r $ be the smallest real number such that $ \dfrac{[\triangle EFG]}{[\triangle ABC]} \leq r $ for all such configurations $ A, B, C, D, E, F, G $. If $ r $ can be expressed as $ \dfrac{\sqrt{a - b\sqrt{c}}}{d} $ where $ a, b, c, d $ are positive integers with $ \gcd(a, b) $ squarefree and $ c $ squarefree, find $ a + b + c + d $. Note: Here, $ [P] $ denotes the area of polygon $ P $. (This wasn't in the original test; instead they used the notation $ \text{area}(P) $, which is clear but frankly cumbersome. :P)

The sides of the parallelogram serve as the diagonals of the four squares. The vertices of the squares lying in the part of the plane external to the parallelogram (the sides of the squares emerging from these vertices do not have common points with the parallelogram) serve as the vertices of a quadrilateral of area $a$, the four vertices opposite to them form a quadrilateral of area $b$. Find the area of the parallelogram.

Consider a checkered board $2m \times 2n$, $m, n \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. A stone is placed on one of the unit squares on the board, this square is different from the upper right square and from the lower left square. A snail goes from the bottom left square and wants to get to the top right square, walking from one square to other adjacent, one square at a time (two squares are adjacent if they share an edge). Determine all the squares the stone can be in so that the snail can complete its path by visiting each square exactly one time, except the square with the stone, which the snail does not visit.
