A straight cone is given inside a rectangular parallelepiped $B$, with the apex at one of the vertices, say $T$ , of the parallelepiped, and the base touching the three faces opposite to $T .$ Its axis lies at the long diagonal through $T.$ If $V_1$ and $V_2$ are the volumes of the cone and the parallelepiped respectively, prove that
\[V_1 \leq \frac{\sqrt 3 \pi V_2}{27}.\]

Let $ l,d,k$ be natural numbers. We want to prove that for large numbers $ n$, for each $ k$-coloring of the $ n$-dimensional cube with side length $ l$, there is a $ d$-dimensional subspace that all of its vertices have the same color. Let $ H(l,d,k)$ be the least number such that for $ n\geq H(l,d,k)$ the previus statement holds.
a) Prove that:
\[ H(l,d \plus{} 1,k)\leq H(l,1,k) \plus{} H(l,d,k^l)^{H(l,1,k)}
\]
b) Prove that
\[ H(l \plus{} 1,1,k \plus{} 1)\leq H(l,1 \plus{} H(l \plus{} 1,1,k),k \plus{} 1)
\]
c) Prove the statement of problem.
d) Prove Van der Waerden's Theorem.

The numbers $\frac{1}{1}, \frac{1}{2}, \cdots , \frac{1}{2012}$ are written on the blackboard. Aïcha chooses any two numbers from the blackboard, say $x$ and $y$, erases them and she writes instead the number $x + y + xy$. She continues to do this until only one number is left on the board. What are the possible values of the final number?

There are $ n$ points ($ n \geq 4$) on a sphere with radius $ R$, and not all of them lie on the same semi-sphere. Prove that among all the angles formed by any two of the $ n$ points and the sphere centre $ O$ ($ O$ is the vertex of the angle), there is at least one that is not less than $ \displaystyle 2 \arcsin{\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}$.

Consider cubes of edge length 5 composed of 125 cubes of edge length 1 where each of the 125 cubes is either coloured black or white. A cube of edge length 5 is called "big", a cube od edge length is called "small". A posititve integer $ n$ is called "representable" if there is a big cube with exactly $ n$ small cubes where each row of five small cubes has an even number of black cubes whose centres lie on a line with distances $ 1,2,3,4$ (zero counts as even number).
(a) What is the smallest and biggest representable number?
(b) Construct 45 representable numbers.

In the coordinate space, consider the cubic with vertices $ O(0,\ 0,\ 0),\ A(1,\ 0,\ 0),\ B(1,\ 1,\ 0),\ C(0,\ 1,\ 0),\ D(0,\ 0,\ 1),\ E(1,\ 0,\ 1),\ F(1,\ 1,\ 1),\ G(0,\ 1,\ 1)$. Find the volume of the solid generated by revolution of the cubic around the diagonal $ OF$ as the axis of rotation.

$1.$A bottle in the shape of a cone lies on its base. Water is poured into the bottle until its level reaches a distance of 8 centimeters from the vertex of the cone (measured vertically). We now turn the bottle upside down without changing the amount of water it contains; This leaves an empty space in the upper part of the cone that is 2 centimeters high.
Find the height of the bottle.

We are given a convex four-sided pyramid with apex $S$ and base face $ABCD$ such that the pyramid has an inscribed sphere (i.e., it contains a sphere which is tangent to each race). By making cuts along the edges $SA,SB,SC,SD$ and rotating the faces $SAB,SBC,SCD,SDA$ outwards into the plane $ABCD$, we unfold the pyramid into the polygon $AKBLCMDN$ as shown in the figure. Prove that $K,L,M,N$ are concyclic.

Let $Oxyz$ be a trihedron whose edges $x,y, z$ are mutually perpendicular. Let $C$ be the point on the ray $z$ with $OC = c$. Points $P$ and $Q$ vary on the rays $x$ and $y$ respectively in such a way that $OP+OQ = k$ is constant. For every $P$ and $Q$, the circumcenter of the sphere through $O,C,P,Q$ is denoted by $W$. Find the locus of the projection of $W$ on the plane O$xy$. Also find the locus of points $W$.

A tank has the shape of a regular hexagonal prism, whose bases are $1$ m on a side and its height is $10$ m. The lateral edges are placed in an oblique position and is partially filled with $9$ m$^3$ of water. The plane of the free surface of the water cuts to all lateral edges. One of them is left with a part of $2$ m under water. What part is under water on the opposite side edge of the prism?

This year's gift idea from BabyMath consists of a series of nine colored plastic containers of decreasing size, alternating in shape like a cube and a sphere. All containers can open and close with a convenient hinge, and each container can hold just about anything next in line. The largest and smallest container are both cubes. Determine the relationship between the edge lengths of these cubes.

By a proper divisor of a natural number we mean a positive integral divisor other than 1 and the number itself. A natural number greater than 1 will be called "nice" if it is equal to the product of its distinct proper divisors. What is the sum of the first ten nice numbers?
