Each of the $12$ edges of a cube is labeled $0$ or $1$. Two labelings are considered different even if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of one or more rotations and/or reflections. For how many such labelings is the sum of the labels on the edges of each of the $6$ faces of the cube equal to $2?$

A cube consisting of $(2N)^3$ unit cubes is pierced by several needles parallel to the edges of the cube (each needle pierces exactly $2N$ unit cubes). Each unit cube is pierced by at least one needle. Let us call any subset of these needles “regular” if there are no two needles in this subset that pierce the same unit cube.
a) Prove that there exists a regular subset consisting of $2N^2$ needles such that all of them have either the same direction or two different directions.
b) What is the maximum size of a regular subset that does exist for sure?

A right prism with height $h$ has bases that are regular hexagons with sides of length $12$. A vertex $A$ of the prism and its three adjacent vertices are the vertices of a triangular pyramid. The dihedral angle (the angle between the two planes) formed by the face of the pyramid that lies in a base of the prism and the face of the pyramid that does not contain $A$ measures $60^\circ$. Find $h^2$.
