Let $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ be the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, each of whose edges measures 1 meter. A bug, starting from vertex $A$, observes the following rule: at each vertex it chooses one of the three edges meeting at that vertex, each edge being equally likely to be chosen, and crawls along that edge to the vertex at its opposite end. Let $p = n/729$ be the probability that the bug is at vertex $A$ when it has crawled exactly 7 meters. Find the value of $n$.

There are two pipes on the plane (the pipes are circular cylinders of equal size, $4$ m around). Two of them are parallel and, being tangent one to another in the common generatrix, form a tunnel over the plane. The third pipe is perpendicular to two others and cuts out a chamber in the tunnel. Determine the area of the surface of this chamber.

A spacecraft landed on an asteroid. It is known that the asteroid is either a ball or a cube. The rover started its route at the landing site and finished it at the point symmetric to the landing site with respect to the center of the asteroid. On its way, the rover transmitted its spatial coordinates to the spacecraft on the landing site so that the trajectory of the rover movement was known. Can it happen that this information is not suffcient to determine whether the asteroid is a ball or a cube?

Given a regular tetrahedron with edge $a$, its edges are divided into $n$ equal segments, thus obtaining $n + 1$ points: $2$ at the ends and $n - 1$ inside. The following set of planes is considered:
$\bullet$ those that contain the faces of the tetrahedron, and
$\bullet$ each of the planes parallel to a face of the tetrahedron and containing at least one of the points determined above.
Now all those points $P$ that belong (simultaneously) to four planes of that set are considered. Determine the smallest positive natural $n$ so that among those points $P$ the eight vertices of a square-based rectangular parallelepiped can be chosen.

We have eight light bulbs, placed on the eight lattice points (points with integer coordinates) in space that are $\sqrt{3}$ units away from the origin. Each light bulb can either be turned on or off. These lightbulbs are unstable, however. If two light bulbs that are at most 2 units apart are both on simultaneously, they both explode. Given that no explosions take place, how many possible configurations of on/off light bulbs exist?
