Say that a positive integer is [i]sweet[/i] if it uses only the digits 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8. For instance, 2014 is sweet. There are sweet integers whose squares are sweet: some examples (not necessarily the smallest) are 1, 2, 11, 12, 20, 100, 202, and 210. There are sweet integers whose cubes are sweet: some examples (not necessarily the smallest) are 1, 2, 10, 20, 200, 202, 281, and 2424. Prove that there exists a sweet positive integer $n$ whose square and cube are both sweet, such that the sum of all the digits of $n$ is 2014.

Four congruent spheres are stacked so that each is tangent to the other three. A larger sphere, $R$, contains the four congruent spheres so that all four are internally tangent to $R$. A smaller sphere, $S$, sits in the space between the four congruent spheres so that all four are externally tangent to $S$. The ratio of the surface area of $R$ to the surface area of $S$ can be written $m+\sqrt{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m + n$.

In $\mathbb{R}^3$ some $n$ points are coloured. In every step, if four coloured points lie on the same line, Vojtěch can colour any other point on this line. He observes that he can colour any point $P \in \mathbb{R}^3$ in a finite number of steps (possibly depending on $P$). Find the minimal value of $n$ for which this could happen.
