A solid tetrahedron is sliced off a solid wooden unit cube by a plane passing through two nonadjacent vertices on one face and one vertex on the opposite face not adjacent to either of the first two vertices. The tetrahedron is discarded and the remaining portion of the cube is placed on a table with the cut surface face down. What is the height of this object?

[b](a)[/b] Given a tetrahedron $ABCD$ and its four altitudes (i.e., lines through each vertex, perpendicular to the opposite face), assume that the altitude dropped from $D$ passes through the orthocenter $H_4$ of $\triangle ABC$. Prove that this altitude $DH_4$ intersects all the other three altitudes.
[b](b)[/b] If we further know that a second altitude, say the one from vertex A to the face $BCD$, also passes through the orthocenter $H_1$ of $\triangle BCD$, then prove that all four altitudes are concurrent and each one passes through the orthocenter of the respective triangle.

In tetrahedron $ABCD$, vertex $D$ is connected with $D_0$, the centrod if $\triangle ABC$. Line parallel to $DD_0$ are drawn through $A,B$ and $C$. These lines intersect the planes $BCD, CAD$ and $ABD$ in points $A_2, B_1,$ and $C_1$, respectively. Prove that the volume of $ABCD$ is one third the volume of $A_1B_1C_1D_0$. Is the result if point $D_o$ is selected anywhere within $\triangle ABC$?

Points $A,B,C,D$ are taken on successive lateral edges so that segments $AB$, $BC$, and $CD$ pass through the three corresponding tangency points of the sphere with the faces. Prove that the segment $AD$ passes through the fourth tangency point

Let $E$ be a Euclidean space of at most three dimensions. If $A$ is a nonempty subset of $E$, define $S(A)$ to be the set of points that lie on closed segments joining pairs of points of $A$ (a one-point set should be considered to be a special case of a closed segment). For a given nonempty set $A_0$, define $A_n =S(A_{n-1})$ for $n=1,2,\ldots$ Prove that $A_2 =A_3 =\ldots.$

We are given $n$ mass points of equal mass in space. We define a sequence of points $O_1,O_2,O_3,\ldots $ as follows: $O_1$ is an arbitrary point (within the unit distance of at least one of the $n$ points); $O_2$ is the centre of gravity of all the $n$ given points that are inside the unit sphere centred at $O_1$;$O_3$ is the centre of gravity of all of the $n$ given points that are inside the unit sphere centred at $O_2$; etc. Prove that starting from some $m$, all points $O_m,O_{m+1},O_{m+2},\ldots$ coincide.

An insect lives on the surface of a regular tetrahedron with edges of length 1. It wishes to travel on the surface of the tetrahedron from the midpoint of one edge to the midpoint of the opposite edge. What is the length of the shortest such trip? (Note: Two edges of a tetrahedron are opposite if they have no common endpoint.)

We are given a cube with edges of length $n$ cm. At our disposal is a long piece of insulating tape of width $1$ cm. It is required to stick this tape to the cube. The tape may freely cross an edge of the cube on to a different face but it must always be parallel to an edge of the cube. It may not overhang the edge of a face or cross over a vertex. How many pieces of the tape are necessary in order to completely cover the cube? (You may assume that $n$ is an integer.)

Let $D$ be a dodecahedron which can be inscribed in a sphere with radius $R$. Let $I$ be an icosahedron which can also be inscribed in a sphere of radius $R$. Which has the greater volume, and why?
Note: A regular [i]polyhedron [/i] is a geometric solid, all of whose faces are congruent regular polygons, in which the same number of polygons meet at each vertex. A regular dodecahedron is a polyhedron with $12$ faces which are regular pentagons and a regular icosahedron is a polyhedron with $20$ faces which are equilateral triangles. A polyhedron is inscribed in a sphere if all of its vertices lie on the surface of the sphere.
The illustration below shows a dodecahdron and an icosahedron, not necessarily to scale.
