1996 Denmark MO - Mohr Contest, 3
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.

A [i]cuboctahedron[/i], shown below, is a polyhedron with 8 equilateral triangle faces and 6 square faces. Each edge has the same length and each of the 24 vertices borders 2 squares and 2 triangles. An \textit{octahedron} is a regular polyhedron with 6 vertices and 8 equilateral triangle faces. Compute the sum of the volumes of an octahedron with side length 5 and a cuboctahedron with side length 5.

A $10 \times 10 \times 10$ cube is made up up from $500$ white unit cubes and $500$ black unit cubes, arranged in such a way that every two unit cubes that shares a face are in different colors. A line is a $1 \times 1 \times 10$ portion of the cube that is parallel to one of cube’s edges.
