Find all primes $ p$ for that there is an integer $ n$ such that there are no integers $ x,y$ with $ x^3 \plus{} y^3 \equiv n \mod p$ (so not all residues are the sum of two cubes). E.g. for $ p \equal{} 7$, one could set $ n \equal{} \pm 3$ since $ x^3,y^3 \equiv 0 , \pm 1 \mod 7$, thus $ x^3 \plus{} y^3 \equiv 0 , \pm 1 , \pm 2 \mod 7$ only.

There is a wooden $3 \times 3 \times 3$ cube and 18 rectangular $3 \times 1$ paper strips. Each strip has two dotted lines dividing it into three unit squares. The full surface of the cube is covered with the given strips, flat or bent. Each flat strip is on one face of the cube. Each bent strip (bent at one of its dotted lines) is on two adjacent faces of the cube. What is the greatest possible number of bent strips? Justify your answer.

Chitoge is painting a cube; she can paint each face either black or white, but she wants no vertex of the cube to be touching three faces of the same color. In how many ways can Chitoge paint the cube? Two paintings of a cube are considered to be the same if you can rotate one cube so that it looks like the other cube.

The icosahedron is a convex, regular polyhedron consisting of $20$ equilateral triangle for faces. A particular icosahedron given to you has labels on each of its vertices, edges, and faces. Each minute, you uniformly at random pick one of the labels on the icosahedron. If the label is on a vertex, you remove it. If the label is on an edge, you delete the label on the edge along with any labels still on the vertices of that edge. If the label is on a face, you delete the label on the face along with any labels on the edges and vertices which make up that face. What is the expected number of minutes that pass before you have removed all labels from the icosahedron?

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 $m + n$.
