In a tetrahedron we know that sum of angles of all vertices is $180^\circ.$ (e.g. for vertex $A$, we have $\angle BAC + \angle CAD + \angle DAB=180^\circ.$)
Prove that faces of this tetrahedron are four congruent triangles.

A tetrahedron $ABCD$ is given. The incircles of triangles $ ABC$ and $ABD$ with centers $O_1, O_2$, touch $AB$ at points $T_1, T_2$. The plane $\pi_{AB}$ passing through the midpoint of $T_1T_2$ is perpendicular to $O_1O_2$. The planes $\pi_{AC},\pi_{BC}, \pi_{AD}, \pi_{BD}, \pi_{CD}$ are defined similarly. Prove that these six planes have a common point.

Consider the $8\times 8\times 8$ Rubik’s cube below. Each face is painted with a different color, and it is possible to turn any layer, as you can with smaller Rubik’s cubes. Let $X$ denote the move that turns the shaded layer shown (indicated by arrows going from the top to the right of the cube) clockwise by $90$ degrees, about the axis labeled $X$. When move $X$ is performed, the only layer that moves is the shaded layer.
Likewise, define move $Y$ to be a clockwise $90$-degree turn about the axis labeled Y, of just the shaded layer shown (indicated by the arrows going from the front to the top, where the front is the side pierced by the $X$ rotation axis). Let $M$ denote the move “perform $X$, then perform $Y$.”

Imagine that the cube starts out in “solved” form (so each face has just one color), and we start doing move $M$ repeatedly. What is the least number of repeats of $M$ in order for the cube to be restored to its original colors?

We have an empty equilateral triangle with length of a side $l$. We put the triangle, horizontally, over a sphere of radius $r$. Clearly, if the triangle is small enough, the triangle is held by the sphere. Which is the distance between any vertex of the triangle and the centre of the sphere (as a function of $l$ and $r$)?

There is a ring outside of Saturn. In order to distinguish if the ring is actually a part of Saturn or is instead part of the satellites of Saturn, we need to know the relation between the velocity $v$ of each layer in the ring and the distance $R$ of the layer to the center of Saturn. Which of the following statements is correct?
$\textbf{(A) }$ If $v \propto R$, then the layer is part of Saturn.
$\textbf{(B) }$ If $v^2 \propto R$, then the layer is part of the satellites of Saturn.
$\textbf{(C) }$ If $v \propto 1/R$, then the layer is part of Saturn.
$\textbf{(D) }$ If $v^2 \propto 1/R$, then the layer is part of Saturn.
$\textbf{(E) }$ If $v \propto R^2$, then the layer is part of the satellites of Saturn.

Find, with proof, whether there exists a function $f:S\rightarrow C$ such that $d(A,B)\le d(f(A),f(B))$ for any two points $A,B\in S$ where $d(X,Y)$ denotes the distance between the points $X$ and $Y$.

Viktor and Natalia play a colouring game with a 3-dimensional cube taking turns alternatingly. Viktor goes first, and on each of his turns, he selects an unpainted edge, and paints it violet. On each of Natalia's turns, she selects an unpainted edge, or at most once during the game a face diagonal, and paints it neon green. If the player on turn cannot make a legal move, then the turn switches to the other player. The game ends when nobody can make any more legal moves.
Natalia wins if at the end of the game every vertex of the cube can be reached from every other vertex by traveling only along neon green segments (edges or diagonal), otherwise Viktor wins.
Who has a winning strategy? (Prove your answer.)
