A convex polyhedron $ Q$ has vertices $ V_1,V_2,\ldots,V_n$, and $ 100$ edges. The polyhedron is cut by planes $ P_1,P_2,\ldots,P_n$ in such a way that plane $ P_k$ cuts only those edges that meet at vertex $ V_k$. In addition, no two planes intersect inside or on $ Q$. The cuts produce $ n$ pyramids and a new polyhedron $ R$. How many edges does $ R$ have? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 200\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 2n\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 300\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 400\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 4n$

A $1\times 1\times 1$ cube is placed on an $8\times 8$ chessboard so that its bottom face coincides with a square of the chessboard. The cube rolls over a bottom edge so that the adjacent face now lands on the chessboard. In this way, the cube rolls around the chessboard, landing on each square at least once. Is it possible that a particular face of the cube never lands on the chessboard?
