[b]rolling cube[/b]
$a$,$b$ and $c$ are natural numbers. we have a $(2a+1)\times (2b+1)\times (2c+1)$ cube. this cube is on an infinite plane with unit squares. you call roll the cube to every side you want. faces of the cube are divided to unit squares and the square in the middle of each face is coloured (it means that if this square goes on a square of the plane, then that square will be coloured.)
prove that if any two of lengths of sides of the cube are relatively prime, then we can colour every square in plane.

A set $ S$ of points from the space will be called [b]completely symmetric[/b] if it has at least three elements and fulfills the condition that for every two distinct points $ A$ and $ B$ from $ S$, the perpendicular bisector plane of the segment $ AB$ is a plane of symmetry for $ S$. Prove that if a completely symmetric set is finite, then it consists of the vertices of either a regular polygon, or a regular tetrahedron or a regular octahedron.
Color the six faces of a cube in six given colors. Each face is colored in exactly one color. Two faces with a common edge is in different colors. Then the number of ways to color the cube is________.
Note: If we can make two cubes look the same by turning one of then, they are considered the same.

Given any five points on a sphere, show that some four of them must lie on a closed hemisphere.
A crate with a base of $4 \times 2$ and a height of $2$ is open at the top. Tomas wants to completely fill the crate with some of his cubes. It has $16$ equal cubes of volume $1$ and two equal cubes of volume $8$. A cube of volume $1$ can only be placed on the top layer if the cube on the bottom layer has already been placed. In how many ways can Tom'as fill the box with cubes, placing them one by one?

Show that if there exists a right circular cone with vertex $V$, with the properties:
[b](1)[/b] its axis passes through $O$, and
[b](2)[/b] its curved surface passes through $A,B,C$ and $D,$ then
\[OV^2=\frac{d^2b^2(c + a)^2 - c^2a^2(d + b)^2}{ca(d - b)^2 - db(c - a)^2}.\]

Let $EFGH$, $EFDC$, and $EHBC$ be three adjacent square faces of a cube, for which $EC=8$, and let $A$ be the eighth vertex of the cube. Let $I$, $J$, and $K$, be the points on $\overline{EF}$, $\overline{EH}$, and $\overline{EC}$, respectively, so that $EI=EJ=EK=2$. A solid $S$ is obtained by drilling a tunnel through the cube. The sides of the tunnel are planes parallel to $\overline{AE}$, and containing the edges, $\overline{IJ}$, $\overline{JK}$, and $\overline{KI}$. The surface area of $S$, including the walls of the tunnel, is $m+n\sqrt{p}$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are positive integers and $p$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+p$.
Some edges are painted in red. We say that a coloring of this kind is [i]good[/i], if for each vertex of the polyhedron, there exists an edge which concurs in that vertex and is not painted red. Moreover, we say that a coloring where some of the edges of a regular polyhedron is [i]completely good[/i], if in addition to being [i]good[/i], no face of the polyhedron has all its edges painted red. What regular polyhedrons is equal the maximum number of edges that can be painted in a [i]good[/i] color and a [i]completely good[/i]? Explain your answer.
