In a $7\times 7\times 7$ cube, the unit cubes are colored white, black and gray colors so that for any two colors the number of cubes of these two colors are different. In this case, $N$ parallel rows of $7$ cubes were found, each of which there are more white cubes than gray and than black. Likewise, there were $N$ parallel rows of $7$ cubes, each of which contained gray there are more cubes than white and than black, and there are also N parallel rows of $7$ cubes, each of which contains more black cubes than white ones and than gray ones. What is the largest $N$ for which this is possible?
Determine all pairs $(m, n)$ of positive integers, for which cube $K$ with edges of length $n$, can be build in with cuboids of shape $m \times 1 \times 1$ to create cube with edges of length $n + 2$, which has the same center as cube $K$.
The $100$ vertices of a prism, whose base is a $50$-gon, are labeled with numbers $1, 2, 3, \ldots, 100$ in any order. Prove that there are two vertices, which are connected by an edge of the prism, with labels differing by not more than $48$. Note: In all the triangles the three vertices do not lie on a straight line.
Each face of a cube is painted with a different color. How many distinct cubes can be created this way? (*Observation: The ways to color the cube are $6!$, since each time a color is used on one face, there is one fewer available for the others. However, this does not determine $6!$ different cubes, since colorings that differ only by rotation should be considered the same.*)
Determine the lengths of the edges of a right tetrahedron of volume $a^3$ so that the sum of its edges' lengths is minumum.
Lines that are drawn perpendicular to the faces of a triangular pyramid through the centers of the inscribed circles intersect at one point. Prove that the sums of the opposite edges of such a pyramid are equal to each other.

The polygon enclosed by the solid lines in the figure consists of $ 4$ congruent squares joined edge-to-edge. One more congruent square is attached to an edge at one of the nine positions indicated.

A right circular cone and a right cylinder with same height $20$ does not have same circular base but the circles are coplanar and their centers are same. If the cone and the cylinder are at the same side of the plane and their base radii are $20$ and $10$, respectively, what is the ratio of the volume of the part of the cone inside the cylinder over the volume of the part of the cone outside the cylinder? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 3 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{5}{3} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{4}{3} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 1 $
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?
How many different ways are there to paint the sides of a tetrahedron with exactly $4$ colors? Each side gets its own color, and two colorings are the same if one can be rotated to get the other.
