If there is a point on each ball which is $5$ inches from each wall which that ball touches and $10$ inches from the floor, then the sum of the diameters of the balls is
$\textbf{(A) }20\text{ inches}\qquad\textbf{(B) }30\text{ inches}\qquad\textbf{(C) }40\text{ inches}\qquad$

Assume that the bisecting plane of the dihedral angle at edge $AB$ of the tetrahedron $ABCD$ meets the edge $CD$ at point $E$. Denote by $S_1, S_2, S_3$, respectively the areas of the triangles $ABC, ABE$, and $ABD$. Prove that no tetrahedron exists for which $S_1, S_2, S_3$ (in this order) form an arithmetic or geometric progression.

A square is called [i]proper[/i] if its sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. Point $P$ is randomly selected inside a proper square $S$ with side length 2012. Denote by $T$ the largest proper square that lies within $S$ and has $P$ on its perimeter, and denote by $a$ the expected value of the side length of $T$. Compute $\lfloor a \rfloor$, the greatest integer less than or equal to $a$.

We are given $n$ mass points of equal mass in space. We define a sequence of points $O_1,O_2,O_3,\ldots $ as follows: $O_1$ is an arbitrary point (within the unit distance of at least one of the $n$ points); $O_2$ is the centre of gravity of all the $n$ given points that are inside the unit sphere centred at $O_1$;$O_3$ is the centre of gravity of all of the $n$ given points that are inside the unit sphere centred at $O_2$; etc. Prove that starting from some $m$, all points $O_m,O_{m+1},O_{m+2},\ldots$ coincide.

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.*)
