Find all positive integers $k$ for which number $3^k+5^k$ is a power of some integer with exponent greater than $1$.
Does there exist a regular pentagon whose vertices lie on the edges of a cube?
Given $ \triangle{ABC}$, where $ A$ is at $ (0,0)$, $ B$ is at $ (20,0)$, and $ C$ is on the positive $ y$-axis. Cone $ M$ is formed when $ \triangle{ABC}$ is rotated about the $ x$-axis, and cone $ N$ is formed when $ \triangle{ABC}$ is rotated about the $ y$-axis. If the volume of cone $ M$ minus the volume of cone $ N$ is $ 140\pi$, find the length of $ \overline{BC}$.
In a right circular cone of wood, the radius of the circumference $T$ of the base circle measures $10$ cm, while every point on said circumference is $20$ cm away. from the apex of the cone. A red ant and a termite are located at antipodal points of $T$. A black ant is located at the midpoint of the segment that joins the vertex with the position of the termite. If the red ant moves to the black ant's position by the shortest possible path, how far does it travel?
In the Euclidean three-dimensional space, we call [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ every partition of $S \setminus \{x,y\}$ into disjoint circles, where $x$ and $y$ are two points of $S$. A folding of $S$ is called [b]linear[/b] if the circles of the [i]folding[/i] are obtained by the intersection of $S$ with a family of parallel planes or with a family of planes containing a straight line $D$ exterior to $S$. Is every [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ [b]linear[/b]?
A plane intersects a rectangular parallelepiped in a regular hexagon. Prove that the rectangular parallelepiped is a cube.
Every vertex of a convex polyhedron belongs to three edges. It is possible to circumscribe a circle around all its faces. Prove that the polyhedron can be inscribed in a sphere.
The inscribed sphere of a given tetrahedron touches all four faces of the tetrahedron at their respective centroids. Prove that the tetrahedron is regular.
Find all the positive integers less than 1000 such that the cube of the sum of its digits is equal to the square of such integer.
A wooden cube, whose edges are one centimeter long, rests on a horizontal surface. Illuminated by a point source of light that is $x$ centimeters directly above an upper vertex, the cube casts a shadow on the horizontal surface. The area of the shadow, which does not inclued the area beneath the cube is 48 square centimeters. Find the greatest integer that does not exceed $1000x.$

A rectangular box $ P$ is inscribed in a sphere of radius $ r$. The surface area of $ P$ is 384, and the sum of the lengths of its 12 edges is 112. What is $ r$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 8 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 10 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 12 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 14 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 16$
This requires some imagination and creative thinking: Prove or disprove: There exists a solid such that, for all positive integers $n$ with $n \geq 3$, there exists a "parallel projection" (I hope the terminology is clear) such that the image of the solid under this projection is a convex $n$-gon.
Let $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ be four points in space not all lying on the same plane. The segments $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, and $DA$ are tangent to the same sphere. Prove that their four points of tangency are coplanar.
Let $AP,BQ$ and $CR$ be altitudes of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$. Show that for any point $X$ inside the triangle $PQR$ there exists a tetrahedron $ABCD$ such that $X$ is the point on the face $ABC$ at the greatest distance from $D$ (measured along the surface of the tetrahedron).
In $\mathbb{R}^3$ some $n$ points are coloured. In every step, if four coloured points lie on the same line, Vojtěch can colour any other point on this line. He observes that he can colour any point $P \in \mathbb{R}^3$ in a finite number of steps (possibly depending on $P$). Find the minimal value of $n$ for which this could happen.
A cube with sides 1m in length is filled with water, and has a tiny hole through which the water drains into a cylinder of radius $1\text{ m}$. If the water level in the cube is falling at a rate of $1 \text{ cm/s}$, at what rate is the water level in the cylinder rising?
Let $x$ be a positive real number. Define \[ A = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{3k}}{(3k)!}, \quad B = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{3k+1}}{(3k+1)!}, \quad\text{and}\quad C = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{3k+2}}{(3k+2)!}. \] Given that $A^3+B^3+C^3 + 8ABC = 2014$, compute $ABC$.

Given a tetrahedron $ABCD$, in which $AB=CD= 13 , AC=BD=14$ and $AD=BC=15$. Show that the centers of the inscribed sphere and sphere around it coincide, and find the radii of these spheres.
In a dihedral angle of measure $c$ two non-intersecting spheres are inscribed, the centers of which are located on a straight line perpendicular to the edge of the dihedral angle. The points of contact of these spheres with the edges of the corner are at distances $a$ and $b$ from the edge. Let us consider an arbitrary plane tangent to these spheres and intersecting the segment connecting their centers. Let us denote by $\phi$ the measure of the angle formed at the intersection of this plane with the faces of a given dihedral angle. Find the greatest value $\phi$.
A polyhedron $W$ has the following properties: (i) It possesses a center of symmetry. (ii) The section of $W$ by a plane passing through the center of symmetry and one of its edges is always a parallelogram. (iii) There is a vertex of $W$ at which exactly three edges meet. Prove that $W$ is a parallelepiped.
Given a triangular pyramid in which all the plane angles at one of the vertices are right. It is known that there is a point in space located at a distance of $3$ from the indicated vertex and at distances $\sqrt5, \sqrt6, \sqrt7$ from three other vertices. Find the radius of the sphere circumscribed around this pyramid. (The circumscribed sphere for a pyramid is the sphere containing all its vertices.)
A pentagon $ABCDE$ inscribed in a circle for which $BC<CD$ and $AB<DE$ is the base of a pyramid with vertex $S$. If $AS$ is the longest edge starting from $S$, prove that $BS>CS$.

Each point of the sphere of radius $r\ge 1$ is colored in one of $n$ colors ($n \ge 2$), and for each color there is a point on the sphere colored in this color. Prove that there are points $A_i$, $B_i$, $i= 1, ..., n$ on the sphere such that the colors of the points $A_1, ..., A_n$ are pairwise different and the color of the point $B_i$ at a distance of $1$ from $A_i$ is different from the color of the point $A_1, i= 1, ..., n$
