A bug is walking on the surface of a Rubik's cube(cube $3 \times 3 \times 3$). It can go to the adjacent cell on the same face or on the adjacent face. One day the bug started walking from some cell and returned to it, and visited all other cells exactly once. Prove that he made an even amount of moves that changed the face he is on.

A parallelepiped is said to be [i]integer [/i] when at least one of its edges measures a integer number of units. We have a group of integer parallelepipeds with which a larger parallelepiped is assembled, which has no holes inside or on its edge. Prove that the assembled parallelepiped is also integer. Example. The following figure shows an assembled parallelepiped with a certain group of integer parallelepipeds.

Tetrahedron $ABCD$ has sides of lengths, in increasing order, $7, 13, 18, 27, 36, 41$. If $AB=41$, then what is the length of $CD$?

A container is shaped like a square-based pyramid where the base has side length $23$ centimeters and the height is $120$ centimeters. The container is open at the base of the pyramid and stands in an open field with its vertex pointing down. One afternoon $5$ centimeters of rain falls in the open field partially filling the previously empty container. Find the depth in centimeters of the rainwater in the bottom of the container after the rain.

A right circular cone has base radius $ r$ and height $ h$. The cone lies on its side on a flat table. As the cone rolls on the surface of the table without slipping, the point where the cone's base meets the table traces a circular arc centered at the point where the vertex touches the table. The cone first returns to its original position on the table after making $ 17$ complete rotations. The value of $ h/r$ can be written in the form $ m\sqrt {n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers and $ n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.

Recall that a plane divides $\mathbb{R}^3$ into two regions, two parallel planes divide it into three regions, and two intersecting planes divide space into four regions. Consider the six planes which the faces of the cube $ABCD-A_1B_1C_1D_1$ lie on, and the four planes that the tetrahedron $ACB_1D_1$ lie on. How many regions do these ten planes split the space into?

For each $D_{i}$, let $x_{i} , y_{i} , z_{i}$ be the lengths of its projections onto the $x, y, z$ axes, respectively. Suppose that for all pairs $D_{i}$ , $D_{j}$, if at least one of $x_{i} < x_{j}$ , $y_{i} < y_{j}$, $z_{i} < z_{j}$ holds, then $x_{i} \leq x_{j}$ , $y_{i} \leq y_{j}$, and $z_{i} < z_{j}$ .

You want to paint some edges of a regular dodecahedron red so that each face has an even number of painted edges (which can be zero). Determine from How many ways this coloration can be done. Note: A regular dodecahedron has twelve pentagonal faces and in each vertex concur three edges. The edges of the dodecahedron are all different for the purpose of the coloring . In this way, two colorings are the same only if the painted edges they are the same.

Let $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ be a tetrahedron. We construct four mutually tangent spheres $S_1,S_2,S_3,S_4$ with centers $A_1,A_2,A_3,A_4$ respectively. Suppose that there exists a point $Q$ such that we can construct two spheres centered at $Q$ satisfying the following conditions: i) One sphere with radius $r$ is tangent to $S_1,S_2,S_3,S_4$; ii) One sphere with radius $R$ is tangent to every edges of tetrahedron $A_1A_2A_3A_4$. Prove that $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ is a regular tetrahedron.
