Prove that if all faces of a parallelepiped are equal parallelograms, they are rhombuses.
A spider and a fly are sitting on a cube. The fly wants to maximize the shortest path to the spider along the surface of the cube. Is it necessarily best for the fly to be at the point opposite to the spider?
(“Opposite” means “symmetric with respect to the centre of the cube”.)

To each vertex of a given triangulation of the two-dimensional sphere, we assign a convex subset of the plane. Assume that the three convex sets corresponding to the three vertices of any two-dimensional face of the triangulation have at least one point in common. Show that there exist four vertices such that the corresponding convex sets have at least one point in common.

We shall call a point $N$ in space [i]Serve point[/i], if it's six projection points on the six edges of the tetrahedron lie on one plane.
