Twenty seven unit cubes are painted orange on a set of four faces so that two non-painted faces share an edge. The $27$ cubes are randomly arranged to form a $3\times 3 \times 3$ cube. Given the probability of the entire surface area of the larger cube is orange is $\frac{p^a}{q^br^c},$ where $p$,$q$, and $r$ are distinct primes and $a$,$b$, and $c$ are positive integers, find $a+b+c+p+q+r$.

A cube side 3 is divided into 27 unit cubes. The unit cubes are arbitrarily labeled 1 to 27 (each cube is given a different number). A move consists of swapping the cube labeled 27 with one of its 6 neighbours. Is it possible to find a finite sequence of moves at the end of which cube 27 is in its original position, but cube $n$ has moved to the position originally occupied by $27-n$ (for each $n = 1, 2, \ldots , 26$)?

The icosahedron is a convex, regular polyhedron consisting of $20$ equilateral triangle for faces. A particular icosahedron given to you has labels on each of its vertices, edges, and faces. Each minute, you uniformly at random pick one of the labels on the icosahedron. If the label is on a vertex, you remove it. If the label is on an edge, you delete the label on the edge along with any labels still on the vertices of that edge. If the label is on a face, you delete the label on the face along with any labels on the edges and vertices which make up that face. What is the expected number of minutes that pass before you have removed all labels from the icosahedron?
