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 $n = 1, 2, \ldots , 26$)?

Maryam labels each vertex of a tetrahedron with the sum of the lengths of the three edges meeting at that vertex.
She then observes that the labels at the four vertices of the tetrahedron are all equal. For each vertex of the tetrahedron, prove that the lengths of the three edges meeting at that vertex are the three side lengths of a triangle.
Let $ f$ be a real-valued function on the plane such that for every square $ ABCD$ in the plane, $ f(A)\plus{}f(B)\plus{}f(C)\plus{}f(D)\equal{}0.$ Does it follow that $ f(P)\equal{}0$ for all points $ P$ in the plane?
Prove that, for any integers $a,b,c$, there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $\sqrt{n^3+an^2+bn+c}$ is not an integer.
Prove that for each tetrahedron, the three products of pairs of opposite edges are sides of a triangle.
On each side of a regular tetrahedron with edges of length $1$ one constructs exactly such a tetrahedron. This creates a dodecahedron with $8$ vertices and $18$ edges. We imagine that the dodecahedron is hollow. Calculate the length of the largest line segment that fits entirely within this dodecahedron.
Point $A$ and segment $BC$ are given. Determine the locus of points in space which are vertices of right angles with one side passing through $A$, and the other side intersecting segment $BC$.
Find an infinite non-constant arithmetic progression of natural numbers such that each term is neither a sum of two squares, nor a sum of two cubes (of natural numbers).
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.
Prove that for any tetrahedron in space, it is possible to find two perpendicular planes such that ratio between the projections of the tetrahedron on the two planes lies in the interval $[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \sqrt{2}].$
A regular triangular prism has the altitude $h,$ and the two bases of the prism are equilateral triangles with side length $a.$ Dream-holes are made in the centers of both bases, and the three lateral faces are mirrors. Assume that a ray of light, entering the prism through the dream-hole in the upper base, then being reflected once by any of the three mirrors, quits the prism through the dream-hole in the lower base. Find the angle between the upper base and the light ray at the moment when the light ray entered the prism, and the length of the way of the light ray in the interior of the prism.

There are $n$ distinct lines in three-dimensional space such that no two lines are parallel and no three lines meet at one point. What is the maximal possible number of planes determined by these $n$ lines?
We say that a plane is determined if it contains at least two of the lines.
Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle. Construct three semi-circles, each having a different side of ABC as diameter, and outside $ABC$. The perpendiculars dropped from $A,B,C$ to the opposite sides intersect these semi-circles in points $E,F,G$, respectively. Prove that the hexagon $AGBECF$ can be folded so as to form a pyramid having $ABC$ as base.
