The bases of a right hexagonal prism are regular hexagons of side length $s > 0$, and the prism has height $h$. The prism contains some water, and when it is placed on a flat surface with a hexagonal face on the bottom, the water has depth $\frac{s\sqrt3}{4}$. The water depth doesn’t change when the prism is turned so that a rectangular face is on the bottom. Compute $\frac{h}{s}$.
Let $ABCDEF$ be a regular hexagon with side length $a$. At point $A$, the perpendicular $AS$, with length $2a\sqrt{3}$, is erected on the hexagon's plane. The points $M, N, P, Q,$ and $R$ are the projections of point $A$ on the lines $SB, SC, SD, SE,$ and $SF$, respectively.

Suppose we have an (infinite) cone $ \mathcal C$ with apex $ A$ and a plane $ \pi$. The intersection of $ \pi$ and $ \mathcal C$ is an ellipse $ \mathcal E$ with major axis $ BC$, such that $ B$ is closer to $ A$ than $ C$, and $ BC \equal{} 4$, $ AC \equal{} 5$, $ AB \equal{} 3$. Suppose we inscribe a sphere in each part of $ \mathcal C$ cut up by $ \mathcal E$ with both spheres tangent to $ \mathcal E$. What is the ratio of the radii of the spheres (smaller to larger)?
Inside the convex polyhedron, the point $P$ and several lines $\ell_1,\ell_2, ..., \ell_n$ passing through $P$ and not lying in the same plane. To each face of the polyhedron we associate one of the lines $l_1, l_2, ..., l_n$ that forms the largest angle with the plane of this face (if there are there are several direct ones, we will choose any of them). Prove that there is a face that intersects with its corresponding line.

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.

A cube-shaped container has vertices $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ where $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CD}$ are parallel edges of the cube, and $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BD}$ are diagonals of the faces of the cube. Vertex $A$ of the cube is set on a horizontal plane $\mathcal P$ so that the plane of the rectangle $ABCD$ is perpendicular to $\mathcal P$, vertex $B$ is $2$ meters above $\mathcal P$, vertex $C$ is $8$ meters above $\mathcal P$, and vertex $D$ is $10$ meters above $\mathcal P$.

The numbers $\frac{1}{1}, \frac{1}{2}, \cdots , \frac{1}{2012}$ are written on the blackboard. Aïcha chooses any two numbers from the blackboard, say $x$ and $y$, erases them and she writes instead the number $x + y + xy$. She continues to do this until only one number is left on the board. What are the possible values of the final number?

A cube with edge length $3$ is divided into $27$ unit cubes. The numbers $1, 2,\ldots ,27$ are distributed arbitrarily over the unit cubes, with one number in each cube. We form the $27$ possible row sums (there are nine such sums of three integers for each of the three directions parallel with the edges of the cube). At most how many of the $27$ row sums can be odd?
Positive integers are written on all the faces of a cube, one on each. At each corner of the cube, the product of the numbers on the faces that meet at the vertex is written.

There are $100$ boxes, each containing either a red cube or a blue cube. Alex has a sum of money initially, and places bets on the colour of the cube in each box in turn. The bet can be anywhere from $0$ up to everything he has at the time. After the bet has been placed, the box is opened. If Alex loses, his bet will be taken away. If he wins, he will get his bet back, plus a sum equal to the bet. Then he moves onto the next box, until he has bet on the last one, or until he runs out of money. What is the maximum factor by which he can guarantee to increase his amount of money, if he knows that the exact number of blue cubes is
