Equilateral $\triangle ABC$ has side length $600$. Points $P$ and $Q$ lie outside of the plane of $\triangle ABC$ and are on the opposite sides of the plane. Furthermore, $PA=PB=PC$, and $QA=QB=QC$, and the planes of $\triangle PAB$ and $\triangle QAB$ form a $120^{\circ}$ dihedral angle (The angle between the two planes). There is a point $O$ whose distance from each of $A,B,C,P$ and $Q$ is $d$. Find $d$.

Let $H$ be the unit hemisphere $\{(x,y,z):x^2+y^2+z^2=1,z\geq 0\}$, $C$ the unit circle $\{(x,y,0):x^2+y^2=1\}$, and $P$ the regular pentagon inscribed in $C$. Determine the surface area of that portion of $H$ lying over the planar region inside $P$, and write your answer in the form $A \sin\alpha + B \cos\beta$, where $A,B,\alpha,\beta$ are real numbers.

The image above is a net of a unit cube. Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $2n$ such cubes are placed to build a $1 \times 2 \times n$ cuboid which is placed on a floor. Let $S$ be the sum of all numbers on the block visible (not facing the floor). Find the minimum value of $n$ such that there exists such cuboid and its placement on the floor so $S > 2011$.

Consider a polyhedron with at least five faces such that exactly three edges emerge from each of its vertices. Two players play the following game: Each, in turn, signs his or her name on a previously unsigned face. The winner is the player who first succeeds in signing three faces that share a common vertex. Show that the player who signs first will always win by playing as well as possible.

Legs $L_1, L_2, L_3, L_4$ of a square table each have length $n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. For how many ordered 4-tuples $(k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4)$ of nonnegative integers can we cut a piece of length $k_i$ from the end of leg $L_i \; (i=1,2,3,4)$ and still have a stable table?
