G. H. Hardy once went to visit Srinivasa Ramanujan in the hospital, and he started the conversation with: “I came here in taxi-cab number $1729$. That number seems dull to me, which I hope isn’t a bad omen.” “Nonsense,” said Ramanujan. “The number isn’t dull at all. It’s quite interesting. It’s the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.” Ramujan had immediately seen that $1729=12^3+1^3=10^3+9^3$. What is the smallest positive integer representable as the sum of the cubes of [i]three[/i] positive integers in two different ways?

The figure shows a glass prism which is partially filled with liquid. The surface of the prism consists of two isosceles right triangles, two squares with side length $10$ cm and a rectangle. The prism can lie in three different ways. If the prism lies as shown in figure $1$, the height of the liquid is $5$ cm.

While Theophrastus was talking to Aristotle about the classification of plants, had a dog tied to a perfectly smooth cylindrical column of radius $r$, with a very fine rope that wrapped around the column and with a loop. The dog had the extreme free from the rope around his neck. In trying to reach Theophrastus, he put the rope tight and it broke. Find out how far from the column the knot was in the time to break the rope.

Averiguar a qu´e distancia de la columna estaba el nudo en el momento de romperse la cuerda.[/hide]

With $150$ white cubes of $1 \times 1 \times 1$ a prism of $6 \times 5 \times 5$ is assembled, its six faces are painted blue and then the prism is disassembled. Lucrecia must build a new prism, without holes, exclusively using cubes that have at least one blue face and so that the faces of Lucrecia's prism are all completely blue.
Give the dimensions of the prism with the largest volume that Lucrecia can assemble.

A cylindrical container of revolution is partially filled with a liquid whose density we ignore. Placing it with the axis inclined $30^o$ with respect to the vertical, we observe that when removing liquid so that the level falls $1$ cm, the weight of the contents decreases $40$ g. How much will the weight of that content decrease for each centimeter that lower the level if the axis makes an angle of $45^o$ with the vertical? It is supposed that the horizontal surface of the liquid does not touch any of the bases of the container.
