Three 12 cm $\times$ 12 cm squares are each cut into two pieces $A$ and $B$, as shown in the first figure below, by joining the midpoints of two adjacent sides. These six pieces are then attached to a regular hexagon, as shown in the second figure, so as to fold into a polyhedron. What is the volume (in $\text{cm}^3$) of this polyhedron?

Let $ P$ be a point inside a regular tetrahedron $ T$ of unit volume. The four planes passing through $ P$ and parallel to the faces of $ T$ partition $ T$ into 14 pieces. Let $ f(P)$ be the joint volume of those pieces that are neither a tetrahedron nor a parallelepiped (i.e., pieces adjacent to an edge but not to a vertex). Find the exact bounds for $ f(P)$ as $ P$ varies over $ T.$
A lampshade is made in the form of the lateral surface of the frustum of a right circular cone. The height of the frustum is $3\sqrt{3}$ inches, its top diameter is 6 inches, and its bottom diameter is 12 inches. A bug is at the bottom of the lampshade and there is a glob of honey on the top edge of the lampshade at the spot farthest from the bug. The bug wants to crawl to the honey, but it must stay on the surface of the lampshade. What is the length in inches of its shortest path to the honey?

The period of a given pendulum on a planet of radius $R$ is constant (unchanged) as we go from the surface of the planet down to radius $a$, where $R > a$. The planet has mass density evenly distributed at any radius $ r < a $. This density is $\rho_0$. Find the total mass of the planet. Express your answer in terms of $\rho_0$, $a$, $R$, the period of the pendulum, $T$, the length of the pendulum string, $L$, and other constants, as necessary.

Eight spheres of radius 100 are placed on a flat surface so that each sphere is tangent to two others and their centers are the vertices of a regular octagon. A ninth sphere is placed on the flat surface so that it is tangent to each of the other eight spheres. The radius of this last sphere is $a+b\sqrt{c},$ where $a, b,$ and $c$ are positive integers, and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c.$

A cube has edges of length $120\text{ cm}$. The cube gets chopped up into some number of smaller cubes, all of equal size, such that each edge of one of the smaller cubes has an integer length. One of those smaller cubes is then chopped up into some number of $\textit{even smaller}$ cubes, all of equal size. If the edge length of one of those $\textit{even smaller}$ cubes is $n\text{ cm}$, where $n$ is an integer, find the number of possible values of $n$.

Let be given a semi-sphere $\Sigma$ whose base-circle lies on plane $p$. A variable plane $Q$, parallel to a fixed plane non-perpendicular to $P$, cuts $\Sigma$ at a circle $C$. We denote by $C'$ the orthogonal projection of $C$ onto $P$. Find the position of $Q$ for which the cylinder with bases $C$ and $C'$ has the maximum volume.
