Suppose we climb a mountain that is a cone with radius $100$ and height $4$. We start at the bottom of the mountain (on the perimeter of the base of the cone), and our destination is the opposite side of the mountain, halfway up (height $z = 2$). Our climbing speed starts at $v_0=2$ but gets slower at a rate inversely proportional to the distance to the mountain top (so at height $z$ the speed $v$ is $(h-z)v_0/h$). Find the minimum time needed to get to the destination.

Renata the robot packs boxes in a warehouse. Each box is a cube of side length $1$ foot. The warehouse floor is a square, $12$ feet on each side, and is divided into a $12$-by-$12$ grid of square tiles $1$ foot on a side. Each tile can either support one box or be empty. The warehouse has exactly one door, which opens onto one of the corner tiles. Renata fits on a tile and can roll between tiles that share a side. To access a box, Renata must be able to roll along a path of empty tiles starting at the door and ending at a tile sharing a side with that box.

There is an infinitely tall tetrahedral stack of spheres where each row of the tetrahedron consists of a triangular arrangement of spheres, as shown below. There is $1$ sphere in the top row (which we will call row $0$), $3$ spheres in row $1$, $6$ spheres in row $2$, $10$ spheres in row $3$, etc. The top-most sphere in row $0$ is assigned the number $1$.
