The following operation is performed over points $O_1, O_2, O_3$ and $A$ in space. The point $A$ is reflected with respect to $O_1$, the resultant point $A_1$ is reflected through $O_2$, and the resultant point $A_2$ through $O_3$. We get some point $A_3$ that we will also consecutively reflect through $O_1, O_2, O_3$. Prove that the point obtained last coincides with $A$..

Let $D$ be a dodecahedron which can be inscribed in a sphere with radius $R$. Let $I$ be an icosahedron which can also be inscribed in a sphere of radius $R$. Which has the greater volume, and why? Note: A regular [i]polyhedron [/i] is a geometric solid, all of whose faces are congruent regular polygons, in which the same number of polygons meet at each vertex. A regular dodecahedron is a polyhedron with $12$ faces which are regular pentagons and a regular icosahedron is a polyhedron with $20$ faces which are equilateral triangles. A polyhedron is inscribed in a sphere if all of its vertices lie on the surface of the sphere. The illustration below shows a dodecahdron and an icosahedron, not necessarily to scale.

Suppose you have $27$ identical unit cubes colored such that $3$ faces adjacent to a vertex are red and the other $3$ are colored blue. Suppose further that you assemble these $27$ cubes randomly into a larger cube with $3$ cubes to an edge (in particular, the orientation of each cube is random). The probability that the entire cube is one solid color can be written as $\frac{1}{2^n}$ for some positive integer $n$. Find $n$.

In a circular tower with an internal diameter of $ 2$ m, there is a spiral staircase with a height of $ 6$ m. The height of each stair step is $ 0.15$ m. In the horizontal projection, the steps form adjacent circular sections with an angle of $ 18^\circ $. The narrower ends of the steps are mounted in a round pillar with a diameter of $ 0.64$ m, the axis of which coincides with the axis of the tower. Calculate the greatest length of a straight rod that can be moved up these stairs from the bottom to the top (do not take into account the thickness of the rod or the thickness of the boards from which the stairs are made).
