There are $27$ boxes located in a row; each contains at least $12$ marbles. The allowed operation is transfer a ball from a box to its neighbor on the right, as long as said neighbor contains more pellets than the box from which the transfer will be made. We will say that a distribution initial of the balls is [i]happy [/i] if it is possible to achieve, by means of a succession of permitted operations, that all the balls are in the same box. Determine what is the smallest total number of marbles with the that you can have a happy initial layout.

Let $ ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length 2, and let $ \Gamma$ be a circle with radius $ \frac {1}{2}$ centered at the center of the equilateral triangle. Determine the length of the shortest path that starts somewhere on $ \Gamma$, visits all three sides of $ ABC$, and ends somewhere on $ \Gamma$ (not necessarily at the starting point). Express your answer in the form of $ \sqrt p \minus{} q$, where $ p$ and $ q$ are rational numbers written as reduced fractions.

In the tetrahedron $SABC $ at the height $SH$ the following point $O$ is chosen, such that: $$\angle AOS + \alpha = \angle BOS + \beta = \angle COS + \gamma = 180^o, $$ where $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are dihedral angles at the edges $BC, AC, AB $, respectively, at this point $H$ lies inside the base $ABC$. Let ${{A} _ {1}}, \, {{B} _ {1}}, \, {{C} _ {1}} $be the points of intersection of lines and planes: ${{A} _ {1}} = AO \cap SBC $, ${{B} _ {1}} = BO \cap SAC $, ${{C} _ {1}} = CO \cap SBA$ . Prove that if the planes $ABC $ and ${{A} _ {1}} {{B} _ {1}} {{C} _ {1}} $ are parallel, then $SA = SB = SC $.

Ashwin the frog is traveling on the $xy$-plane in a series of $2^{2017} -1$ steps, starting at the origin. At the $n^{th}$ step, if $n$ is odd, then Ashwin jumps one unit to the right. If $n$ is even, then Ashwin jumps $m$ units up, where $m$ is the greatest integer such that $2^m$ divides $n$. If Ashwin begins at the origin, what is the area of the polygon bounded by Ashwin’s path, the line $x = 2^{2016}$, and the $x$-axis?

Alice and Bob play a game involving a circle whose circumference is divided by 12 equally-spaced points. The points are numbered clockwise, from 1 to 12. Both start on point 12. Alice moves clockwise and Bob, counterclockwise.
In a turn of the game, Alice moves 5 points clockwise and Bob moves 9 points counterclockwise. The game ends when they stop on the same point. How many turns will this take?
