Let $ABCDS$ be a (not neccessarily straight) pyramid with a rectangular base $ABCD$ and acute triangular faces $ABS,BCS,CDS,DAS$. We consider all cuboids which are inscribed inside the pyramid with its base being in the plane $ABCD$ and its upper vertexes are in the triangular faces (one in each). Find the locus of the midpoints of these cuboids.

On a rectangular board with $m \times n$ squares ($m, n \ge 3$) there are dominoes ($2 \times 1$ or $1\times 2$ tiles), which do not overlap and do not extend beyond the board. Every domino covers exactly two squares of the board. Assume that the dominos cover the has the property that no more dominos can be added to the board and that the four corner spaces of the board are not all empty. Prove that at least $2/3$ of the squares of the board are covered with dominos.

A [u]positive sequence[/u] is a finite sequence of positive integers. [u]Sum of a sequence[/u] is the sum of all the elements in the sequence. We say that a sequence $A$ can be [u]embedded[/u] into another sequence $B$, if there exists a strictly increasing function $$\phi : \{1,2, \ldots, |A|\} \rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots, |B|\},$$ such that $\forall i \in \{1, 2, \ldots ,|A|\}$, $$A[i] \leq B[\phi(i)],$$ where $|S|$ denotes the length of a sequence $S$. For example, $(1,1,2)$ can be embedded in $(1,2,3)$, but $(3,2,1)$ can not be in $(1,2,3)$\\ Given a positive integer $n$, construct a positive sequence $U$ with sum $O(n \, \log \, n)$, such that all the positive sequences with sum $n$, can be embedded into $U$.\\
