A container the shape of a pyramid has a 12 × 12 square base, and the other four edges each have length 11. The container is partially filled with liquid so that when one of its triangular faces is lying on a flat surface, the level of the liquid is half the distance from the surface to the top edge of the container. Find the volume of the liquid in the container.

Let $A=\{1, 3, 5, 7, 9\}$ and $B=\{2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}$. Let $f$ be a randomly chosen function from the set $A\cup B$ into itself. There are relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$ such that $\frac{m}{n}$ is the probablity that $f$ is a one-to-one function on $A\cup B$ given that it maps $A$ one-to-one into $A\cup B$ and it maps $B$ one-to-one into $A\cup B$. Find $m+n$.

Originally, every square of $8 \times 8$ chessboard contains a rook. One by one, rooks which attack an odd number of others are removed. Find the maximal number of rooks that can be removed. (A rook attacks another rook if they are on the same row or column and there are no other rooks between them.)

Let $Q$ be a unit square in the plane: $Q = [0, 1] \times [0, 1]$. Let $T :Q \longrightarrow Q$ be defined as follows:
\[T(x, y) =\begin{cases} (2x, \frac{y}{2}) &\mbox{ if } 0 \le x \le \frac{1}{2};\\(2x - 1, \frac{y}{2}+ \frac{1}{2})&\mbox{ if } \frac{1}{2} < x \le 1.\end{cases}\]

Let $n$ be a positive integer. There is a board of $(n + 1) \times (n + 1)$ whose squares are numbered in a diagonal pattern, as as the picture shows. Chepito starts from the lower left square, and moving only up or to the right until he reaches the upper right box. During his tour, Chepito writes down the number of each box on the which made a change of direction, and in the end calculates the sum of all the numbers entered. Determine the maximum value of this sum.

We say that a number is [i]angelic[/i] if it is greater than $10^{100}$ and all of its digits are elements of $\{1,3,5,7,8\}$. Suppose $P$ is a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients such that over all positive integers $n$, if $n$ is angelic, then the decimal representation of $P(s(n))$ contains the decimal representation of $s(P(n))$ as a contiguous substring, where $s(n)$ denotes the sum of digits of $n$.
Prove that $P$ is linear and its leading coefficient is $1$ or a power of $10$.
