We call a positive integer $n$ $\textit{sixish}$ if $n=p(p+6)$, where $p$ and $p+6$ are prime numbers. For example, $187=11\cdot17$ is sixish, but $475=19\cdot25$ is not sixish. Define a function $f$ on the positive integers such that $f(n)$ is the sum of the squares of the positive divisors of $n$. For example, $f(10)=1^2+2^2+5^2+10^2=130$.
(a) Find, with proof, an irreducible polynomial function $g(x)$ with integer coefficients such that $f(n)=g(n)$ for all sixish $n$. ("Irreducible" means that $g(x)$ cannot be factored as the product of two polynomials of smaller degree with integer coefficients.)
(b) We call a positive integer $n$ $\textit{pseudo-sixish}$ if $n$ is not sixish but nonetheless $f(n)=g(n)$, where $g(n)$ is the polynomial function that you found in part (a). Find, with proof, all pseudo-sixish positive integers.

Karlson and Smidge divide a cake in a shape of a square in the following way. First, Karlson places a candle on the cake (chooses some interior point). Then Smidge makes a straight cut from the candle to the boundary in the direction of his choice. Then Karlson makes a straight cut from the candle to the boundary in the direction perpendicular to Smidge's cut. As a result, the cake is split into two pieces; Smidge gets the smaller one. Smidge wants to get a piece which is no less than a quarter of the cake. Can Karlson prevent Smidge from getting the piece of that size?
