Cerena, Faith, Edna, and Veronica each have a cube. Aarnő knows that the side lengths of each of their cubes are distinct integers greater than $1$, and he is trying to guess their exact values. Each girl fully paints the surface of her cube in Carolina blue before splitting the entire cube into $1\times1\times1$ cubes. Then, [list=disc] [*] Cerena reveals how many of her $1\times1\times1$ cubes have exactly $0$ blue faces. [*] Faith reveals how many of her $1\times1\times1$ cubes have exactly $1$ blue faces. [*] Edna reveals how many of her $1\times1\times1$ cubes have exactly $2$ blue faces. [*] Veronica reveals how many of her $1\times1\times1$ cubes have exactly $3$ blue faces. [/list] Whose side lengths can Aarnő deduce from these statements? [i]Jason Lee[/i]

A [i]snake of length $k$[/i] is an animal which occupies an ordered $k$-tuple $(s_1, \dots, s_k)$ of cells in a $n \times n$ grid of square unit cells. These cells must be pairwise distinct, and $s_i$ and $s_{i+1}$ must share a side for $i = 1, \dots, k-1$. If the snake is currently occupying $(s_1, \dots, s_k)$ and $s$ is an unoccupied cell sharing a side with $s_1$, the snake can [i]move[/i] to occupy $(s, s_1, \dots, s_{k-1})$ instead. The snake has [i]turned around[/i] if it occupied $(s_1, s_2, \dots, s_k)$ at the beginning, but after a finite number of moves occupies $(s_k, s_{k-1}, \dots, s_1)$ instead. Determine whether there exists an integer $n > 1$ such that: one can place some snake of length $0.9n^2$ in an $n \times n$ grid which can turn around. [i]Nikolai Beluhov[/i]

A sequence $a_1,a_2,\ldots$ of positive integers satisfies the following properties.[list][*]$a_1 = 1$ [*]$a_{3n+1} = 2a_n + 1$ [*]$a_{n+1}\ge a_n$ [*]$a_{2001} = 200$[/list]Find the value of $a_{1000}$. [i]Note[/i]. In the original statement of the problem, there was an extra condition:[list][*]every positive integer appears at least once in the sequence.[/list]However, with this extra condition, there is no solution, i.e., no such sequence exists. (Try to prove it.) The problem as written above does have a solution.
