Let $ a$ be a positive real number, in Euclidean space, consider the two disks: $ D_1\equal{}\{(x,\ y,\ z)| x^2\plus{}y^2\leq 1,\ z\equal{}a\}$, $ D_2\equal{}\{(x,\ y,\ z)| x^2\plus{}y^2\leq 1,\ z\equal{}\minus{}a\}$. Let $ D_1$ overlap to $ D_2$ by rotating $ D_1$ about the $ y$ axis by $ 180^\circ$. Note that the rotational direction is supposed to be the direction such that we would lean the postive part of the $ z$ axis to into the direction of the postive part of $ x$ axis. Let denote $ E$ the part in which $ D_1$ passes while the rotation, let denote $ V(a)$ the volume of $ E$ and let $ W(a)$ be the volume of common part of $ E$ and $ \{(x,\ y,\ z)|x\geq 0\}$. (1) Find $ W(a)$. (2) Find $ \lim_{a\rightarrow \infty} V(a)$.

A round robin tennis tournament is played among $4$ friends in which each player plays every other player only one time, resulting in either a win or a loss for each player. If overall placement is determined strictly by how many games each player won, how many possible placements are there at the end of the tournament? For example, Andy and Bob tying for first and Charlie and Derek tying for third would be one possible case.

At a company, there are several workers, some of which are enemies. They go to their job with 100 buses, in such a way that there aren't any enemies in either bus. Having arrived at the job, their chief wants to assign them to brigades of at least two people, without assigning two enemies to the same brigade. Prove that the chief can split the workers in at most 100 brigades, or he cannot split them at all in any number of brigades.
