The vertices of two regular octagons are numbered from $1$ to $8$, in some order, which may vary between both octagons (each octagon must have all numbers from $1$ to $8$). After this, one octagon is placed on top of the other so that every vertex from one octagon touches a vertex from the other. Then, the numbers of the vertices which are in contact are multiplied (i.e., if vertex $A$ has a number $x$ and is on top of vertex $A'$ that has a number $y$, then $x$ and $y$ are multiplied), and the $8$ products are then added. Prove that, for any order in which the vertices may have been numbered, it is always possible to place one octagon on top of the other so that the final sum is at least $162$. Note: the octagons can be rotated.

5. $A$ and $B$ play alternating turns on a $2012 \times 2013$ board with enough pieces of the following types: Type $1$: Piece like Type $2$ but with one square at the right of the bottom square. Type $2$: Piece of $2$ consecutive squares, one over another. Type $3$: Piece of $1$ square. At his turn, $A$ must put a piece of the type $1$ on available squares of the board. $B$, at his turn, must put exactly one piece of each type on available squares of the board. The player that cannot do more movements loses. If $A$ starts playing, decide who has a winning strategy. Note: The pieces can be rotated but cannot overlap; they cannot be out of the board. The pieces of the types $1$, $2$ and $3$ can be put on exactly $3$, $2$ and $1$ squares of the board respectively.

An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Interestingly, assuming the vessel has thin walls and is always pressurized to near its bursting point, the amount of gas the vessel can contain, $n$ (measured in moles), does not depend on the radius $r$ of the vessel; instead it depends only on $V_m$ (measured in $\text{m}^3$), the temperature $T$ (measured in $\text{K}$), the ideal gas constant $R$ (measured in $\text{J/(K} \cdot \text{mol})$), and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma$ (measured in $\text{N/m}^2$). Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters? (A) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{V_m\sigma}{RT}$ (B) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m\sigma}}{RT}$ (C) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m\sigma^2}}{RT}$ (D) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m^2\sigma}}{RT}$ (E) $n=\frac{2}{3}\sqrt[3]{\frac{V_m\sigma^2}{RT}}$

Fourty slips of paper numbered $1$ to $40$ are placed in a hat. Alice and Bob each draw one number from the hat without replacement, keeping their numbers hidden from each other. Alice says, "I can't tell who has the larger number." Then Bob says, "I know who has the larger number." Alice says, "You do? Is your number prime?" Bob replies, "Yes." Alice says, "In that case, if I multiply your number by $100$ and add my number, the result is a perfect square. " What is the sum of the two numbers drawn from the hat? $\textbf{(A) }27\qquad\textbf{(B) }37\qquad\textbf{(C) }47\qquad\textbf{(D) }57\qquad\textbf{(E) }67$
