Richard has an infinite row of empty boxes labeled $1, 2, 3, \ldots$ and an infinite supply of balls. Each minute, Richard finds the smallest positive integer $k$ such that box $k$ is empty. Then, Richard puts a ball into box $k$, and if $k \geq 3$, he removes one ball from each of boxes $1,2,\ldots,k-2$. Find the smallest positive integer $n$ such that after $n$ minutes, both boxes $9$ and $10$ have at least one ball in them.

For a given integer $n\geq2$, a pyramid of height $n$ if defined as a collection of $1^2+2^2+\dots+n^2$ stone cubes of equal size stacked in $n$ layers such that the cubes in the $k$-th layer form a square with sidelength $n+1-k$ and every cube (except for the ones in the bottom layer) rests on four cubes in the layer below. Some of the cubes are made of sandstone, some are made of granite. The top cube is made of granite, and to ensure the stability of the piramid, for each granite cube (except for the ones in the bottom layer), at least three out of four of the cubes supporting it have to be granite. What is the minimum possible number of granite cubes in such an arrangement?

Given is a fixed regular pentagon $ABCDE$ with side $1$. Let $M$ be an arbitrary point inside or on it. Let the distance from $M$ to the closest vertex be $r_1$, to the next closest be $r_2$ and so on, so that the distances from $M$ to the five vertices satisfy $r_1\le r_2\le r_3\le r_4\le r_5$. Find (a) the locus of $M$ which gives $r_3$ the minimum possible value, and (b) the locus of $M$ which gives $r_3$ the maximum possible value.

A rectangle with sides of lengths $a$ and $b$ ($a > b$) is cut into rightangled triangles so that any two of these triangles either have a common side, a common vertex or no common points. Moreover, any common side of two triangles is a leg of one of them and the hypotenuse of the other. Prove that $a > 2b$.

Bradley is driving at a constant speed. When he passes his school, he notices that in $20$ minutes he will be exactly $\frac14$ of the way to his destination, and in $45$ minutes he will be exactly $\frac13$ of the way to his destination. Find the number of minutes it takes Bradley to reach his destination from the point where he passes his school.
