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.

Two logs of length 10 are laying on the ground touching each other. Their radii are 3 and 1, and the smaller log is fastened to the ground. The bigger log rolls over the smaller log without slipping, and stops as soon as it touches the ground again. The volume of the set of points swept out by the larger log as it rolls over the smaller one can be expressed as $n \pi$, where $n$ is an integer. Find $n$.
