A conical glass is in the form of a right circular cone. The slant height is $21$ and the radius of the top rim of the glass is $14$. An ant at the mid point of a slant line on the outside wall of the glass sees a honey drop diametrically opposite to it on the inside wall of the glass. If $d$ the shortest distance it should crawl to reach the honey drop, what is the integer part of $d$ ? [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/T1Y3zwR.png[/img][/center]

A friction-less board has the shape of an equilateral triangle of side length $1$ meter with bouncing walls along the sides. A tiny super bouncy ball is fired from vertex $A$ towards the side $BC$. The ball bounces off the walls of the board nine times before it hits a vertex for the first time. The bounces are such that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The distance travelled by the ball in meters is of the form $\sqrt{N}$, where $N$ is an integer. What is the value of $N$ ?

One day I went for a walk in the morning at $x$ minutes past $5'O$ clock, where $x$ is a 2 digit number. When I returned, it was $y$ minutes past $6'O$ clock, and I noticed that (i) I walked for exactly $x$ minutes and (ii) $y$ was a 2 digit number obtained by reversing the digits of $x$. How many minutes did I walk?
