G. H. Hardy once went to visit Srinivasa Ramanujan in the hospital, and he started the conversation with: “I came here in taxi-cab number $1729$. That number seems dull to me, which I hope isn’t a bad omen.” “Nonsense,” said Ramanujan. “The number isn’t dull at all. It’s quite interesting. It’s the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.” Ramujan had immediately seen that $1729=12^3+1^3=10^3+9^3$. What is the smallest positive integer representable as the sum of the cubes of [i]three[/i] positive integers in two different ways?

The net of 20 triangles shown below can be folded to form a regular icosahedron. Inside each of the triangular faces, write a number from 1 to 20 with each number used exactly once. Any pair of numbers that are consecutive must be written on faces sharing an edge in the folded icosahedron, and additionally, 1 and 20 must also be on faces sharing an edge.

Given points $P$ and $Q$, Jaqueline has a ruler that allows tracing the line $PQ$. Jaqueline also has a special object that allows the construction of a circle of diameter $PQ$. Also, always when two circles (or a circle and a line, or two lines) intersect, she can mark the points of the intersection with a pencil and trace more lines and circles using these dispositives by the points marked. Initially, she has an acute scalene triangle $ABC$. Show that Jaqueline can construct the incenter of $ABC$.

Indra has a bag for bringing flowers for her grandmother. The first day she brings $n$ flowers. From the second day Indra tries to bring three times plus one with respect to the number of flowers of the previous day. However, if this number is greater or equal to $40$, Indra substracts multiples of $40$ until the remainder is less than this number, since her bag cannot containt so many flowers. For which value of $n$ Indra will bring $30$ flowers the day $2016$?
