This requires some imagination and creative thinking: Prove or disprove: There exists a solid such that, for all positive integers $n$ with $n \geq 3$, there exists a "parallel projection" (I hope the terminology is clear) such that the image of the solid under this projection is a convex $n$-gon.

Olya wrote fractions of the form $1 / n$ on cards, where $n$ is all possible divisors the numbers $6^{100}$ (including the unit and the number itself). These cards she laid out in some order. After that, she wrote down the number on the first card, then the sum of the numbers on the first and second cards, then the sum of the numbers on the first three cards, etc., finally, the sum of the numbers on all the cards. Every amount Olya recorded on the board in the form of irreducible fraction. What is the least different denominators could be on the numbers on the board?

Students in the class of Peter practice the addition and multiplication of integer numbers.The teacher writes the numbers from $1$ to $9$ on nine cards, one for each number, and places them in an ballot box. Pedro draws three cards, and must calculate the sum and the product of the three corresponding numbers. Ana and Julián do the same, emptying the ballot box. Pedro informs the teacher that he has picked three consecutive numbers whose product is $5$ times the sum. Ana informs that she has no prime number, but two consecutive and that the product of these three numbers is $4$ times the sum of them. What numbers did Julian remove?
