Amanda has the list of even numbers $2, 4, 6, \dots 100$ and Billy has the list of odd numbers $1, 3, 5, \dots 99$. Carlos creates a list by adding the square of each number in Amanda's list to the square of the corresponding number in Billy's list. Daisy creates a list by taking twice the product of corresponding numbers in Amanda's list and Billy's list. What is the positive difference between the sum of the numbers in Carlos's list and the sum of the numbers in Daisy's list? [i]2016 CCA Math Bonanza Individual #3[/i]

A soccer ball is usually made from a polyhedral fugure model, with two types of faces, hexagons and pentagons, and in every vertex incide three faces - two hexagons and one pentagon. We call a polyhedron [i]soccer-ball[/i] if it is similar to the traditional soccer ball, in the following sense: its faces are \(m\)-gons or \(n\)-gons, \(m \not= n\), and in every vertex incide three faces, two of them being \(m\)-gons and the other one being an \(n\)-gon. [list='i'] [*] Show that \(m\) needs to be even. [*] Find all soccer-ball polyhedra. [/list]
