If $a,b,c$ are positive real numbers such that $a+b+c=abc$ prove that $$\frac{abc}{3\sqrt{2}}\left ( \sum_{cyc}\frac{\sqrt{a^3+b^3}}{ab+1} \right )\geq \sum_{cyc}\frac{a}{a^2+1}$$

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Some of the $2k$-element subsets of a given set are marked. Suppose that for any subset of cardinality less than or equal to $(k+1)^2$ all the marked subsets contained in it (if any) have a common element. Show that all the marked subsets have a common element.

Let a ,b and c be positive real numbers such that $a^2+b^2+c^2=3$. Prove that for whatever positive real numbers x y and z, the inequality below holds. $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge \sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}$ At first I noticed $\sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}\le \sqrt{x+y+z}\sqrt{x+y+z}=x+y+z$, so perhaps the next move is to prove $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge x+y+z$, but I don't see how to do that, the best thing that I can do with the LHS of this inequality is to prove it by AM-GM in the way that $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge 3\left(\frac{xyz}{abc}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\ge 3(xyz)^{\frac{1}{3}}$, but this isn't going to be helpful...

Prove that for all positive real numbers $a$, $b$, and $c$, \[ \frac{a^3}{bc} + \frac{b^3}{ca} + \frac{c^3}{ab} \geq a+b+c \] and determine when equality occurs.

All the numbers $2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7$ are assigned to the six faces of a cube, one number to each face. For each of the eight vertices of the cube, a product of three numbers is computed, where the three numbers are the numbers assigned to the three faces that include that vertex. What is the greatest possible value of the sum of these eight products? $\textbf{(A)}\ 312 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 343 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 625 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 729 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 1680$
