The diagram below shows a $1\times2\times10$ duct with $2\times2\times2$ cubes attached to each end. The resulting object is empty, but the entire surface is solid sheet metal. A spider walks along the inside of the duct between the two marked corners. There are positive integers $m$ and $n$ so that the shortest path the spider could take has length $\sqrt{m}+\sqrt{n}$. Find $m + n$.

There are $n \geq 2$ coins numbered from $1$ to $n$. These coins are placed around a circle, not necesarily in order. In each turn, if we are on the coin numbered $i$, we will jump to the one $i$ places from it, always in a clockwise order, beginning with coin number 1. For an example, see the figure below. Find all values of $n$ for which there exists an arrangement of the coins in which every coin will be visited.

A digital calendar displays the date: day, month, and year, with $2$ digits for the day, $2$ digits for the month, and $2$ digits for the year. For example, $01-01-01$ is January $1$, $2001$ and $05-25-23$ is May $25$, $2023$. In front of the calendar is a mirror. The digits of the calendar are as in the figure [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/c/5/a08a4e34071fff4d33b95b23690254f55b33e1.gif[/img] If $0, 1, 2, 5$, and $8$ are reflected, respectively, in $0, 1, 5, 2$, and $8$, and the other digits lose meaning when reflected, determine how many days of the century, when reflected in the mirror, also correspond to a date.

Alka finds a number $n$ written on a board that ends in $5.$ She performs a sequence of operations with the number on the board. At each step, she decides to carry out one of the following two operations: $1.$ Erase the written number $m$ and write it´s cube $m^3$. $2.$ Erase the written number $m$ and write the product $2023m$. Alka performs each operation an even number of times in some order and at least once, she finally obtains the number $r$. If the tens digit of $r$ is an odd number, find all possible values that the tens digit of $n^3$ could have had.
