For a positive real number $a$, let $C$ be the cube with vertices at $(\pm a, \pm a, \pm a)$ and let $T$ be the tetrahedron with vertices at $(2a,2a,2a),(2a, -2a, -2a),(-2a, 2a, -2a),(-2a, -2a, -2a)$. If the intersection of $T$ and $C$ has volume $ka^3$ for some $k$, find $k$.

A connected checkered figure is drawn on a checkered paper. It is known that the figure can be cut both into $2\times 2$ squares and into (possibly rotated) [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Tetromino-skew2.svg/1200px-Tetromino-skew2.svg.png]skew-tetrominoes[/url]. Prove that there is a hole in the figure.

Let $\, p \,$ be an odd prime. The sequence $(a_n)_{n \geq 0}$ is defined as follows: $\, a_0 = 0,$ $a_1 = 1, \, \ldots, \, a_{p-2} = p-2 \,$ and, for all $\, n \geq p-1, \,$ $\, a_n \,$ is the least positive integer that does not form an arithmetic sequence of length $\, p \,$ with any of the preceding terms. Prove that, for all $\, n, \,$ $\, a_n \,$ is the number obtained by writing $\, n \,$ in base $\, p-1 \,$ and reading the result in base $\, p$.

The flag of the United Nations consists of a polar map of the world, with the North Pole as its center, extending to approximately $45^\circ$ South Latitude. The parallels of latitude are concentric circles with radii proportional to their co-latitudes. Australia is near the periphery of the map and is intersected by the parallel of latitude $30^\circ$ S.In the very close vicinity of this parallel how much are East and West distances exaggerated as compared to North and South distances?

Isaac repeatedly flips a fair coin. Whenever a particular face appears for the $2n+1$th time, for any nonnegative integer $n$, he earns a point. The expected number of flips it takes for Isaac to get $10$ points is $\tfrac ab$ for coprime positive integers $a$ and $b$. Find $a + b$.

For a finite set $A$ of positive integers, a partition of $A$ into two disjoint nonempty subsets $A_1$ and $A_2$ is $\textit{good}$ if the least common multiple of the elements in $A_1$ is equal to the greatest common divisor of the elements in $A_2$. Determine the minimum value of $n$ such that there exists a set of $n$ positive integers with exactly $2015$ good partitions.

$ A$ is a set of points on the plane, $ L$ is a line on the same plane. If $ L$ passes through one of the points in $ A$, then we call that $ L$ passes through $ A$.
(1) Prove that we can divide all the rational points into $ 100$ pairwisely non-intersecting point sets with infinity elements. If for any line on the plane, there are two rational points on it, then it passes through all the $ 100$ sets.
(2) Find the biggest integer $ r$, so that if we divide all the rational points on the plane into $ 100$ pairwisely non-intersecting point sets with infinity elements with any method, then there is at least one line that passes through $ r$ sets of the $ 100$ point sets.

Find all functions $ f: N \rightarrow N $ such that:
$\bullet$ $ f (m) = 1 \iff m = 1 $;
$\bullet$ If $ d = \gcd (m, n) $, then $ f (mn) = \frac {f (m) f (n)} {f (d)} $; and
$\bullet$ $ \forall m \in N $, we have $ f ^ {2012} (m) = m $.
Clarification: $f^n (a) = f (f^{n-1} (a))$
