2019 Turkey MO (2nd round), 3

There are 2019 students in a school, and some of these students are members of different student clubs. Each student club has an advisory board consisting of 12 students who are members of that particular club. An {\em advisory meeting} (for a particular club) can be realized only when each participant is a member of that club, and moreover, each of the 12 students forming the advisory board are present among the participants. It is known that each subset of at least 12 students in this school can realize an advisory meeting for exactly one student club. Determine all possible numbers of different student clubs with exactly 27 members.

In order to earn a little spending money for the family vacation, Joshua and Wendy offer to clean up the storage shed. After clearing away some trash, Joshua and Wendy set aside give boxes that belong to the two of them that they decide to take up to their bedrooms. Each is in the shape of a cube. The four smaller boxes are all of equal size, and when stacked up, reach the exact height of the large box. If the volume of one of the smaller boxes is $216$ cubic inches, find the sum of the volumes of all five boxes (in cubic inches).
