In the coordinate space, define a square $S$, defined by the inequality $|x|\leq 1,\ |y|\leq 1$ on the $xy$-plane, with four vertices $A(-1,\ 1,\ 0),\ B(1,\ 1,\ 0),\ C(1,-1,\ 0), D(-1,-1,\ 0)$. Let $V_1$ be the solid by a rotation of the square $S$ about the line $BD$ as the axis of rotation, and let $V_2$ be the solid by a rotation of the square $S$ about the line $AC$ as the axis of rotation. (1) For a real number $t$ such that $0\leq t<1$, find the area of cross section of $V_1$ cut by the plane $x=t$. (2) Find the volume of the common part of $V_1$ and $V_2$.

Point $A$ lies inside an angle with vertex $M$. A ray issuing from point $A$ is reflected in one side of the angle at point $B$, then in the other side at point $C$ and then returns back to point $A$ (the ordinary rule of reflection holds). Prove that the center of the circle circumscribed about triangle $\triangle BCM$ lies on line $AM$.

This requires some imagination and creative thinking: Prove or disprove: There exists a solid such that, for all positive integers $n$ with $n \geq 3$, there exists a "parallel projection" (I hope the terminology is clear) such that the image of the solid under this projection is a convex $n$-gon.

A uniform disk, a thin hoop, and a uniform sphere, all with the same mass and same outer radius, are each free to rotate about a fixed axis through its center. Assume the hoop is connected to the rotation axis by light spokes. With the objects starting from rest, identical forces are simultaneously applied to the rims, as shown. Rank the objects according to their kinetic energies after a given time $t$, from least to greatest.

Let $ A$ and $ B$ be two Abelian groups, and define the sum of two homomorphisms $ \eta$ and $ \chi$ from $ A$ to $ B$ by \[ a( \eta\plus{}\chi)\equal{}a\eta\plus{}a\chi \;\textrm{for all}\ \;a \in A\ .\] With this addition, the set of homomorphisms from $ A$ to $ B$ forms an Abelian group $ H$. Suppose now that $ A$ is a $ p$-group ( $ p$ a prime number). Prove that in this case $ H$ becomes a topological group under the topology defined by taking the subgroups $ p^kH \;(k\equal{}1,2,...)$ as a neighborhood base of $ 0$. Prove that $ H$ is complete in this topology and that every connected component of $ H$ consists of a single element. When is $ H$ compact in this topology? [L. Fuchs]

A right circular cone has base radius $ r$ and height $ h$. The cone lies on its side on a flat table. As the cone rolls on the surface of the table without slipping, the point where the cone's base meets the table traces a circular arc centered at the point where the vertex touches the table. The cone first returns to its original position on the table after making $ 17$ complete rotations. The value of $ h/r$ can be written in the form $ m\sqrt {n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers and $ n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.

We call a square table of a binary, if at each cell is written a single number 0 or 1. The binary table is called regular if each row and each column exactly two units. Determine the number of regular size tables $n\times n$ ($n> 1$ - given a fixed positive integer). (We can assume that the rows and columns of the tables are numbered: the cases of coincidence in turn, reflect, and so considered different).
