This year's gift idea from BabyMath consists of a series of nine colored plastic containers of decreasing size, alternating in shape like a cube and a sphere. All containers can open and close with a convenient hinge, and each container can hold just about anything next in line. The largest and smallest container are both cubes. Determine the relationship between the edge lengths of these cubes.

Fresh Mann is allowed to move some of the digits in this (incorrect) equation to make it into a correct equation. What is the minimal number of digits Fresh Mann needs to move? [b]p9.[/b] Fresh Mann said, “The function $f(x) = ax^2+bx+c$ passes through $6$ points. Their $x$-coordinates are consecutive positive integers, and their y-coordinates are $34$, $55$, $84$, $119$, $160$, and $207$, respectively.” Sophy Moore replied, “You’ve made an error in your list,” and replaced one of Fresh Mann’s numbers with the correct y-coordinate.

(b) The number is divisible by $3$, but if the first digit is removed, the remaining two-digit number is not. (c) The middle digit is the only digit that is a perfect square.
