Two players $A$ and $B$ play a game with a ball and $n$ boxes placed onto the vertices of a regular $n$-gon where $n$ is a positive integer. Initially, the ball is hidden in a box by player $A$. At each step, $B$ chooses a box, then player $A$ says the distance of the ball to the selected box to player $B$ and moves the ball to an adjacent box. If $B$ finds the ball, then $B$ wins. Find the least number of steps for which $B$ can guarantee to win.

Suppose $l(M, XYZ)$ is a Simson line of the triangle $XYZ$ that passes through $M$. Suppose $ABCDEF$ is a cyclic hexagon such that $l(A, BDF), l(B, ACE), l(D, ABF), l(E, ABC)$ intersect at a single point. Prove that $CDEF$ is a rectangle. [color=blue]Should the first sentence read: Suppose $l(M, XYZ)$ is a Simson line of the triangle $XYZ$ [u]with respect to[/u] $M$. ? Since it appears weird that a Simson line that passes a point is to be constructed. However, this is Unsolved after all, so I'm not sure.[/color]

Mandrew Mellon is competing in the annual Martian College Interesting Competition of Math (MCICM). The first question asks to compute the product of the base $8$ numerals $1245415_8$, $7563265_8$, and $ 6321473_8$. Mandrew correctly computed the product in his scratch work, but when he looked back he realized he smudged the middle digit. He knows that the product is $1014133027\blacksquare 27662041138$. What is the missing digit? PS. You should use hide for answers.
