Is it possible to draw a hexagon with vertices in the knots of an integer lattice so that the squares of the lengths of the sides are six consecutive positive integers?

2007 India IMO Training Camp, 1

Circles $ w_{1}$ and $ w_{2}$ with centres $ O_{1}$ and $ O_{2}$ are externally tangent at point $ D$ and internally tangent to a circle $ w$ at points $ E$ and $ F$ respectively. Line $ t$ is the common tangent of $ w_{1}$ and $ w_{2}$ at $ D$. Let $ AB$ be the diameter of $ w$ perpendicular to $ t$, so that $ A, E, O_{1}$ are on the same side of $ t$. Prove that lines $ AO_{1}$, $ BO_{2}$, $ EF$ and $ t$ are concurrent.

All sides and diagonals of a convex $n$-gon, $n\ge 3$, are coloured one of two colours. Show that there exist $\left[\frac{n+1}{3}\right]$ pairwise disjoint monochromatic segments. [i](Two segments are disjoint if they do not share an endpoint or an interior point).[/i]

Each face of a cube is painted with a different color. How many distinct cubes can be created this way? (*Observation: The ways to color the cube are $6!$, since each time a color is used on one face, there is one fewer available for the others. However, this does not determine $6!$ different cubes, since colorings that differ only by rotation should be considered the same.*)
