[b]p8.[/b] For how many three-digit base-$7$ numbers $\overline{ABC}_7$ does $\overline{ABC}_7$ divide $\overline{ABC}_{10}$? (Note: $\overline{ABC}_D$ refers to the number whose digits in base $D$ are, from left to right, $A$, $B$, and $C$; for example, $\overline{123}_4$ equals $27$ in base ten).

Wanda wants to walk through every square on the board exactly once except the one Natasha is on, starting and ending on any $2$ squares she chooses, such that from any square she can only go to an adjacent square (two squares are adjacent if they share an edge).

[b]p13.[/b] Everyone at a math club is either a truth-teller, a liar, or a piggybacker. A truth-teller always tells the truth, a liar always lies, and a piggybacker will answer in the style of the previous person who spoke (i.e., if the person before told the truth, they will tell the truth, and if the person before lied, then they will lie). If a piggybacker is the first one to talk, they will randomly either tell the truth or lie. Four seniors in the math club were interviewed and here was their conversation: Neil: There are two liars among us. Lucy: Neil is a piggybacker. Kevin: Excluding me, there are more truth-tellers than liars here. Neil: Actually, there are more liars than truth-tellers if we exclude Kevin. Jacob: One plus one equals three. Define the base-$4$ number $M = \overline{NLKJ}_4$, where each digit is $1$ for a truth-teller, $2$ for a piggybacker, and $3$ for a liar ($N$ corresponds to Neil, $L$ to Lucy, $K$ corresponds to Kevin, and $J$ corresponds to Jacob). What is the sum of all possible values of $M$, expressed in base $10$? [b]p14.[/b] An equilateral triangle of side length $8$ is tiled by $64$ equilateral triangles of unit side length to form a triangular grid. Initially, each triangular cell is either living or dead. The grid evolves over time under the following rule: every minute, if a dead cell is edge-adjacent to at least two living cells, then that cell becomes living, and any living cell remains living. Given that every cell in the grid eventually evolves to be living, what is the minimum possible number of living cells in the initial grid?

III Soros Olympiad 1996 - 97 (Russia), 11.10

In a dihedral angle of measure $c$ two non-intersecting spheres are inscribed, the centers of which are located on a straight line perpendicular to the edge of the dihedral angle. The points of contact of these spheres with the edges of the corner are at distances $a$ and $b$ from the edge. Let us consider an arbitrary plane tangent to these spheres and intersecting the segment connecting their centers. Let us denote by $\phi$ the measure of the angle formed at the intersection of this plane with the faces of a given dihedral angle. Find the greatest value $\phi$.
