A right parallelepiped (i.e. a parallelepiped one of whose edges is perpendicular to a face) is given. Its vertices have integral coordinates, and no other points with integral coordinates lie on its faces or edges. Prove that the volume of this parallelepiped is a sum of three perfect squares.

A lattice point in an $xy$-coordinate system is any point $(x,y)$ where both $x$ and $y$ are integers. The graph of $y=mx+2$ passes through no lattice point with $0<x \le 100$ for all $m$ such that $\frac{1}{2}<m<a$. What is the maximum possible value of $a$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{51}{101} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{50}{99} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac{51}{100} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac{52}{101} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \frac{13}{25} $

Calculate the Gauss integral \[\oint\frac{(d\overrightarrow{A},d\overrightarrow{B},\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B})}{|\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B}|^3}\] where $\overrightarrow{A}$ runs along the curve $x=\cos\alpha$, $y=\sin\alpha$, $z=0$, and $\overrightarrow{B}$ along the curve $x=2\cos^2\beta$, $y=\frac12\sin\beta$, $z=\sin2\beta$. Note: that $\oint$ was supposed to be oiint (i.e. $\iint$ with a circle) but the command does not work on AoPS.
