Let $ S$ be the set of ordered triples $ (x,y,z)$ of real numbers for which
\[ \log_{10} (x \plus{} y) \equal{} z\text{ and }\log_{10} (x^2 \plus{} y^2) \equal{} z \plus{} 1.
\]There are real numbers $ a$ and $ b$ such that for all ordered triples $ (x,y,z)$ in $ S$ we have $ x^3 \plus{} y^3 \equal{} a \cdot 10^{3z} \plus{} b \cdot 10^{2z}$. What is the value of $ a \plus{} b$?

A graph $G$ with $n$ vertices is called [i]cool[/i] if we can label each vertex with a different positive integer not greater than $\frac{n^2}{4}$ and find a set of non-negative integers $D$ so that there is an edge between two vertices iff the difference between their labels is in $D$. Show that if $n$ is sufficiently large we can always find a graph with $n$ vertices which is not cool.

Consider a charged capacitor made with two square plates of side length $L$, uniformly charged, and separated by a very small distance $d$. The EMF across the capacitor is $\xi$. One of the plates is now rotated by a very small angle $\theta$ to the original axis of the capacitor. Find an expression for the difference in charge between the two plates of the capacitor, in terms of (if necessary) $d$, $\theta$, $\xi$, and $L$.
Also, approximate your expression by transforming it to algebraic form: i.e. without any non-algebraic functions. For example, logarithms and trigonometric functions are considered non-algebraic. Assume $ d << L $ and $ \theta \approx 0 $.
$\emph{Hint}$: You may assume that $ \frac {\theta L}{d} $ is also very small.

There are two possible ways to rotate the capacitor. Both were equally scored but this is what was meant: [asy]size(6cm);
