At Megapolis Hospital one year, multiple-birth statistics were as follows: Sets of twins, triplets, and quadruplets accounted for $1000$ of the babies born. There were four times as many sets of triplets as sets of quadruplets, and there was three times as many sets of twins as sets of triplets. How many of these $1000$ babies were in sets of quadruplets? $\textbf{(A)}\ 25\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 40\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 64\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 100\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 160$

Starting with some gold coins and some empty treasure chests, I tried to put 9 gold coins in each treasure chest, but that left 2 treasure chests empty. So instead I put 6 gold coins in each treasure chest, but then I had 3 gold coins left over. How many gold coins did I have? $\textbf{(A) }9\qquad\textbf{(B) }27\qquad\textbf{(C) }45\qquad\textbf{(D) }63\qquad\textbf{(E) }81$

1993 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 9.6

Three right-angled triangles have been placed in a halfplane determined by a line $\ell$, each with one leg lying on $\ell$. Assume that there is a line parallel to $\ell$ cutting the triangles in three congruent segments. Show that, if each of the triangles is rotated so that its other leg lies on $\ell$, then there still exists a line parallel to $\ell$ cutting them in three congruent segments.

A plane intersects a sphere of radius $10$ such that the distance from the center of the sphere to the plane is $9$. The plane moves toward the center of the bubble at such a rate that the increase in the area of the intersection of the plane and sphere is constant, and it stops once it reaches the center of the circle. Determine the distance from the center of the sphere to the plane after two-thirds of the time has passed.
