In prism $JHOPKINS$, quadrilaterals $JHOP$ and $KINS$ are parallel and congruent bases that are kites, where $JH = JP = KI = KS$ and $OH = OP = NI = NS$; the longer two sides of each kite have length $\tfrac{4 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$, and the shorter two sides of each kite have length $\tfrac{5 + \sqrt{5}}{4}$. Assume that $\overline{JK}$, $\overline{HI}$, $\overline{ON}$, and $\overline{PS}$ are congruent edges of $JHOPKINS$ perpendicular to the planes containing $JHOP$ and $KINS$. Vertex $J$ is part of a regular pentagon $JAZZ'Y$ that can be inscribed in prism $JHOPKINS$ such that $A \in \overline{HI}$, $Z \in \overline{NI}$, $Z' \in \overline{NS}$, $Y \in \overline{PS}$, $AI = YS$, and $ZI = Z'S$. Compute the height of $JHOPKINS$ (that is, the distance between the bases).

A $n \times n \times n$ cube is constructed using $1 \times 1 \times 1$ cubes, some of them black and others white, such that in each $n \times 1 \times 1$, $1 \times n \times 1$, and $1 \times 1 \times n$ subprism there are exactly two black cubes, and they are separated by an even number of white cubes (possibly 0). Show it is possible to replace half of the black cubes with white cubes such that each $n \times 1 \times 1$, $1 \times n \times 1$ and $1 \times 1 \times n$ subprism contains exactly one black cube.

Two circles with radii 1 meet in points $X, Y$, and the distance between these points also is equal to $1$. Point $C$ lies on the first circle, and lines $CA, CB$ are tangents to the second one. These tangents meet the first circle for the second time in points $B', A'$. Lines $AA'$ and $BB'$ meet in point $Z$. Find angle $XZY$.

Find all integers $n \ge 3$ with the following property: it is possible to assign pairwise different positive integers to the vertices of an $n$-gonal prism in such a way that vertices with labels $a$ and $b$ are connected by an edge if and only if $a | b$ or $b | a$. Poland

$A$ and $B$ wish to divide a cake into two pieces. Each wants the largest piece he can get. The cake is a triangular prism with the triangular faces horizontal. $A$ chooses a point $P$ on the top face. $B$ then chooses a vertical plane through the point $P$ to divide the cake. $B$ chooses which piece to take. Which point $P$ should $A $ choose in order to secure as large a slice as possible?

In the regular hexagonal prism $ABCDEFA_1B_1C_1D_1E_1F_1$, We construct $, Q$, the projections of point $A$ on the lines $A_1B$ and $A_1C$ repsectilvely. We construct $R,S$, the projections of point $D_1$ on the lines $A_1D$ and $C_1D$ respectively. a) Determine the measure of the angle between the planes $(AQP)$ and $(D_1RS)$. b) Show that $\angle AQP = \angle D_1RS$.
