We consider a prism with 6 faces, 5 of which are circumscriptible quadrilaterals. Prove that all the faces of the prism are circumscriptible quadrilaterals.
$480$ $1$ cm unit cubes are used to build a block measuring $6$ cm by $8$ cm by $10$ cm. A tiny ant then chews his way in a straight line from one vertex of the block to the furthest vertex. How many cubes does the ant pass through? The ant is so tiny that he does not "pass through" cubes if he is merely passing through where their edges or vertices meet.

We consider a prism which has the upper and inferior basis the pentagons: $A_{1}A_{2}A_{3}A_{4}A_{5}$ and $B_{1}B_{2}B_{3}B_{4}B_{5}$. Each of the sides of the two pentagons and the segments $A_{i}B_{j}$ with $i,j=1,\ldots,5$ is colored in red or blue. In every triangle which has all sides colored there exists one red side and one blue side. Prove that all the 10 sides of the two basis are colored in the same color.
A cuboctahedron is a solid with 6 square faces and 8 equilateral triangle faces, with each edge adjacent to both a square and a triangle (see picture). Suppose the ratio of the volume of an octahedron to a cuboctahedron with the same side length is $r$. Find $100r^2$.

Square corners, $5$ units on a side, are removed from a $20$ unit by $30$ unit rectangular sheet of cardboard. The sides are then folded to form an open box. The surface area, in square units, of the interior of the box is [asy] fill((0,0)--(20,0)--(20,5)--(0,5)--cycle,lightgray); fill((20,0)--(20+5*sqrt(2),5*sqrt(2))--(20+5*sqrt(2),5+5*sqrt(2))--(20,5)--cycle,lightgray); draw((0,0)--(20,0)--(20,5)--(0,5)--cycle); draw((0,5)--(5*sqrt(2),5+5*sqrt(2))--(20+5*sqrt(2),5+5*sqrt(2))--(20,5)); draw((20+5*sqrt(2),5+5*sqrt(2))--(20+5*sqrt(2),5*sqrt(2))--(20,0)); draw((5*sqrt(2),5+5*sqrt(2))--(5*sqrt(2),5*sqrt(2))--(5,5),dashed); draw((5*sqrt(2),5*sqrt(2))--(15+5*sqrt(2),5*sqrt(2)),dashed); [/asy] $\text{(A)}\ 300 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 500 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 550 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 600 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 1000$
Prove that any two rectangular prisms with equal volumes can be placed in a space such that any horizontal plain that intersects one of the prisms will intersect the other forming a polygon with the same area.
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 $\angle AQP = \angle D_1RS$.
A real number is assigned to each vertex of a triangular prism so that the number on any vertex is the arithmetic mean of the numbers on the three adjacent vertices. Prove that all six numbers are equal.
Distinct planes $p_1,p_2,....,p_k$ intersect the interior of a cube $Q$. Let $S$ be the union of the faces of $Q$ and let $ P =\bigcup_{j=1}^{k}p_{j} $. The intersection of $P$ and $S$ consists of the union of all segments joining the midpoints of every pair of edges belonging to the same face of $Q$. What is the difference between the maximum and minimum possible values of $k$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 8\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 20\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 23\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 24 $
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 $XZY$.
The figure below shows a polygon $ABCDEFGH$, consisting of rectangles and right triangles. When cut out and folded on the dotted lines, the polygon forms a triangular prism. Suppose that $AH = EF = 8$ and $GH = 14$. What is the volume of the prism?
