Let $ P (x) $ and $ Q (x) $ be polynomials with real coefficients such that $ P (0)> 0 $ and all coefficients of the polynomial $ S (x) = P (x) \cdot Q (x) $ are integers. Prove that for any positive $ x $ the inequality holds: $$S ({{x} ^ {2}}) - {{S} ^ {2}} (x) \le \frac {1} {4} ({{P} ^ {2}} ({{ x} ^ {3}}) + Q ({{x} ^ {3}})). $$

Liquid X does not mix with water. Unless obstructed, it spreads out on the surface of water to form a circular film $0.1$ cm thick. A rectangular box measuring $6$ cm by $3$ cm by $12$ cm is filled with liquid X. Its contents are poured onto a large body of water. What will be the radius, in centimeters, of the resulting circular film? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{\sqrt{216}}{\pi}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \sqrt{\frac{216}{\pi}}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \sqrt{\frac{2160}{\pi}}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{216}{\pi}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{2160}{\pi} $

Two boys are given a bag of potatoes, each bag containing $150$ tubers. They take turns transferring the potatoes, where in each turn they transfer a non-zero tubers from their bag to the other boy's bag. Their moves must satisfy the following condition: In each move, a boy must move more tubers than he had in his bag before any of his previous moves (if there were such moves). So, with his first move, a boy can move any non-zero quantity, and with his fifth move, a boy can move $200$ tubers, if before his first, second, third and fourth move, the numbers of tubers in his bag was less than $200$. What is the maximal total number of moves the two boys can do? [i]Proposed by E. Molchanov[/i]
