Billy and Bobby are located at points $A$ and $B$, respectively. They each walk directly toward the other point at a constant rate; once the opposite point is reached, they immediately turn around and walk back at the same rate. The first time they meet, they are located 3 units from point $A$; the second time they meet, they are located 10 units from point $B$. Find all possible values for the distance between $A$ and $B$.

A biologist wants to calculate the number of fish in a lake. On May 1 she catches a random sample of 60 fish, tags them, and releases them. On September 1 she catches a random sample of 70 fish and finds that 3 of them are tagged. To calculate the number of fish in the lake on May 1, she assumes that $25\%$ of these fish are no longer in the lake on September 1 (because of death and emigrations), that $40\%$ of the fish were not in the lake May 1 (because of births and immigrations), and that the number of untagged fish and tagged fish in the September 1 sample are representative of the total population. What does the biologist calculate for the number of fish in the lake on May 1?

Al, Bert, and Carl are the winners of a school drawing for a pile of Halloween candy, which they are to divide in a ratio of $ 3 : 2 : 1$, respectively. Due to some confusion they come at different times to claim their prizes, and each assumes he is the first to arrive. If each takes what he believes to be his correct share of candy, what fraction of the candy goes unclaimed?

This year's gift idea from BabyMath consists of a series of nine colored plastic containers of decreasing size, alternating in shape like a cube and a sphere. All containers can open and close with a convenient hinge, and each container can hold just about anything next in line. The largest and smallest container are both cubes. Determine the relationship between the edge lengths of these cubes.
