Each of $27$ bricks (right rectangular prisms) has dimensions $a \times b \times c$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are pairwise relatively prime positive integers. These bricks are arranged to form a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ block, as shown on the left below. A $28$[sup]th[/sup] brick with the same dimensions is introduced, and these bricks are reconfigured into a $2 \times 2 \times 7$ block, shown on the right. The new block is $1$ unit taller, $1$ unit wider, and $1$ unit deeper than the old one. What is $a + b + c$?

Given $a_0 > 1$, the sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$ is such that for all $k > 0$, $a_k$ is the smallest integer greater than $a_{k-1}$ which is relatively prime to all the earlier terms in the sequence. Find all $a_0$ for which all terms of the sequence are primes or prime powers.
Given a triangle, its midpoint triangle is obtained by joining the midpoints of its sides. A sequence of polyhedra $P_{i}$ is defined recursively as follows: $P_{0}$ is a regular tetrahedron whose volume is 1. To obtain $P_{i+1}$, replace the midpoint triangle of every face of $P_{i}$ by an outward-pointing regular tetrahedron that has the midpoint triangle as a face. The volume of $P_{3}$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

(b) $n \le f(n) \le n+2012$ for all $n$. Prove that for any natural number $n$ and any prime $p$, if $p$ divides $f(n)$ then $p$ divides $n$.

The number $\frac{1}{2}$ is written on a blackboard. For a real number $c$ with $0 < c < 1$, a [i]$c$-splay[/i] is an operation in which every number $x$ on the board is erased and replaced by the two numbers $cx$ and $1-c(1-x)$. A [i]splay-sequence[/i] $C = (c_1,c_2,c_3,c_4)$ is an application of a $c_i$-splay for $i=1,2,3,4$ in that order, and its [i]power[/i] is defined by $P(C) = c_1c_2c_3c_4$. Let $S$ be the set of splay-sequences which yield the numbers $\frac{1}{17}, \frac{2}{17}, \dots, \frac{16}{17}$ on the blackboard in some order. If $\sum_{C \in S} P(C) = \tfrac mn$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]
