There is an infinitely tall tetrahedral stack of spheres where each row of the tetrahedron consists of a triangular arrangement of spheres, as shown below. There is $1$ sphere in the top row (which we will call row $0$), $3$ spheres in row $1$, $6$ spheres in row $2$, $10$ spheres in row $3$, etc. The top-most sphere in row $0$ is assigned the number $1$. We then assign each other sphere the sum of the number(s) assigned to the sphere(s) which touch it in the row directly above it. Find a simplified expression in terms of $n$ for the sum of the numbers assigned to each sphere from row $0$ to row $n$.

A tetrahedron $ABCD$ with acute-angled faces is inscribed in a sphere with center $O$. A line passing through $O$ perpendicular to plane $ABC$ crosses the sphere at point $D'$ that lies on the opposide side of plane $ABC$ than point $D$.

A solid tetrahedron is sliced off a solid wooden unit cube by a plane passing through two nonadjacent vertices on one face and one vertex on the opposite face not adjacent to either of the first two vertices. The tetrahedron is discarded and the remaining portion of the cube is placed on a table with the cut surface face down. What is the height of this object?

Consider the solid with 4 triangles and 4 regular hexagons as faces, where each triangle borders 3 hexagons, and all the sides are of length 1. Compute the [i]square[/i] of the volume of the solid. Express your result in reduced fraction and concatenate the numerator with the denominator (e.g., if you think that the square is $\frac{1734}{274}$, then you would submit 1734274).
