Let $ABCDA'B'C'D'$ be a rectangular parallelipiped, where $ABCD$ is the lower face and $A, B, C$ and $D$ are below $A', B', C'$ and $D'$, respectively. The parallelipiped is divided into eight parts by three planes parallel to its faces. For each vertex $P$, let $V_P$ denote the volume of the part containing $P$. Given that $V_A= 40$, $V_C = 300$ , $V_B' = 360$ and $V_C'= 90$, find the volume of $ABCDA'B'C'D'$.

A music streaming service proposes songs classified in $10$ musical genres, so that each song belong to one and only one gender. The songs are played one after the other: the first $17$ are chosen by the user, but starting from the eighteenth the service automatically determines which song to play. Elisabetta has noticed that, if one makes the classification of which genres they appear several times during the last $17$ songs played, the new song always belongs to the genre at the top of the ranking or, in case of same merit, at one of the first genres. Prove that, however, the first $17$ tracks are chosen, from a certain point onwards the songs proposed are all of the same kind.

Let $ABC$ a triangle, let $K$ be the foot of the bisector relative to $BC$ and $J$ be the foot of the trisectrix relative to $BC$ closer to the side $AC$ ($3\angle JAC)=\angle CAB$ ). Let $C'$ and $B'$ be two point on the line $AJ$ on the side of $J$ with respect to $A$, such that $AC'=AC$ and $AB=AB'$. Prove that $ABB'C$ is cyclic if and only if lines $C'K$ and $BB'$ are parallel.

Determine all pairs of integers $(a, b)$ that solve the equation $a^3 + b^3 + 3ab = 1$.

Let $AB$ be a chord of a circle $\Gamma$ and let $C$ be a point on the segment $AB$. Let $r$ be a line through $C$ which intersects $\Gamma$ at the points $D,E$; suppose that $D,E$ lie on different sides with respect to the perpendicular bisector of $AB$. Let $\Gamma_D$ be the circumference which is externally tangent to $\Gamma$ at $D$ and touches the line $AB$ at $F$. Let $\Gamma_E$ be the circumference which is externally tangent to $\Gamma$ at $E$ and touches the line $AB$ at $G$. Prove that $CA=CB$ if and only if $CF=CG$.

Ada and Charles play the following game:at the beginning, an integer n>1 is written on the blackboard.In turn, Ada and Charles remove the number k that they find on the blackboard.In turn Ad and Charles remove the number k that they find on the blackboard and they replace it : 1 -either with a positive divisor k different from 1 and k 2- or with k+1 At the beginning each players have a thousand points each.When a player choses move 1, he/she gains one point;when a player choses move 2, he/she loses one point.The game ends when one of the tho players is left with zero points and this player loses the game.Ada moves first.For what values Chares has a winning strategy?
