Problem 1:- Ammar is given 27 standard dice and asked to glue them together into a
larger 3 × 3 × 3 cube, so that the adjacent faces (i.e. the faces glued together) have the
same number of dots. What is the maximal number of dots that Ammar can leave visible
on the outside of his 3 × 3 × 3 cube?
Note: Two views of the standard dice are shown below. The faces are arranged so that
opposite sides add to 7.

Problem 2:- A rectangle with sides of the length 3 and 4 is inscribed into a circle.
Moreover, four half – circles are glued to its sides from outside as in the picture. What is
the area of the shaded region, which consists of region of the half – circles not lying
inside the circle?

Problem 6:- Salem drew a right triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 with a right angle at vertex 𝐵. The size of
the angle 𝐵𝐴𝐶 was 30 (in degree). Then he marked a midpoint of 𝐴𝐶 and named it M.
Finally, he added a point 𝐷 on side 𝐴𝐵 such that 𝐵𝐷 = 𝐵𝐶. Find the size of the angle
𝐵𝑀𝐷 in degree.

Solution:
75°
In right-angled triangle ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠BAC = 30°. Therefore, ∠BCA = 180° - 90° -
30° = 60°.
Thus, BM = AM = MC = AC/2.
In triangle BMD, BM = BD. Let ∠BMD = x. Then ∠BDM = x. In triangle BMD, the sum of
angles is 180°. Therefore, ∠DBM + x + x = 180°.
∠DBM = ∠ABC - ∠DBC = 90° - ∠DBC. We need to find ∠DBC. In isosceles triangle BCD,
