A block of wood has the shape of a right circular cylinder with radius $6$ and height $8$, and its entire surface has been painted blue. Points $A$ and $B$ are chosen on the edge of one of the circular faces of the cylinder so that $\overarc{AB}$ on that face measures $120^\text{o}$. The block is then sliced in half along the plane that passes through point $A$, point $B$, and the center of the cylinder, revealing a flat, unpainted face on each half. The area of one of these unpainted faces is $a\cdot\pi + b\sqrt{c}$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c$.

In the "Black White Pair" game, a common game among children often used to determine who goes first, participants (three or more) reveal their hands simultaneously, using the palm (white) or the back of the hand (black) to decide the winner. If one person shows a gesture different from everyone else's, that person wins; in all other cases, there is no winner. Now, A, B, and C are playing the "Black White Pair" game together. Assuming A, B, and C each randomly show "palm (white)" or "back of the hand (black)" with equal probability, the probability of A winning in one round of the game is _______.

Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ which satisfy the following equality for all $x,y\in\mathbb{R}$ \[f(x)f(y)-f(x-1)-f(y+1)=f(xy)+2x-2y-4.\][i]
f(x) = x^2 + 1
In triangle $ABC$, $A'$, $B'$, and $C'$ are on the sides $BC$, $AC$, and $AB$, respectively. Given that $AA'$, $BB'$, and $CC'$ are concurrent at the point $O$, and that $\frac{AO}{OA'}+\frac{BO}{OB'}+\frac{CO}{OC'}=92$, find $\frac{AO}{OA'}\cdot \frac{BO}{OB'}\cdot \frac{CO}{OC'}$.

Sam is serving spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. The pasta costs $1.00 per box, a jar of sauce is $2.00 and 1 pound of meatballs is $5.00. He wants to stretch this meal into 8 servings. How much does each serving cost?
The pasta is $1.00, the sauce is $2.00 and the meat is $5.00 for a total of 1+2+5 = $<<1+2+5=8.00>>8.00 He wants to stretch this meal into 8 servings so each serving will cost 8/8 = $<<8/8=1.00>>1.00 #### 1

Let \( A B C \) be a triangle such that \( A B = 7 \), and let the angle bisector of \(\angle B A C \) intersect line \( B C \) at \( D \). If there exist points \( E \) and \( F \) on sides \( A C \) and \( B C \), respectively, such that lines \( A D \) and \( E F \) are parallel and divide triangle \( A B C \) into three parts of equal area, determine the number of possible integral values for \( B C \).

Haley, Michael and Brandon were trying a marshmallow challenge to see who could hold more marshmallows in their mouths. Haley could hold 8 marshmallows in her mouth. Michael could hold 3 times as many marshmallows as Haley. Brandon could hold half as many as Michael. How many total marshmallows did all three kids hold in their mouths?
Haley held <<8=8>>8 marshmallows. Michael held 3 times Haley's, so he held 8 x 3 = <<3*8=24>>24 marshmallows Brandon held half as many marshmallows as Michael, so he held 24 / 2 = <<24/2=12>>12 marshmallows Together, they held 8 + 24 + 12 = <<8+24+12=44>>44 marshmallows. #### 44
When Herman’s team is busy working on large projects he stops at the drive-through 5 days, every week to buy a breakfast combo for himself and 3 members of his team. Each meal costs $4.00. This current project will last 16 weeks. How much will Herman spend on breakfast?
Herman buys himself and 3 team members breakfast 5 days a week so that’s 4*5 = 20 breakfast combo meals Each combo meals costs $4.00 and he buys 20 of them a week so that’s 4*20 = $<<4*20=80.00>>80.00 Over a 16 week period he spends 16*80 = $<<16*80=1280.00>>1,280.00 on breakfast #### 1280
