An icosahedron is rotated several times about different axes passing through its center.
Is it possible that none of the points on the surface of the icosahedron are in the same place as they were from before?
Note: The surface is considered the union of all faces, edges and vertices.

Pick’s theorem states that, given a polygon with vertices on a unit square lattice, the relationship between the area AS of the polygon, the number of boundary points B of the polygon, and the number of interior points I of the polygon is AS=I+21B−1.
There exists a similar relationship for a polygon with vertices on an equilateral triangle lattice in which the area of the smallest possible triangle is 1.
The area of the shaded triangle is 1.
If AT is the area of the polygon, B is the number of boundary points of the polygon, and I is the number of interior points of the polygon, then the relationship is AT=aI+bB+c.
What is ∣a∣+∣b∣+∣c∣?

A magician is so good at shuffling that his shuffles are always perfect in-shuffles. That means his shuffles are done in the following two steps:
If he started with six cards and shuffled thrice, he would get the original arrangement back.
If he started with a deck of 52 cards, how many shuffles would he need to get the original arrangement back?

Let {a0,a1,a2…,an} be the set of integers that satisfy k=0∑n(kn)ak=Fn ∀n∈{1,2,3,4,…}, where Fn is the nth Fibonacci number (F1=1,F2=1,F3=2,…,Fn+1=Fn+Fn−1). Then we have n→∞limanan+1=ca+b, where a, b, and c are integers with a>0 and b square-free. What is a+b+c?
