Given a 1*1 square.
Find the area of the subset of points that are closer to its center than to any of the square’s sides.
Find the sum of all of the three digit positive integers with three distinct digits.
In the problem Cables provided by K Sengupta, the solution required the knowledge that a hanging flexible cable takes the form of a catenary, the general equation of which is y=a*cosh(x/a), combined with calculating the overall length of the catenary between the two fixed points of the cable.
This time we have a cable strung between two towers on a flat level plane. The low point of the cable is 10m above the plane. Later, the cable heats up and expands to a length of 80m. The towers also expand and gain 0.2m in height – they are now exactly 50m high. The low point of the cable is still 10m above the plane. How far apart are the towers?
Let x+1/x = √(47)

There are infinitely many triplets (n, n+1, n+2) such that each member of the triplet is a square or a sum of two squares.
Prove it.

In a best-of-five tennis match Pete Shamprowess led André Allgassy the whole way during the first two sets. André won more games in the first set than in the second. Pete won the first game in the third set. Pete won the match, even though André won 25% more games.
What were the scores in each of the 5 sets?
