27. A rectangular prism 6 cm by 3 cm by 3 cm is made up by stacking 1 cm by 1 cm

by 1 cm cubes. How many rectangular prisms, including cubes, are there whose
vertices are vertices of the cubes, and whose edges are parallel to the edges of the
original rectangular prism? (Rectangular prisms with the same dimensions but in
different positions are different.)

28. The number 2008! (factorial 2008) means the product of all the integers 1, 2, 3, 4,
. . . , 2007, 2008. With how many zeroes does 2008! end?

29. Let us call a sum of integers cool if the first and last terms are 1 and each term
differs from its neighbours by at most 1. For example, the sum 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 3 +
2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 is cool.
How many terms does it take to write 2008 as a cool sum if we use no more terms
than necessary?

30. All the vertices of a 15-gon, not necessarily regular, lie on the circumference of a
circle and the centre of this circle is inside the 15-gon. What is the largest possible
number of obtuse-angled triangles where the vertices of each triangle are vertices
of the 15-gon?
