Question 2

$a,b,c,d,e,f,g$ are seven consecutive positive integers in increasing order. Their sum is a perfect cube, and $c+d+e$ is a perfect square. Find the smallest possible $d$.

Question 3

Question 6

Positive integers $a,b$ satisfy $a+b=333$. How many fractions $a/b$ are less than $1$ and irreducible? Irreducible means numerator and denominator share no common factor greater than $1$.
