The sides of the base of a brick are 28 cm and 9 cm, and its height is 6 cm. A snail crawls rectilinearly along the faces of the brick from one vertex of the lower base to the opposite vertex of the upper base. The horizontal and vertical components of its speed $v_{x}$ and $v_{y}$ are related by the equation $v_{x}^{2}+4 v_{y}^{2}=1$ (for example, on the upper face, $v_{y}=0$ cm/min, hence $v_{x}=v=1$ cm/min). What is the minimum time the snail can spend on its journey?

A box of chocolates in the shape of a cuboid was full of chocolates arranged in rows and columns. Míša ate some of them, and the remaining chocolates were rearranged to fill three entire rows completely, except for one space. Míša ate the remaining chocolates from another incomplete row. Then he rearranged the remaining chocolates and filled five columns completely, except for one space. He again ate the chocolates from the incomplete column. In the end, one-third of the original number of chocolates remained in the box. Determine:

a) How many chocolates were there in the entire box originally?

b) How many chocolates did Míša eat before the first rearrangement?

The ferry "Yi Rong" travels at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. On odd days, it travels downstream from point $A$ to point $B$, while on even days, it travels upstream from point $B$ to point $A$ (with the water current speed being 24 kilometers per hour). On one odd day, when the ferry reached the midpoint $C$, it lost power and drifted downstream to point $B$. The captain found that the total time taken that day was $\frac{43}{18}$ times the usual time for an odd day.

On another even day, the ferry again lost power as it reached the midpoint $C$. While drifting, the repair crew spent 1 hour repairing the ferry, after which it resumed its journey to point $A$ at twice its original speed. The captain observed that the total time taken that day was exactly the same as the usual time for an even day. What is the distance between points $A$ and $B$ in kilometers?
