Let $\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+7 \hat{j}-\hat{k}, \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$. Let $\vec{d}$ be a vector which is perpendicular to both $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$,and $\vec{c} \cdot \vec{d}=12$. Then $(-\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}) \cdot(\vec{c} \times \vec{d})$ is equal to $........$.

If $a=\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}, b=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}, c=\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}$,then $[(a \times b) \times(b \times c), (b \times c) \times(c \times a), (c \times a) \times(a \times b)] = $
