For any positive integer $k$, denote the sum of digits of $k$ in its decimal representation by $S(k)$. Find all polynomials $P(x)$ with integer coefficients such that for any positive integer $n \geq 2016$, the integer $P(n)$ is positive and $$S(P(n)) = P(S(n)).$$ [i]Proposed by Warut Suksompong, Thailand[/i]

The product $a_1 \cdot a_2 \cdot ... \cdot a_{100}$ is written on the board , where $a_1$, $a_2$, $ ... $, $a_{100}$, are natural numbers. Let's consider $99$ expressions, each of which is obtained by replacing one of the multiplication signs with an addition sign. It is known that the values of exactly $32$ of these expressions are even. What is the largest number of even numbers among $a_1$, $a_2$, $ ... $, $a_{100}$ could it be?

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the unique parabola in the $xy$-plane which is tangent to the $x$-axis at $(5,0)$ and to the $y$-axis at $(0,12)$. We say a line $\ell$ is $\mathcal{P}$-friendly if the $x$-axis, $y$-axis, and $\mathcal{P}$ divide $\ell$ into three segments, each of which has equal length. If the sum of the slopes of all $\mathcal{P}$-friendly lines can be written in the form $-\tfrac mn$ for $m$ and $n$ positive relatively prime integers, find $m+n$.
