Given an isosceles triangle $\triangle ABC$, $AB=AC$. A line passes through $M$, the midpoint of $BC$, and intersects segment $AB$ and ray $CA$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively. Let $F$ be a point of $ME$ such that $EF=DM$, and $K$ be a point on $MD$.

There are $n$ sheep and a wolf in sheep's clothing . Some of the sheep are friends (friendship is mutual). The goal of the wolf is to eat all the sheep. First, the wolf chooses some sheep to make friend's with. In each of the following days, the wolf eats one of its friends. Whenever the wolf eats a sheep $A$: (a) If a friend of $A$ is originally a friend of the wolf, it un-friends the wolf. (b) If a friend of $A$ is originally not a friend of the wolf, it becomes a friend of the wolf. Repeat the procedure until the wolf has no friend left. Find the largest integer $m$ in terms of $n$ satisfying the following: There exists an initial friendsheep structure such that the wolf has $m$ different ways of choosing initial sheep to become friends, so that the wolf has a way to eat all of the sheep.

There is a $2012\times 2012$ grid with rows numbered $1,2,\dots 2012$ and columns numbered $1,2,\dots, 2012$, and we place some rectangular napkins on it such that the sides of the napkins all lie on grid lines. Each napkin has a positive integer thickness. (in micrometers!) (a) Show that there exist $2012^2$ unique integers $a_{i,j}$ where $i,j \in [1,2012]$ such that for all $x,y\in [1,2012]$, the sum \[ \sum _{i=1}^{x} \sum_{j=1}^{y} a_{i,j} \] is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of all the napkins that cover the grid square in row $x$ and column $y$. (b) Show that if we use at most $500,000$ napkins, at least half of the $a_{i,j}$ will be $0$. [i]Proposed by Ray Li[/i]
