Two rays emanate from the origin $O$ and form a $45^\circ$ angle in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate plane. For some positive numbers $X$, $Y$, and $S$, the ray with the larger slope passes through point $A = (X, S)$, and the ray with the smaller slope passes through point $B = (S, Y)$. If $6X + 6Y + 5S = 600$, then determine the maximum possible area of $\triangle OAB$.

For an integer $a$ and positive integers $n$ and $k$, let $f_k(a, n)$ be the remainder when $a^k$ is divided by $n$. Find the largest composite integer $n\leq 100$ that guarantees the infinite sequence \[ f_1(a,n),f_2(a,n),f_3(a,n),\ldots,f_i(a,n),\ldots \] to be periodic for all integers $a$ (i.e., for each choice of $a$, there is some positive integer $T$ such that $f_k(a,n) = f_{k+T}(a,n)$ for all $k$).

We are given an acute triangle $ABC$ with $AB\neq AC$. Let $D$ be a point of $BC$ such that $DA$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $ABC$. Let $E$ and $F$ be the circumcenters of triangles $ABD$ and $ACD$, respectively, and let $M$ be the midpoints $EF$. Prove that the line tangent to the circumcircle of $AMD$ through $D$ is also tangent to the circumcircle of $ABC$. [i]Proposed by Patrik Bak, Slovakia[/i]

The graph of $y=C\sin x$, where $C>0$ is a constant, is drawn on the interval $[0,\pi]$. Suppose that there exists a point $P$ on the graph such that the triangle with vertices $(0,0)$, $(\pi,0)$, and $P$ is equilateral. Find $C^2$.

Consider the rectangle in the coordinate plane with corners $(0, 0)$, $(16, 0)$, $(16, 4)$, and $(0, 4)$. For a constant $x_0 \in [0, 16]$, the curves \[ \{(x, y) : y = \sqrt{x} \,\text{ and }\, 0 \leq x \leq 16\} \quad \text{and} \quad \{(x_0, y) : 0 \leq y \leq 4\} \] partition this rectangle into four 2D regions. Over all choices of $x_0$, determine the smallest possible sum of the areas of the bottom-left and top-right 2D regions in this partition. (The bottom-left region is $\{(x, y) : 0 \leq x < x_0 \,\text{ and }\, 0 \leq y < \sqrt{x}\}$, and the top-right region is $\{(x, y) : x_0 < x \leq 16 \,\text{ and }\, \sqrt{x} < y \leq 4\}$.)

Consider an array of white unit squares arranged in a rectangular grid with $59$ rows of unit squares and $c$ columns of unit squares, for some positive integer $c$. What is the smallest possible value of $c$ such that, if we shade exactly $25$ unit squares in each column black, then there must necessarily be some row with at least $18$ black unit squares?

An ant is walking on a sidewalk and discovers $12$ sidewalk panels with leaves inscribed in them, as shown below. Find the number of ways in which the ant can traverse from point $A$ to point $B$ if it can only move [list] [*] up, down, or right (along the border of a sidewalk panel), or [*] up-right (along one of two margin halves of a leaf) [/list] and cannot visit any border or margin half more than once (an example path is highlighted in red).

There is a unique choice of positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ such that $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime and the infinite sums \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left(\left(\frac{a - b\sqrt{c}}{10}\right)^{n-10}\cdot\prod_{k=0}^{9} (n - k)\right) \quad \text{and} \quad \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left((a - b\sqrt{c})^{n+1}\cdot\prod_{k=0}^{9} (n - k)\right) \] are equal (i.e., converging to the same finite value). Compute $a + b + c$.
