A given convex pentagon $ ABCDE$ has the property that the area of each of five triangles $ ABC, BCD, CDE, DEA$, and $ EAB$ is unity [i](equal to 1)[/i]. Show that all pentagons with the above property have the same area, and calculate that area. Show, furthermore, that there are infinitely many non-congruent pentagons having the above area property.

William writes the number $1$ on a blackboard. Every turn, he erases the number $N$ currently on the blackboard and replaces it with either $4N + 1$ or $8N + 1$ until it exceeds $1000$, after which no more moves are made. If the minimum possible value of the final number on the blackboard is $M$, find the remainder when $M$ is divided by $1000$.

Let $a, b, c$ be the side-lengths of a triangle, $r$ be the inradius and $r_a, r_b, r_c$ be the corresponding exradius. Show that \[ \frac{a+b+c}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}} \leq 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{{r_a}^2+{r_b}^2+{r_c}^2}}{r_a+r_b+r_c-3r} \]

There are some papers of the size $5\times 5$ with two sides which are divided into unit squares for both sides. One uses $n$ colors to paint each cell on the paper, one cell by one color, such that two cells on the same positions for two sides are painted by the same color. Two painted papers are consider as the same if the color of two corresponding cells are the same. Prove that there are no more than $$\frac{1}{8}\left( {{n}^{25}}+4{{n}^{15}}+{{n}^{13}}+2{{n}^{7}} \right)$$ pairwise distinct papers that painted by this way.

Let $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ be two circumferences intersecting at points $A$ and $B$. Let $C$ be a point on line $AB$ such that $B$ lies between $A$ and $C$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be points on $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ respectively such that $CP$ and $CQ$ are tangent to $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ respectively, $P$ is not inside $\mathcal{C}_2$ and $Q$ is not inside $\mathcal{C}_1$. Line $PQ$ cuts $\mathcal{C}_1$ at $R$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ at $S$, both points different from $P$, $Q$ and $B$. Suppose $CR$ cuts $\mathcal{C}_1$ again at $X$ and $CS$ cuts $\mathcal{C}_2$ again at $Y$. Let $Z$ be a point on line $XY$. Prove $SZ$ is parallel to $QX$ if and only if $PZ$ is parallel to $RX$.

Let $a$, $b$, $n$ be positive integers such that $a + b \leq n^2$. Alice and Bob play a game on an (initially uncoloured) $n\times n$ grid as follows: - First, Alice paints $a$ cells green. - Then, Bob paints $b$ other (i.e.uncoloured) cells blue. Alice wins if she can find a path of non-blue cells starting with the bottom left cell and ending with the top right cell (where a path is a sequence of cells such that any two consecutive ones have a common side), otherwise Bob wins. Determine, in terms of $a$, $b$ and $n$, who has a winning strategy.

Let $n\geq 3$ be a fixed positive integer. Determine the minimum possible value of \[\sum_{1\leq i<j<k\leq n} \max(x_ix_j + x_k, x_jx_k + x_i, x_kx_i + x_j)^2\]over all non-negative reals $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n$ satisfying $x_1+x_2+\dots+x_n=n$.

Michael and Steven are playing the card game War with a deck of $4$ cards numbered $1$ through $4.$ The deck is shuffled randomly and Michael gets a stack of $1$ card and Steven gets a stack of $3$ cards. In each round, the players reveal the top card from their stack, and the player whose card was higher collects both cards to the bottom of their stack in random order. A player wins when they get all four cards in their hand. The probability that Michael wins after exactly $5$ rounds is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ for coprime positive integers $m$ and $n.$ Find $m + n.$

An acute triangle is a triangle that has all angles less than $90^{\circ}$ ($90^{\circ}$ is a Right Angle). Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with altitudes $AD$, $BE$, and $CF$ meeting at $H$. The circle passing through points $D$, $E$, and $F$ meets $AD$, $BE$, and $CF$ again at $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ respectively. Prove the following inequality: $$\frac{AH}{DX}+\frac{BH}{EY}+\frac{CH}{FZ} \geq 3.$$

In \(\triangle ABC, AB = AC = 10\) and \(BC = 12\). Point \(D\) lies strictly between \(A\) and \(B\) on \(\overline{AB}\) and point \(E\) lies strictly between \(A\) and \(C\) on \(\overline{AC}\) so that \(AD = DE = EC\). Then \(AD\) can be expressed in the form \(\tfrac{p}{q}\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are relatively prime positive integers. Find \(p + q\).
