Two ants, one starting at $ (-1, 1) $, the other at $ (1, 1) $, walk to the right along the parabola $ y = x^2 $ such that their midpoint moves along the line $ y = 1 $ with constant speed $1$. When the left ant first hits the line $ y = \frac {1}{2} $, what is its speed?

King George has decided to connect the $1680$ islands in his kingdom by bridges. Unfortunately the rebel movement will destroy two bridges after all the bridges have been built, but not two bridges from the same island. What is the minimal number of bridges the King has to build in order to make sure that it is still possible to travel by bridges between any two of the $1680$ islands after the rebel movement has destroyed two bridges?

For each positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ be the sum of the digits in the base-four representation of $n$ and let $g(n)$ be the sum of the digits in the base-eight representation of $f(n)$. For example, $f(2020) = f(133210_\text{four}) = 10 = 12_\text{eight}$, and $g(2020) = \text{the digit sum of } 12_\text{eight} = 3$. Let $N$ be the least value of $n$ such that the base-sixteen representation of $g(n)$ cannot be expressed using only the digits $0$ through $9.$ Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000.$

Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB<AC$. Let $D$ be a point on the segment $BC$ such that $BD<CD$. The angle bisectors of $\angle ADB$ and $\angle ADC$ meet the segments $AB$ and $AC$ at $E$ and $F$ respectively. Let $\omega$ be the circumcircle of $AEF$ and $M$ be the midpoint of $EF$. The ray $AD$ meets $\omega$ at $X$ and the line through $X$ parallel to $EF$ meets $\omega$ again at $Y$. If $YM$ meets $\omega$ at $T$, show that $AT$, $EF$ and $BC$ are concurrent.
