Given a square $ABCD$ with side length $6$. We draw line segments from the midpoints of each side to the vertices on the opposite side. For example, we draw line segments from the midpoint of side $AB$ to vertices $C$ and $D$. The eight resulting line segments together bound an octagon inside the square. What is the area of this octagon?

While out for a stroll, you encounter a vicious velociraptor. You start running away to the northeast at $ 10 \text{m/s}$, and you manage a three-second head start over the raptor. If the raptor runs at $ 15\sqrt{2} \text{m/s}$, but only runs either north or east at any given time, how many seconds do you have until it devours you?

Let $n > 2$ be an integer and let $\ell \in \{1, 2,\dots, n\}$. A collection $A_1,\dots,A_k$ of (not necessarily distinct) subsets of $\{1, 2,\dots, n\}$ is called $\ell$-large if $|A_i| \ge \ell$ for all $1 \le i \le k$. Find, in terms of $n$ and $\ell$, the largest real number $c$ such that the inequality \[ \sum_{i=1}^k\sum_{j=1}^k x_ix_j\frac{|A_i\cap A_j|^2}{|A_i|\cdot|A_j|}\ge c\left(\sum_{i=1}^k x_i\right)^2 \] holds for all positive integer $k$, all nonnegative real numbers $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_k$, and all $\ell$-large collections $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_k$ of subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$.
