Michael, David, Evan, Isabella, and Justin compete in the NIMO Super Bowl, a round-robin cereal-eating tournament. Each pair of competitors plays exactly one game, in which each competitor has an equal chance of winning (and there are no ties). The probability that none of the five players wins all of his/her games is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$, $n$. Compute $100m + n$.

Four congruent and pairwise externally tangent circles are inscribed in square $ABCD$ as shown. The ray through $A$ passing through the center of the square hits the opposing circle at point $E$, shown in the diagram below. Given $AE= 5 + 2\sqrt{2}$, the area of the square can be expressed as $a + b\sqrt{c}$, where $a$, $b$, $c$ are positive integers and $c$ is square-free. Find $a+b+c.$

Let $H$ be the orthocenter of an acute trangle $ABC$ with circumcircle $\Gamma$. Let $P$ be a point on the arc $BC$ (not containing $A$) of $\Gamma$, and let $M$ be a point on the arc $CA$ (not containing $B$) of $\Gamma$ such that $H$ lies on the segment $PM$. Let $K$ be another point on $\Gamma$ such that $KM$ is parallel to the Simson line of $P$ with respect to triangle $ABC$. Let $Q$ be another point on $\Gamma$ such that $PQ \parallel BC$. Segments $BC$ and $KQ$ intersect at a point $J$. Prove that $\triangle KJM$ is an isosceles triangle.

On the edges of a convex polyhedra we draw arrows such that from each vertex at least an arrow is pointing in and at least one is pointing out.
Prove that there exists a face of the polyhedra such that the arrows on its edges form a circuit.

In the figure, a circle is located inside a trapezoid with two right angles so that a point of tangency of the circle is the midpoint of the side perpendicular to the two bases. The circle also has points of tangency on each base of the trapezoid. The diameter of the circle is $\frac{2}{3}$ the length of $EF$. If the area of the circle is $9\pi$ square units, what is the area of the trapezoid?

[b]10.[/b] Given a straight line $g$ in the plane and a point $O$ on $g$. Construct, without making use of the Parallel Axiom, the half-line perpendicular to $g$ at the point $O$ and lying in one of the half-planes defined by $g$, under the following restrictions: The construction must be effected by use of a ruler and of a length standard (i.e. an etalon-segment) only; moreover, all lines and points of the construction must lie in the chosen half-plane.

Let $S$ be a set of $10$ positive integers. Prove that one can find two disjoint subsets $A =\{a_1, ..., a_k\}$ and $B = \{b_1, ... , b_k\}$ of $S$ with $|A| = |B|$ such that the sums $x =\frac{1}{a_1}+ ... +\frac{1}{a_k}$ and $y =\frac{1}{b_1}+ ... +\frac{1}{b_k}$ differ by less than $0.01$, i.e., $|x - y| < 1/100$.

A positive integer is called a "double number" if its decimal representation consists of a block of digits, not commencing with $0$, followed immediately by an identical block. So, for instance, $360360$ is a double number, but $36036$ is not. Show that there are infinitely many double numbers which are perfect squares.

A "Hishgad" lottery ticket contains the numbers $1$ to $mn$, arranged in some order in a table with $n$ rows and $m$ columns. It is known that the numbers in each row increase from left to right and the numbers in each column increase from top to bottom. An example for $n=3$ and $m=4$:

size(3cm);
Label[][] numbers = {{"$1$", "$2$", "$3$", "$9$"}, {"$4$", "$6$", "$7$", "$10$"}, {"$5$", "$8$", "$11$", "$12$"}};

for (int i=0; i<4;++i){
for (int j=0; j<3;++j){
label(numbers[2-j][i], (i+0.5, j+0.5));
}}

When the ticket is bought the numbers are hidden, and one must "scratch" the ticket to reveal them. How many cells does it always suffice to reveal in order to determine the whole table with certainty?
