Consider any sequence of real numbers $a_0$, $a_1$, $\cdots$. If, for all pairs of nonnegative integers $(m, s)$, there exists some integer $n \in [m+1, m+2024(s+1)]$ satisfying $a_m+a_{m+1}+\cdots+a_{m+s}=a_n+a_{n+1}+\cdots+a_{n+s}$, say that this sequence has [i]repeating sums[/i]. Is a sequence with repeating sums always eventually periodic?

Let $S$ be a square with sides length $100$. Let $L$ be a path within $S$ which does not meet itself and which is composed of line segments $A_0A_1,A_1A_2,A_2A_3,\ldots,A_{n-1}A_n$ with $A_0=A_n$. Suppose that for every point $P$ on the boundary of $S$ there is a point of $L$ at a distance from $P$ no greater than $\frac {1} {2}$. Prove that there are two points $X$ and $Y$ of $L$ such that the distance between $X$ and $Y$ is not greater than $1$ and the length of the part of $L$ which lies between $X$ and $Y$ is not smaller than $198$.

Consider $\vartriangle ABC$ such that $CA + AB = 3BC$. Let the incircle $\omega$ touch segments $\overline{CA}$ and $\overline{AB}$ at $E$ and $F$, respectively, and define $P$ and $Q$ such that segments $\overline{P E}$ and $\overline{QF}$ are diameters of $\omega$. Define the function $D$ of a point $K$ to be the sum of the distances from $K$ to $P$ and $Q$ (i.e. $D(K) = KP + KQ$). Let $W, X, Y$ , and $Z$ be points chosen on lines $\overleftrightarrow {BC}$, $\overleftrightarrow {CE}$, $\overleftrightarrow {EF}$, and $\overleftrightarrow {F B}$, respectively. Given that $BC =\sqrt{133}$ and the inradius of $\vartriangle ABC$ is $\sqrt{14}$, compute the minimum value of $D(W) + D(X) + D(Y ) + D(Z)$.

A sequence of integers fsng is defined as follows: fix integers $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$, then set $s_1 = a$, $s_2 = b$, and $$s_n = cs_{n-1} + ds_{n-2}$$ for all $n \ge 3$. Create a second sequence $\{t_n\}$ by defining each $t_n$ to be the remainder when $s_n$ is divided by $2018$ (so we always have $0 \le t_n \le 2017$). Let $N = (2018^2)!$. Prove that $t_N = t_{2N}$ regardless of the choices of $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$.

The diagram below shows a $1\times2\times10$ duct with $2\times2\times2$ cubes attached to each end. The resulting object is empty, but the entire surface is solid sheet metal. A spider walks along the inside of the duct between the two marked corners. There are positive integers $m$ and $n$ so that the shortest path the spider could take has length $\sqrt{m}+\sqrt{n}$. Find $m + n$.

There are $n \geq 2$ coins numbered from $1$ to $n$. These coins are placed around a circle, not necesarily in order. In each turn, if we are on the coin numbered $i$, we will jump to the one $i$ places from it, always in a clockwise order, beginning with coin number 1. For an example, see the figure below. Find all values of $n$ for which there exists an arrangement of the coins in which every coin will be visited.
