A square table is covered with a square cloth (may be of a different size) without folds and wrinkles. All corners of the table are left uncovered and all four hanging parts are triangular. Given that two adjacent hanging parts are equal prove that two other parts are also equal.

Let $AB$ be a diameter of a semicircle $\Gamma$. Two circles, $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$, externally tangent to each other and internally tangent to $\Gamma$, are tangent to the line $AB$ at $P$ and $Q$, respectively, and to semicircular arc $AB$ at $C$ and $D$, respectively, with $AP<AQ$. Suppose $F$ lies on $\Gamma$ such that $ \angle FQB = \angle CQA $ and that $ \angle ABF = 80^\circ $. Find $ \angle PDQ $ in degrees.

It is not possible to construct a segment of length $\pi$ using a straightedge, compass, and a given segment of length $1$. The following construction, given in $1685$ by Adam Kochansky, yields a segment whose length agrees with $\pi$ to five decimal places: Construct a circle of radius $1$ and call its center $O$. Construct a diameter $AB$ of this circle and a line $\ell$ tangent to the circle at $A$. Next, draw a circle with radius $1$ centered at $A$, and call one of the intersections with the original circle $C$. Now from C draw an arc of radius $1$ intersecting the circle around $A$ at $D$, where $D$ lies outside of the circle centered at $O$. Draw $OD$ and let $E$ be its point of intersection with $\ell$ . Construct $H$ on $AE$ such that $A$ is between $H$ and $E$, and $HE=3$. The distance between $B$ and $H$ is then close to $\pi$; calculate its exact value.

Let $n > 1$ be an integer. Determine the greatest common divisor of the set of numbers $\left\{ \left( \begin{matrix} 2n \\ 2i+1 \\ \end{matrix} \right):0 \le i \le n-1 \right\}$ i.e. the largest positive integer, dividing $\left( \begin{matrix} 2n \\ 2i+1 \\ \end{matrix} \right)$ without remainder for every $i = 0, 1, ..., n–1$ .

The NEMO (National Electronic Math Olympiad) is similar to the NIMO Summer Contest, in that there are fifteen problems, each worth a set number of points. However, the NEMO is weighted using Fibonacci numbers; that is, the $n^{\text{th}}$ problem is worth $F_n$ points, where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for $n \ge 3$. The two problem writers are fair people, so they make sure that each of them is responsible for problems worth an equal number of total points. Compute the number of ways problem writing assignments can be distributed between the two writers. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]

The numbers $1, 2,\ldots ,50$ are written on a blackboard. Ana performs the following operations: she chooses any three numbers $a, b$ and $c$ from the board and replaces them with their sum $a + b + c$ and writes the number $(a + b) (b + c) (c + a)$ in the notebook. Ana performs these operations until there are only two numbers left on the board ($24$ operations in total). Then, she calculates the sum of the numbers written down in her notebook. Let $M$ and $m$ be the maximum and minimum possible of the sums obtained by Ana. Find the value of $\frac{M}{m}$.
