A train, an hour after starting, meets with an accident which detains it a half hour, after which it proceeds at $ \frac{3}{4}$ of its former rate and arrives $ 3 \frac{1}{2}$ hours late. Had the accident happened $ 90$ miles farther along the line, it would have arrived only $ 3$ hours late. The length of the trip in miles was: $ \textbf{(A)}\ 400 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 465 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 600 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 640 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 550$

Ivan and Kolya play a game, Ivan starts. Initially, the polynomial $x-1$ is written of the blackboard. On one move, the player deletes the current polynomial $f(x)$ and replaces it with $ax^{n+1}-f(-x)-2$, where $\deg(f)=n$ and $a$ is a real root of $f$. The player who writes a polynomial which does not have real roots loses. Can Ivan beat Kolya?

Alice and Bob are in a hardware store. The store sells coloured sleeves that fit over keys to distinguish them. The following conversation takes place: [color=#0000FF]Alice:[/color] Are you going to cover your keys? [color=#FF0000]Bob:[/color] I would like to, but there are only $7$ colours and I have $8$ keys. [color=#0000FF]Alice:[/color] Yes, but you could always distinguish a key by noticing that the red key next to the green key was different from the red key next to the blue key. [color=#FF0000]Bob:[/color] You must be careful what you mean by "[i]next to[/i]" or "[i]three keys over from[/i]" since you can turn the key ring over and the keys are arranged in a circle. [color=#0000FF]Alice:[/color] Even so, you don't need $8$ colours. [b]Problem:[/b] What is the smallest number of colours needed to distinguish $n$ keys if all the keys are to be covered.

Let $E$ be the ellipse lying in the $x, y$ plane centered at $(0, 0)$ with semi-major axis of length $2$ along the $x$-axis and semi-minor axis of length $1$ along the $y$-axis. Let $C$ be a cone created by revolving two perpendicular lines about an angle bisector of the perpendicular angle. There are some points $(x, y, z)$ where the vertex of $C$ could be so that $E$ is the intersection of $C$ with the $x, y$ plane. These points define a convex polygon in the $x, z$ plane. The area of this polygon can be expressed as $\sqrt{n}$ for some positive integer $n.$ Find $n.$ (Some definitions: the semi-major axis is the longest distance from the center of the ellipse to the boundary, and the semi-minor axis is the shortest distance from the center of the ellipse to the boundary.)

Let $N$ and $K$ be positive integers satisfying $1 \leq K \leq N$. A deck of $N$ different playing cards is shuffled by repeating the operation of reversing the order of $K$ topmost cards and moving these to the bottom of the deck. Prove that the deck will be back in its initial order after a number of operations not greater than $(2N/K)^2$.

Find all integers $n \in N^*$ for which $n$ checkers can be placed on the unit squares so that each row and each line have an even number of checkers.
