Four congruent spheres are stacked so that each is tangent to the other three. A larger sphere, $R$, contains the four congruent spheres so that all four are internally tangent to $R$. A smaller sphere, $S$, sits in the space between the four congruent spheres so that all four are externally tangent to $S$. The ratio of the surface area of $R$ to the surface area of $S$ can be written $m+\sqrt{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Into each box of a $ 2012 \times 2012 $ square grid, a real number greater than or equal to $ 0 $ and less than or equal to $ 1 $ is inserted. Consider splitting the grid into $2$ non-empty rectangles consisting of boxes of the grid by drawing a line parallel either to the horizontal or the vertical side of the grid. Suppose that for at least one of the resulting rectangles the sum of the numbers in the boxes within the rectangle is less than or equal to $ 1 $, no matter how the grid is split into $2$ such rectangles. Determine the maximum possible value for the sum of all the $ 2012 \times 2012 $ numbers inserted into the boxes.

In $\triangle ABC$, let $X$ and $Y$ be points on segment $BC$ such that $AX=XB=20$ and $AY=YC=21$. Let $J$ be the $A$-excenter of triangle $\triangle AXY$. Given that $J$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$, the length of $BC$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Compute $m+n$.

Consider the statements:
$\text{(I)}~~\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=0$
$\text{(II)}~~\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=ab$
$\text{(III)}~~\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=a+b$
$\text{(IV)}~~\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=a-b$,
where we allow $a$ and $b$ to be real or complex numbers. Those statements for which there exist solutions other than $a=0$ and $b=0$ are:

Let $n$ be a positive integer. There is a pawn in one of the cells of an $n\times n$ table. The pawn moves from an arbitrary cell of the $k$th column, $k \in \{1,2, \cdots, n \}$, to an arbitrary cell in the $k$th row. Prove that there exists a sequence of $n^{2}$ moves such that the pawn goes through every cell of the table and finishes in the starting cell.

Anis, Banu, and Cholis are going to play a game. They are given an $n\times n$ board consisting of $n^2$ unit squares, where $n$ is an integer and $n > 5$. In the beginning of the game, the number $n$ is written on each unit square. Then Anis, Banu, and Cholis take turns playing the game, repeatedly in that order, according to the following procedure:
On every turn, an arrangement of $n$ squares on the same row or column is chosen, and every number from the chosen squares is subtracted by $1$. The turn cannot be done if it results in a negative number, that is, no arrangement of $n$ unit squares on the same column or row in which all of its unit squares contain a positive number can be found. The last person to get a turn wins.
Determine which player will win the game.

Let \( S \) be a set consisting of \( 2024 \) points on a plane, such that no three points in \( S \) are collinear. A line \( \ell \) passing through two points in \( S \) is called a "weakly balanced line" if it satisfies the following condition:
(Condition) The line \( \ell \) divides the plane into two regions, one containing exactly \( 1010 \) points of \( S \), and the other containing exactly \( 1012 \) points of \( S \) (where each region contains no points lying on \( \ell \)).
Let \( \omega(S) \) denote the number of weakly balanced lines among the lines passing through two points in \( S \). Find the smallest possible value of \( \omega(S) \).
