Let $XY Z$ be a triangle with $\angle XY Z = 40^o$ and $\angle Y ZX = 60^o$. A circle $\Gamma$, centered at the point $I$, lies inside triangle $XY Z$ and is tangent to all three sides of the triangle. Let $A$ be the point of tangency of $\Gamma$ with $Y Z$, and let ray $\overrightarrow{XI}$ intersect side $Y Z$ at $B$. Determine the measure of $\angle AIB$.

Let $x_1,x_2,...,x_k$ be a sequence of integers. A rearrangement of this sequence (the numbers in the sequence listed in some other order) is called a [b]scramble[/b] if no number in the new sequence is equal to the number originally in its location. For example, if the original sequence is $1,3,3,5$ then $3,5,1,3$ is a scramble, but $3,3,1,5$ is not.
A rearrangement is called a [b]two-two[/b] if exactly two of the numbers in the new sequence are each exactly two more than the numbers that originally occupied those locations. For example, $3,5,1,3$ is a two-two of the sequence $1,3,3,5$ (the first two values $3$ and $5$ of the new sequence are exactly two more than their original values $1$ and $3$).
Let $n\geq 2$. Prove that the number of scrambles of $1,1,2,3,...,n-1,n$ is equal to the number of two-twos of $1,2,3,...,n,n+1$.
(Notice that both sequences have $n+1$ numbers, but the first one contains two 1s.)

Euler's formula states that for a convex polyhedron with $V$ vertices, $E$ edges, and $F$ faces, $V - E + F = 2$. A particular convex polyhedron has 32 faces, each of which is either a triangle or a pentagon. At each of its $V$ vertices, $T$ triangular faces and $P$ pentagonal faces meet. What is the value of $100P + 10T + V$?

For any given triangle $A_0B_0C_0$ consider a sequence of triangles constructed as follows:
a new triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ (if any) has its sides (in cm) that equal to the angles of $A_0B_0C_0$ (in radians). Then for $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$ consider a new triangle $A_2B_2C_2$ (if any) constructed in the similar พay, i.e., $\vartriangle A_2B_2C_2$ has its sides (in cm) that equal to the angles of $A_1B_1C_1$ (in radians), and so on.
Determine for which initial triangles $A_0B_0C_0$ the sequence never terminates.
