Mustafa bought a big rug. The seller measured the rug with a ruler that was supposed to measure one meter. As it turned out to be $30$ meters long by $20$ meters wide, he charged Rs $120.000$ Rs. When Mustafa arrived home, he measured the rug again and realized that the seller had overcharged him by $9.408$ Rs. How many centimeters long is the ruler used by the seller?

Let $n$ be a positive integer $\geq 2$ . Consider a $n$ by $n$ grid with all entries $1$. Define an operation on a square to be changing the signs of all squares adjacent to it but not the sign of its own. Find all $n$ such that it is possible after a finite sequence of operations to reach a $n$ by $n$ grid with all entries $-1$

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$, and let $D$ be a point on side $BC$. Points $X$ and $Y$ are chosen on lines $BI$ and $CI$ respectively such that $DXIY$ is a parallelogram. Points $E$ and $F$ are chosen on side $BC$ such that $AX$ and $AY$ are the angle bisectors of angles $\angle BAE$ and $\angle CAF$ respectively. Let $\omega$ be the circle tangent to segment $EF$, the extension of $AE$ past $E$, and the extension of $AF$ past $F$. Prove that $\omega$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$.

$(SWE 3)$ Find the natural number $n$ with the following properties: $(1)$ Let $S = \{P_1, P_2, \cdots\}$ be an arbitrary finite set of points in the plane, and $r_j$ the distance from $P_j$ to the origin $O.$ We assign to each $P_j$ the closed disk $D_j$ with center $P_j$ and radius $r_j$. Then some $n$ of these disks contain all points of $S.$ $(2)$ $n$ is the smallest integer with the above property.

Amy and Bec play the following game. Initially, there are three piles, each containing $2020$ stones. The players take turns to make a move, with Amy going first. Each move consists of choosing one of the piles available, removing the unchosen pile(s) from the game, and then dividing the chosen pile into $2$ or $3$ non-empty piles. A player loses the game if he/she is unable to make a move. Prove that Bec can always win the game, no matter how Amy plays.

Six spheres of radius $1$ are positioned so that their centers are at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side length $2$. The six spheres are internally tangent to a larger sphere whose center is the center of the hexagon. An eighth sphere is externally tangent to the six smaller spheres and internally tangent to the larger sphere. What is the radius of this eighth sphere? $ \textbf{(A)} \ \sqrt{2} \qquad \textbf{(B)} \ \frac{3}{2} \qquad \textbf{(C)} \ \frac{5}{3} \qquad \textbf{(D)} \ \sqrt{3} \qquad \textbf{(E)} \ 2$
