An [i]up-right path[/i] from $(a, b) \in \mathbb{R}^2$ to $(c, d) \in \mathbb{R}^2$ is a finite sequence $(x_1, y_z), \dots, (x_k, y_k)$ of points in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $ such that $(a, b)= (x_1, y_1), (c, d) = (x_k, y_k)$, and for each $1 \le i < k$ we have that either $(x_{i+1}, y_{y+1}) = (x_i+1, y_i)$ or $(x_{i+1}, y_{i+1}) = (x_i, y_i + 1)$. Two up-right paths are said to intersect if they share any point.
Find the number of pairs $(A, B)$ where $A$ is an up-right path from $(0, 0)$ to $(4, 4)$, $B$ is an up-right path from $(2, 0)$ to $(6, 4)$, and $A$ and $B$ do not intersect.

Given any positive integer $c$, denote $p(c)$ as the largest prime factor of $c$. A sequence $\{a_n\}$ of positive integers satisfies $a_1>1$ and $a_{n+1}=a_n+p(a_n)$ for all $n\ge 1$. Prove that there must exist at least one perfect square in sequence $\{a_n\}$.

Ten identical crates each of dimensions $ 3$ ft $ \times$ $ 4$ ft $ \times$ $ 6$ ft. The first crate is placed flat on the floor. Each of the remaining nine crates is placed, in turn, flat on top of the previous crate, and the orientation of each crate is chosen at random. Let $ \frac{m}{n}$ be the probability that the stack of crates is exactly $ 41$ ft tall, where $ m$ and $ n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $ m$.

There are $33$ children in a given class. Each child writes a number on the blackboard, which indicates how many other children possess the same forename as oneself. Afterwards, each child does the same thing with their surname. After they've finished, each of the numbers $0,1,2,\dots,10$ appear at least once on the blackboard.
Prove that there are at least two children in this class that have the same forename and surname.

For a positive integer $n$, we consider an $n \times n$ board and tiles with dimensions $1 \times 1, 1 \times 2, ..., 1 \times n$. In how many ways exactly can $\frac12 n (n + 1)$ cells of the board are colored red, so that the red squares can all be covered by placing the $n$ tiles all horizontally, but also by placing all $n$ tiles vertically?
Two colorings that are not identical, but by rotation or reflection from the board into each other count as different.

Starting at $(1,1)$, a stone is moved in the coordinate plane according to the following rules:
(i) From any point $(a,b)$, the stone can move to $(2a,b)$ or $(a,2b)$.
(ii) From any point $(a,b)$, the stone can move to $(a-b,b)$ if $a > b$, or to $(a,b-a)$ if $a < b$.
For which positive integers $x,y$ can the stone be moved to $(x,y)$?

Alice and the Cheshire Cat play a game. At each step, Alice either (1) gives the cat a penny, which causes the cat to change the number of (magic) beans that Alice has from $ n$ to $ 5n$ or (2) gives the cat a nickel, which causes the cat to give Alice another bean. Alice wins (and the cat disappears) as soon as the number of beans Alice has is greater than $ 2008$ and has last two digits $ 42$. What is the minimum number of cents Alice can spend to win the game, assuming she starts with 0 beans?
