Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$, and $M$ is the midpoint of $AB$. Points $S_1$ and $S_2$ lie on the line $AB$ (but not between $A$ and $B$). The tangents drawn from $S_1$ to $\omega_1$ touch it at $X_1$ and $Y_1$, and the tangents drawn from $S_2$ to $\omega_2$ touch it at $X_2$ and $Y_2$. Prove that if the line $X_1X_2$ passes through $M$, then line $Y_1Y_2$ also passes through $M$.

We say that a set $S$ of integers is [i]rootiful[/i] if, for any positive integer $n$ and any $a_0, a_1, \cdots, a_n \in S$, all integer roots of the polynomial $a_0+a_1x+\cdots+a_nx^n$ are also in $S$. Find all rootiful sets of integers that contain all numbers of the form $2^a - 2^b$ for positive integers $a$ and $b$.

Ellina has twelve blocks, two each of red $\left({\bf R}\right),$ blue $\left({\bf B}\right),$ yellow $\left({\bf Y}\right),$ green $\left({\bf G}\right),$ orange $\left({\bf O}\right),$ and purple $\left({\bf P}\right).$ Call an arrangement of blocks [i]even[/i] if there is an even number of blocks between each pair of blocks of the same color. For example, the arrangement $$ {\text {\bf R B B Y G G Y R O P P O}}$$is even. Ellina arranges her blocks in a row in random order. The probability that her arrangement is even is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Consider any sequence of real numbers $a_0$, $a_1$, $\cdots$. If, for all pairs of nonnegative integers $(m, s)$, there exists some integer $n \in [m+1, m+2024(s+1)]$ satisfying $a_m+a_{m+1}+\cdots+a_{m+s}=a_n+a_{n+1}+\cdots+a_{n+s}$, say that this sequence has [i]repeating sums[/i]. Is a sequence with repeating sums always eventually periodic?

Consider $\vartriangle ABC$ such that $CA + AB = 3BC$. Let the incircle $\omega$ touch segments $\overline{CA}$ and $\overline{AB}$ at $E$ and $F$, respectively, and define $P$ and $Q$ such that segments $\overline{P E}$ and $\overline{QF}$ are diameters of $\omega$. Define the function $D$ of a point $K$ to be the sum of the distances from $K$ to $P$ and $Q$ (i.e. $D(K) = KP + KQ$). Let $W, X, Y$ , and $Z$ be points chosen on lines $\overleftrightarrow {BC}$, $\overleftrightarrow {CE}$, $\overleftrightarrow {EF}$, and $\overleftrightarrow {F B}$, respectively. Given that $BC =\sqrt{133}$ and the inradius of $\vartriangle ABC$ is $\sqrt{14}$, compute the minimum value of $D(W) + D(X) + D(Y ) + D(Z)$.

A sequence of integers fsng is defined as follows: fix integers $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$, then set $s_1 = a$, $s_2 = b$, and $$s_n = cs_{n-1} + ds_{n-2}$$ for all $n \ge 3$. Create a second sequence $\{t_n\}$ by defining each $t_n$ to be the remainder when $s_n$ is divided by $2018$ (so we always have $0 \le t_n \le 2017$). Let $N = (2018^2)!$. Prove that $t_N = t_{2N}$ regardless of the choices of $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$.

The diagram below shows a $1\times2\times10$ duct with $2\times2\times2$ cubes attached to each end. The resulting object is empty, but the entire surface is solid sheet metal. A spider walks along the inside of the duct between the two marked corners. There are positive integers $m$ and $n$ so that the shortest path the spider could take has length $\sqrt{m}+\sqrt{n}$.
