In an acute triangle $ ABC$, let $ D$ be a point on $ \left[AC\right]$ and $ E$ be a point on $ \left[AB\right]$ such that $ \angle ADB\equal{}\angle AEC\equal{}90{}^\circ$. If perimeter of triangle $ AED$ is 9, circumradius of $ AED$ is $ \frac{9}{5}$ and perimeter of triangle $ ABC$ is 15, then $ \left|BC\right|$ is $\textbf{(A)}\ 5 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{24}{5} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 6 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 8 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{48}{5}$

Given distinct straight lines $ OA$ and $ OB$. From a point in $ OA$ a perpendicular is drawn to $ OB$; from the foot of this perpendicular a line is drawn perpendicular to $ OA$. From the foot of this second perpendicular a line is drawn perpendicular to $ OB$; and so on indefinitely. The lengths of the first and second perpendiculars are $ a$ and $ b$, respectively. Then the sum of the lengths of the perpendiculars approaches a limit as the number of perpendiculars grows beyond all bounds. This limit is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac {b}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac {a}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac {ab}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac {b^2}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \frac {a^2}{a \minus{} b}$

There are $n$ children in a room. Each child has at least one piece of candy. In Round $1$, Round $2$, etc., additional pieces of candy are distributed among the children according to the following rule: In Round $k$, each child whose number of pieces of candy is relatively prime to $k$ receives an additional piece. Show that after a sufficient number of rounds the children in the room have at most two different numbers of pieces of candy. [i](Proposed by Theresia Eisenkölbl)[/i]

Miguel has a square piece of paper $ABCD$ that he folded along a line $EF$, $E$ on $AB$, and $F$ on $CD$. This fold sent $A$ to point $A'$ on $BC$, distinct from $B$ and $C$. Also, it brought $D$ to point $D'$. $G$ is the intersection of $A'D'$ and $DC$. Prove that the inradius of $GCA'$ is equal to the sum of the inradius of $D'GF$ and $A'BE$.

The Fibonacci sequence is defined by $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for every integer $n$. A sequence $(a_n)$ of integers is said to be $\textit{phirme}$ if there is a fixed integer $k$ such that $a_n + a_{n+1} = F_{n+k}$ for all $n \geq 1$. Show that if $(a_n)$ is a $\textit{phirme}$ sequence, then there exists an integer $c$ such that $$a_n = F_{n+k-2} + (-1)^nc.$$

A $7 \times 1$ board is completely covered by $m \times 1$ tiles without overlap; each tile may cover any number of consecutive squares, and each tile lies completely on the board. Each tile is either red, blue, or green. Let $N$ be the number of tilings of the $7 \times 1$ board in which all three colors are used at least once. For example, a $1 \times 1$ red tile followed by a $2 \times 1$ green tile, a $1 \times 1$ green tile, a $2 \times 1$ blue tile, and a $1 \times 1$ green tile is a valid tiling. Note that if the $2 \times 1$ blue tile is replaced by two $1 \times 1$ blue tiles, this results in a different tiling. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$.

The tennis federation has assigned numbers to $1024$ sportsmen, participating in the tournament, according to their skill. (The tennis federation uses the olympic system of tournaments. The looser in the pair leaves, the winner meets with the winner of another pair. Thus, in the second tour remains $512$ participants, in the third -- $256$, et.c. The winner is determined after the tenth tour.) It comes out, that in the play between the sportsmen whose numbers differ more than on $2$ always win that whose number is less. What is the greatest possible number of the winner?
