Bobby Fisherman played a tournament in which he played $2009$ players. He either won or lost every game. He lost his first two games, but won $2002$ total games. At the conclusion of each game, he computed his exact winning percentage at that moment. Let $w_1,w_2,\ldots, w_{2009}$ be his winning percentages after games $1$, $2$, $\ldots$, $2009$ respectively. There are some real numbers, such as $0$, which are necessarily members of the set $W = \{w_1,w_2,\ldots, w_{2009}\}$. How many positive real numbers are necessarily elements of set $W$, regardless of the order in which he won or lost his games?

There is a unique choice of positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ such that $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime and the infinite sums
\[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left(\left(\frac{a - b\sqrt{c}}{10}\right)^{n-10}\cdot\prod_{k=0}^{9} (n - k)\right) \quad \text{and} \quad \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left((a - b\sqrt{c})^{n+1}\cdot\prod_{k=0}^{9} (n - k)\right) \]
are equal (i.e., converging to the same finite value). Compute $a + b + c$.

Amelia has a coin that lands heads with probability $\frac{1}{3}$, and Blaine has a coin that lands on heads with probability $\frac{2}{5}$. Amelia and Blaine alternately toss their coins until someone gets a head; the first one to get a head wins. All coin tosses are independent. Amelia goes first. The probability that Amelia wins is $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $q-p$?

We took a non-equilateral acute-angled triangle and marked $4$ wonderful points in it: the centers of the inscribed and circumscribed circles, the center of gravity (the point of intersection of the medians) and the intersection point of altitudes. Then the triangle itself was erased. It turned out that it was impossible to establish which of the centers corresponds to each of the marked points. Find the angles of the triangle

Consider an arbitrary (optional convex) polygon. It's [i]chord [/i] is a segment whose ends lie on the boundary of the polygon, and itself belongs entirely to the polygon. Will there always be a chord of a polygon that divides it into two equal parts? Is it true that any polygon can be divided by some chord into parts, the area of each of which is not less than $\frac13$ the area of the polygon?

The infinite sequence $a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots$ of positive integers is defined as follows: $a_1=1$, and for each $n \ge 2$, $a_n$ is the smallest positive integer, distinct from $a_1,a_2, \ldots , a_{n-1}$ such that:
$$\sqrt{a_n+\sqrt{a_{n-1}+\ldots+\sqrt{a_2+\sqrt{a_1}}}}$$
is an integer. Prove that all positive integers appear on the sequence $a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots$

[b]p9.[/b] The frozen yogurt machine outputs yogurt at a rate of $5$ froyo$^3$/second. If the bowl is described by $z = x^2+y^2$ and has height $5$ froyos, how long does it take to fill the bowl with frozen yogurt?
[b]p10.[/b] Prankster Pete and Good Neighbor George visit a street of $2021$ houses (each with individual mailboxes) on alternate nights, such that Prankster Pete visits on night $1$ and Good Neighbor George visits on night $2$, and so on. On each night $n$ that Prankster Pete visits, he drops a packet of glitter in the mailbox of every $n^{th}$ house. On each night $m$ that Good Neighbor George visits, he checks the mailbox of every $m^{th}$ house, and if there is a packet of glitter there, he takes it home and uses it to complete his art project. After the $2021^{th}$ night, Prankster Pete becomes enraged that none of the houses have yet checked their mail. He then picks three mailboxes at random and takes out a single packet of glitter to dump on George’s head, but notices that all of the mailboxes he visited had an odd number of glitter packets before he took one. In how many ways could he have picked these three glitter packets? Assume that each of these three was from a different house, and that he can only visit houses in increasing numerical order.
[b]p11. [/b]The taxi-cab length of a line segment with endpoints $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is $|x_1 - x_2| + |y_1- y_2|$. Given a series of straight line segments connected head-to-tail, the taxi-cab length of this path is the sum of the taxi-cab lengths of its line segments. A goat is on a rope of taxi-cab length $\frac72$ tied to the origin, and it can’t enter the house, which is the three unit squares enclosed by $(-2, 0)$,$(0, 0)$,$(0, -2)$,$(-1, -2)$,$(-1, -1)$,$(-2, -1)$. What is the area of the region the goat can reach? (Note: the rope can’t ”curve smoothly”-it must bend into several straight line segments.)

Let [i]Revolution[/i]$(x) = x^3 +Ux^2 +Sx + A$, where $U$, $S$, and $A$ are all integers and $U +S + A +1 = 1773$. Given that [i]Revolution[/i] has exactly two distinct nonzero integer roots $G$ and $B$, find the minimum value of $|GB|$.

[i]Solution.[/i] $\boxed{392}$
Notice that $U + S + A + 1$ is just [i]Revolution[/i]$(1)$ so [i]Revolution[/i]$(1) = 1773$. Since $G$ and $B$ are integer roots we write [i]Revolution[/i]$(X) = (X-G)^2(X-B)$ without loss of generality. So Revolution$(1) = (1-G)^2(1-B) = 1773$. $1773$ can be factored as $32 \cdot 197$, so to minimize $|GB|$ we set $1-G = 3$ and $1-B = 197$. We get that $G = -2$ and $B = -196$ so $|GB| = \boxed{392}$.
