A quarry wants to sell a large pile of gravel. At full price, the gravel would sell for $3200$ dollars. But during the first week the quarry only sells $60\%$ of the gravel at full price. The following week the quarry drops the price by $10\%$, and, again, it sells $60\%$ of the remaining gravel. Each week, thereafter, the quarry reduces the price by another $10\%$ and sells $60\%$ of the remaining gravel. This continues until there is only a handful of gravel left. How many dollars does the quarry collect for the sale of all its gravel?

Twenty-one girls and twenty-one boys took part in a mathematical competition. It turned out that each contestant solved at most six problems, and for each pair of a girl and a boy, there was at least one problem that was solved by both the girl and the boy. Show that there is a problem that was solved by at least three girls and at least three boys.

The circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ intersect at $K{}$ and $L{}$. The line $\ell$ touches the circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ at the points $X{}$ and $Y{}$, respectively. The point $K{}$ lies inside the triangle $XYL$. The line $XK$ intersects $\omega_2$ a second time at the point $Z{}$. Prove that $LY$ is the bisector of the angle $XLZ$.

Prove that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a (not necessarily convex) polygon with no three collinear vertices, which admits exactly $n$ diffferent triangulations. (A [i]triangulation[/i] is a dissection of the polygon into triangles by interior diagonals which have no common interior points with each other nor with the sides of the polygon)

Katelyn is building an integer (in base $10$). She begins with $9$. Each step, she appends a randomly chosen digit from $0$ to $9$ inclusive to the right end of her current integer. She stops immediately when the current integer is $0$ or $1$ (mod $11$). The probability that the final integer ends up being $0$ (mod $11$) is $\tfrac ab$ for coprime positive integers $a$, $b$. Find $a + b$. [i]Proposed by Evan Chang[/i]

A regular unit $7$-simplex is a polytope in $7$-dimensional space with $8$ vertices that are all exactly a distance of $ 1$ apart. (It is the $7$-dimensional analogue to the triangle and the tetrahedron.) In this $7$-dimensional space, there exists a point that is equidistant from all $8$ vertices, at a distance $d$. Determine $d$.

Each vertex of an $m\times n$ grid is colored blue, green or red in such a way that all the boundary vertices are red. We say that a unit square of the grid is properly colored if: $(i)$ all the three colors occur at the vertices of the square, and $(ii)$ one side of the square has the endpoints of the same color. Show that the number of properly colored squares is even.

In a dancing hall, there are $n$ girls standing in one row and $n$ boys in the other row across them (so that all $2n$ dancers form a $2 \times n$ board). Each dancer gives her / his left hand to a neighboring person standing to the left, across, or diagonally to the left. The analogous rule applies for right hands. No dancer gives both hands to the same person. In how many ways can the dancers do this?
