A robot is placed at point $P$ on the $x$-axis but different from $(0,0)$ and $(1,0)$ and can only move along the axis either to the left or to the right. Two players play the following game. Player $A$ gives a distance and $B$ gives a direction and the robot will move the indicated distance along the indicated direction. Player $A$ aims to move the robot to either $(0,0)$ or $(1,0)$. Player $B$'s aim is to stop $A$ from achieving his aim. For which $P$ can $A$ win?

Yu Semo and Yu Sejmo have created sequences of symbols $\mathcal{U} = (\text{U}_1, \ldots, \text{U}_6)$ and $\mathcal{J} = (\text{J}_1, \ldots, \text{J}_6)$. These sequences satisfy the following properties. [list] [*] Each of the twelve symbols must be $\Sigma$, $\#$, $\triangle$, or $\mathbb{Z}$. [*] In each of the sets $\{\text{U}_1, \text{U}_2, \text{U}_4, \text{U}_5\}$, $\{\text{J}_1, \text{J}_2, \text{J}_4, \text{J}_5\}$, $\{\text{U}_1, \text{U}_2, \text{U}_3\}$, $\{\text{U}_4, \text{U}_5, \text{U}_6\}$, $\{\text{J}_1, \text{J}_2, \text{J}_3\}$, $\{\text{J}_4, \text{J}_5, \text{J}_6\}$, no two symbols may be the same. [*] If integers $d \in \{0, 1\}$ and $i, j \in \{1, 2, 3\}$ satisfy $\text{U}_{i + 3d} = \text{J}_{j + 3d}$, then $i < j$. [/list] How many possible values are there for the pair $(\mathcal{U}, \mathcal{J})$?

We call a nonempty set $M$ good if its elements are positive integers, each having exactly $4$ divisors. If the good set $M$ has $n$ elements, we denote by $S_{M}$ the sum of all $4n$ divisors of its members (the sum may contain repeating terms). a) Prove that $A=\{2\cdot37,19\cdot37,29\cdot37\}$ is good and $S_{A}=2014$. b) Prove that if the set $B$ is good and $8\in B$, then $S_{B}\neq2014$.

There is an $n\times n$ chessboard where $n\geq 4$ is a positive even number. The cells of the chessboard are coloured black and white such that adjacent cells sharing a common side have different colours. Let $A$ and $B$ be two interior cells (which means cells not lying on an edge of the chessboard) of distinct colours. Prove that a chess piece can move from $A$ to $B$ by moving across adjacent cells such that every cell of the chessboard is passed through exactly once.

Let $a$ be a positive real number. Collinear points $Z_1, Z_2, Z_3, Z_4$ (in that order) are plotted on the $(x, y)$ Cartesian plane. Suppose that the graph of the equation \[ x^2 + (y+a)^2 + x^2 + (y-a)^2 = 4a^2 + \sqrt{(x^2 + (y+a)^2)(x^2 + (y-a)^2)} \] passes through points $Z_1$ and $Z_4$, and the graph of the equation \[ x^2 + (y+a)^2 + x^2 + (y-a)^2 = 4a^2 - \sqrt{(x^2 + (y+a)^2)(x^2 + (y-a)^2)} \] passes through points $Z_2$ and $Z_3$. If $Z_1Z_2 = 5$, $Z_2Z_3 = 1$, and $Z_3Z_4 = 3$, then $a^2$ can be written as $\frac{m + n\sqrt{p}}{q}$, where $m$, $n$, $p$, and $q$ are positive integers, $m$, $n$, and $q$ are relatively prime, and $p$ is squarefree. Find $m + n + p + q$.
