In an acute triangle $ABC$, let $D$, $E$, $F$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from the points $A$, $B$, $C$ to the lines $BC$, $CA$, $AB$, respectively, and let $P$, $Q$, $R$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from the points $A$, $B$, $C$ to the lines $EF$, $FD$, $DE$, respectively. Prove that $p\left(ABC\right)p\left(PQR\right) \ge \left(p\left(DEF\right)\right)^{2}$, where $p\left(T\right)$ denotes the perimeter of triangle $T$ . [i]Proposed by Hojoo Lee, Korea[/i]

$N$ coins are placed on a table, $N - 1$ are genuine and have the same weight, and one is fake, with a different weight. Using a two pan balance, the goal is to determine with certainty the fake coin, and whether it is lighter or heavier than a genuine coin. Whenever one can deduce that one or more coins are genuine, they will be inmediately discarded and may no longer be used in subsequent weighings. Determine all $N$ for which the goal is achievable. (There are no limits regarding how many times one may use the balance). Note: the only difference between genuine and fake coins is their weight; otherwise, they are identical.

There are $2017$ turtles in a room. Every second, two turtles are chosen uniformly at random and combined to form one super-turtle. (Super-turtles are still turtles.) The probability that after $2015$ seconds (meaning when there are only two turtles remaining) there is some turtle that has never been combined with another turtle can be written in the form $\tfrac{p}{q}$ where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p + q$.

Suppose $A$, $B$, and $C$ are points in the plane with $AB=40$ and $AC=42$, and let $x$ be the length of the line segment from $A$ to the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$. Define a function $f$ by letting $f(x)$ be the area of $\triangle ABC$. Then the domain of $f$ is an open interval $(p,q)$, and the maximum value $r$ of $f(x)$ occurs at $x=s$.

A trapezium is given with parallel bases having lengths $1$ and $4$. Split it into two trapeziums by a cut, parallel to the bases, of length $3$. We now want to divide the two new trapeziums, always by means of cuts parallel to the bases, in $m$ and $n$ trapeziums, respectively, so that all the $m + n$ trapezoids obtained have the same area. Determine the minimum possible value for $m + n$ and the lengths of the cuts to be made to achieve this minimum value.
