It is known that the real function $f(t)$ is monotonic increasing in the interval $-8 \le t \le 8$, but nothing is known about what happens outside of it. In what range of values of $x$, can it be ensured that the function $y = f(2x - x^2)$ is monotonic increasing?

You have an unlimited supply of square tiles with side length $ 1$ and equilateral triangle tiles with side length $ 1$. For which n can you use these tiles to create a convex $n$-sided polygon? The tiles must fit together without gaps and may not overlap.

Let $m\ge 2$ be an integer, $A$ a finite set of integers (not necessarily positive) and $B_1,B_2,...,B_m$ subsets of $A$. Suppose that, for every $k=1,2,...,m$, the sum of the elements of $B_k$ is $m^k$. Prove that $A$ contains at least $\dfrac{m}{2}$ elements.

Dagan has a wooden cube. He paints each of the six faces a different color. He then cuts up the cube to get eight identically-sized smaller cubes, each of which now has three painted faces and three unpainted faces. He then puts the smaller cubes back together into one larger cube such that no unpainted face is visible. Compute the number of different cubes that Dagan can make this way. Two cubes are considered the same if one can be rotated to obtain the other. You may express your answer either as an integer or as a product of prime numbers.

Points $A, B, C$ are chosen on the boundary of a circle with center $O$ so that $\angle BAC$ encloses an arc of $120$ degrees. Let $D$ be chosen on $\overline{BA}$ so that $\angle AOD$ is a right angle. Extend $\overline{CD}$ so that it intersects with $O$ again at point $P$. What is the measure of the arc, in degrees, that is enclosed by $\angle ACP$? Please use the $tan^{-1}$ function to express your answer.

Let $S$ be the maximum possible value of \[ \sum_{i=2}^{2020} a_i x_i (\sqrt{a_i} - 2^{-2.25} x_i) \] and let $m$ be the smallest positive integer such that $S^m$ is rational. When $S^m$ is written as a fraction in lowest terms, let its denominator be $p_1^{\alpha_1} p_2^{\alpha_2}\cdots p_k^{\alpha_k}$ for prime numbers $p_1 < \cdots < p_k$ and positive integers $\alpha_i$.

For 31 years, n (>6) tennis players have records of wins. It turns out that for every two players, there is a third player who has won over them before. Prove that for every integer $k,l$ such that $2^{2^k+1}-1>n, 1<l<2k+1$, there exist $l$ players ($A_1, A_2, ... , A_l$) such that every player $A_{i+1}$ won over $A_i$. ($A_{l+1}$ is same as $A_1$)
