An angle $x$ is chosen at random from the interval $0^\circ < x < 90^\circ$. Let $p$ be the probability that the numbers $\sin^2 x$, $\cos^2 x$, and $\sin x \cos x$ are not the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Given that $p = d/n$, where $d$ is the number of degrees in $\arctan m$ and $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $m + n < 1000$, find $m + n$.

The MIG is planning a lottery to give out prizes after the written tests, and the plan is very special. Contestants will be divided into prize groups in order to potentially receive a prize. However, based on the number of contestants, the ideal number of groups don't work. For example, when dividing into $4$ groups, there are $3$ left over. When dividing into $5$ groups, there's $2$ left over. When dividing into $6$ groups, theres $1$ left over. Finally, when dividing into $7$ groups, there are $2$ left over. With the knowledge that there are less than $300$ participants in the MIG, how many participants are there?

Hiram's algebra notes are $50$ pages long and are printed on $25$ sheets of paper; the first sheet contains pages $1$ and $2$, the second sheet contains pages $3$ and $4$, and so on. One day he leaves his notes on the table before leaving for lunch, and his roommate decides to borrow some pages from the middle of the notes. When Hiram comes back, he discovers that his roommate has taken a consecutive set of sheets from the notes and that the average (mean) of the page numbers on all remaining sheets is exactly $19$. How many sheets were borrowed? $\textbf{(A)}\ 10\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 13\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 15\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 17\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 20$

Let $A',B',C'$ be the midpoints of the sides $BC, CA, AB$, respectively, of an acute non-isosceles triangle $ABC$, and let $D,E,F$ be the feet of the altitudes through the vertices $A,B,C$ on these sides respectively. Consider the arc $DA'$ of the nine point circle of triangle $ABC$ lying outside the triangle. Let the point of trisection of this arc closer to $A'$ be $A''$. Define analogously the points $B''$ (on arc $EB'$) and $C''$(on arc $FC'$). Show that triangle $A''B''C''$ is equilateral.

2017 Germany Team Selection Test, 1

The leader of an IMO team chooses positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n > k$, and announces them to the deputy leader and a contestant. The leader then secretly tells the deputy leader an $n$-digit binary string, and the deputy leader writes down all $n$-digit binary strings which differ from the leader’s in exactly $k$ positions. (For example, if $n = 3$ and $k = 1$, and if the leader chooses $101$, the deputy leader would write down $001, 111$ and $100$.) The contestant is allowed to look at the strings written by the deputy leader and guess the leader’s string. What is the minimum number of guesses (in terms of $n$ and $k$) needed to guarantee the correct answer?

Since this is already 3 PM (GMT +7) in Jakarta, might as well post the problem here. Problem 1. Given an acute triangle $ABC$ and the point $D$ on segment $BC$. Circle $c_1$ passes through $A, D$ and its centre lies on $AC$. Whereas circle $c_2$ passes through $A, D$ and its centre lies on $AB$. Let $P \neq A$ be the intersection of $c_1$ with $AB$ and $Q \neq A$ be the intersection of $c_2$ with $AC$. Prove that $AD$ bisects $\angle{PDQ}$.

World Cup in America introduced a new point system. For a victory $3$ points are given, for a draw $1$ point and for defeat $0$ points. In the preliminary games, the teams are divided into groups of $4$ teams. In groups, teams play with each other, once, then in accordance with the points scored $a,b,c$ and $d$ ($a>b>c>d$) teams take the first, second, third and fourth place in their groups. Give all possible options for the distribution points $a,b,c$ and $d$

2023 Israel Olympic Revenge, P1

Armadillo and Badger are playing a game. Armadillo chooses a nonempty tree (a simple acyclic graph) and places apples at some of its vertices (there may be several apples on a single vertex). First, Badger picks a vertex $v_0$ and eats all its apples. Next, Armadillo and Badger take turns alternatingly, with Armadillo starting. On the $i$-th turn the animal whose turn it is picks a vertex $v_i$ adjacent to $v_{i-1}$ that hasn't been picked before and eats all its apples. The game ends when there is no such vertex $v_i$. Armadillo's goal is to have eaten more apples than Badger once the game ends. Can she fulfill her wish?
