Each of $N$ people chooses a random integer number between $1$ and $19$ (including $1$ and $19$, and not necessarily with the same distribution). The random numbers chosen by the people are independent from each other, and it is true that each person chooses each of the $19$ numbers with probability at most $99\%$. They add up the $N$ chosen numbers, and take the remainder of the sum divided by $19$. Prove that the distribution of the result tends to the uniform distribution exponentially, i.e. there exists a number $0<c<1$ such that the mod $19$ remainder of the sum of the $N$ chosen numbers equals each of the mod $19$ remainders with probability between $\frac{1}{19}-c^{N}$ and $\frac{1}{19}+c^{N}$.

A unit square $ABCD$ is balanced on a flat table with only its vertex $A$ touching the table, such that $AC$ is perpendicular to the table. The square loses balance and falls to one side. At the end of the fall, $A$ is in the same place as before, and $B$ is also touching the table. Compute the area swept by the square during its fall.

Zeros and ones are placed in each square of a rectangular board. Such a board is said to be [i]varied[/i] if each row contains at least one $0$ and at least two $1$s. Given n$\geq 3,$ find all integers $k>1$ with the following property: The columns of each varied board of $k$ rows and n columns can be permuted so that in each row of the new board the $1$s do not form a block (that is, there are at least two $1$s that are separated by one or more $0$s).

Ali Barber, the carpet merchant, has a rectangular piece of carpet whose dimensions are unknown. Unfortunately, his tape measure is broken and he has no other measuring instruments. However, he finds that if he lays it flat on the floor of either of his storerooms, then each corner of the carpet touches a different wall of that room. He knows that the sides of the carpet are integral numbers of feet and that his two storerooms have the same (unknown) length, but widths of 38 feet and 50 feet respectively. What are the carpet dimensions?
