Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$. The line through $I$, perpendicular to $AI$, intersects the circumcircle of $ABC$ at points $P$ and $Q$. It turns out there exists a point $T$ on the side $BC$ such that $AB + BT = AC + CT$ and $AT^2 = AB \cdot AC$. Determine all possible values of the ratio $IP/IQ$.

Prove:If $ a\equal{}p_1^{\alpha_1}p_2^{\alpha_2}\cdots p_{n}^{\alpha_n}$ is a perfect number, then $ 2<\prod_{i\equal{}1}^n\frac{p_i}{p_i\minus{}1}<4$ ; if moreover, $ a$ is odd, then the upper bound $ 4$ may be reduced to $ 2\sqrt[3]{2}$.

7. In triangle $ABC$, let $N$ and $M$ be the midpoints of $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Point $P$ is chosen on the arc $BC$ not containing $A$ of the circumcircle of $ABC$ such that $BNMP$ is cyclic. Given $BC=28$, $AC=30$ and $AB = 26$, the value of $AP$ may be expressed as $m/\sqrt{n}$ for positive integers $m$ and $n$, where $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $m+n$.

We have a deck of $2n$ cards. Each shuffling changes the order from $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n,b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n$ to $a_1,b_1,a_2,b_2,\ldots,a_n,b_n$. Determine all even numbers $2n$ such that after shuffling the deck $8$ times the original order is restored.

Heesu plays a game where he starts with $1$ piece of candy. Every turn, he flips a fair coin. On heads, he gains another piece of candy, unless he already has $5$ pieces of candy, in which case he loses $4$ pieces of candy and goes back to having $1$ piece of candy. On tails, the game ends. What is the expected number of pieces of candy that Heesu will have when the game ends?

Then the second player can put another rook on a free square that is not controlled by the first rook. Then the first player can put a new rook on a free square that is not controlled by the rooks on the board. Then the second player can do the same, etc. A player who cannot put a new rook on the board loses the game. Who has a winning strategy?

Daeun draws a unit circle centered at the origin and inscribes within it a regular hexagon $ABCDEF$. Then Dylan chooses a point $P$ within the circle of radius $2$ centered at the origin. Let $M$ be the maximum possible value of $|PA| \cdot |PB| \cdot |PC| \cdot |PD| \cdot |PE| \cdot |PF|$, and let $N$ be the number of possible points $P$ for which this maximal value is obtained. Find $M + N^2$.

There are $2^{2018}$ positions on a circle numbered from $1$ to $2^{2018}$ in a clockwise manner. Initially, two white marbles are placed at positions $2018$ and $2019$. Before the game starts, Ping chooses to place either a black marble or a white marble at each remaining position. At the start of the game, Ping is given an integer $n$ ($0\leq n\leq 2018$) and two marbles, one black and one white. He will then move around the circle, starting at position $2n$ and moving clockwise by $2n$ positions at a time. At the starting position and each position he reaches, Ping must switch the marble at that position with a marble of the other color he carries. If he cannot do so at any position, he loses the game. Is there a way to place the $2^{2018}-2$ remaining marbles so that Ping will never lose the game regardless of the number $n$ and the number of rounds he moves around the circle?

The NIMO problem writers have invented a new chess piece called the [i]Oriented Knight[/i]. This new chess piece has a limited number of moves: it can either move two squares to the right and one square upward or two squares upward and one square to the right. How many ways can the knight move from the bottom-left square to the top-right square of a $16\times 16$ chess board? [i] Proposed by Tony Kim and David Altizio [/i]
