Jeffrey stands on a straight horizontal bridge that measures $20000$ meters across. He wishes to place a pole vertically at the center of the bridge so that the sum of the distances from the top of the pole to the two ends of the bridge is $20001$ meters. To the nearest meter, how long of a pole does Jeffrey need?

Jane tells you that she is thinking of a three-digit number that is greater than $500$ that has exactly $20$ positive divisors. If Jane tells you the sum of the positive divisors of her number, you would not be able to figure out her number. If, instead, Jane had told you the sum of the \textit{prime} divisors of her number, then you also would not have been able to figure out her number. What is Jane's number? (Note: the sum of the prime divisors of $12$ is $2 + 3 = 5$, not $2 + 2 + 3 = 7$.)

Let (T) be the sphere lying inside Sxyz, but not inside the tetrahedron SABC, toucheing the planes containing the faces of SABC. Prove that (T) touches the plane (P) at the circumcenter of triangle DEF.

2015 IMC, 2

For a positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ be the number obtained by writing $n$ in binary and replacing every 0 with 1 and vice versa. For example, $n=23$ is 10111 in binary, so $f(n)$ is 1000 in binary, therefore $f(23) =8$. Prove that \[\sum_{k=1}^n f(k) \leq \frac{n^2}{4}.\] When does equality hold?

For positive integers $i$ and $N$, let $k_{N,i}$ be the $i$th smallest positive integer such that the polynomial $\frac{x^2}{2023} + \frac{N_x}{7} - k_{N,i}$ has integer roots. Compute the minimum positive integer $N$ satisfying the condition $\frac{k_{N,2023}}{k_{N,1000}}< 3$. Submit your answer as a positive integer $E$. If the correct answer is $A$, your score for this question will be $\max \left( 0, 25 \min \left( \frac{A}{E} , \frac{E}{A}\right)^{\frac32}\right)$, rounded to the nearest integer.

A natural number $n$ is said to be [i]abundant [/i] if the sum of its divisors is greater than $2n$. For example, $18$ is abundant because the sum of its divisors, $1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 18$, is greater than $36$. Write every even number greater than $46$ as a sum of two numbers abundant.

Given fi nitely many open half planes on the Euclidean plane. The boundary lines of these half planes divide the plane into convex domains. Find a polynomial $C(q)$ of degree two so that the following holds: for any $q\ge 1$ integer, if the half planes cover each point of the plane at least $q$ times, then the set of points covered exactly $q$ times is the union of at most $C(q)$ domains.

In the $3\times5$ grid shown, fill in each empty box with a two-digit positive integer such that: [list][*]no number appears in more than one box, and [*] for each of the $9$ lines in the grid consisting of three boxes connected by line segments, the box in the middle of the line contains the least common multiple of the numbers in the two boxes on the line.[/list] You do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible; you merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)

Say that a positive integer is MPR (Math Prize Resolvable) if it can be represented as the sum of a 4-digit number MATH and a 5-digit number PRIZE. (Different letters correspond to different digits. The leading digits M and P can't be zero.) Say that a positive integer is MPRUUD (Math Prize Resolvable with Unique Units Digits) if it is MPR and the set of units digits $\{ \mathrm{H}, \mathrm{E} \}$ in the definition of MPR can be uniquely identified. Find the smallest positive integer that is MPR but not MPRUUD.
