A hemisphere is inscribed in a cone so that its base lies on the base of the cone. The ratio of the area of the entire surface of the cone to the area of the hemisphere (without the base) is $\frac{18}5$. Compute the angle at the vertex of the cone.

There are 20 students in a high school class, and each student has exactly three close friends in the class. Five of the students have bought tickets to an upcoming concert. If any student sees that at least two of their close friends have bought tickets, then they will buy a ticket too. Is it possible that the entire class buys tickets to the concert? (Assume that friendship is mutual; if student $A$ is close friends with student $B$, then $B$ is close friends with $A$.)

Let $n > 6$ be a perfect number. Let $p_1^{a_1} \cdot p_2^{a_2} \cdot ... \cdot p_k^{a_k}$ be the prime factorisation of $n$, where we assume that $p_1 < p_2 <...< p_k$ and $a_i > 0$ for all $ i = 1,...,k$. Prove that $a_1$ is even. Remark: An integer $n \ge 2$ is called a perfect number if the sum of its positive divisors, excluding $ n$ itself, is equal to $n$. For example, $6$ is perfect, as its positive divisors are $\{1, 2, 3, 6\}$ and $1+2+3=6$.

When a certain biased coin is flipped five times, the probability of getting heads exactly once is not equal to $0$ and is the same as that of getting heads exactly twice. Let $\frac ij$, in lowest terms, be the probability that the coin comes up heads in exactly $3$ out of $5$ flips. Find $i+j$.

In a triangle ABC we have $\angle C = \angle A + 90^o$. The point $D$ on the continuation of $BC$ is given such that $AC = AD$. A point $E$ in the side of $BC$ in which $A$ doesn’t lie is chosen such that $\angle EBC = \angle A, \angle EDC = \frac{1}{2} \angle A$ . Prove that $\angle CED = \angle ABC$. by Morteza Saghafian

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Initially, a bishop is placed in each square of the top row of a $2^n \times 2^n$ chessboard; those bishops are numbered from $1$ to $2^n$ from left to right. A [i]jump[/i] is a simultaneous move made by all bishops such that each bishop moves diagonally, in a straight line, some number of squares, and at the end of the jump, the bishops all stand in different squares of the same row. Find the total number of permutations $\sigma$ of the numbers $1, 2, \ldots, 2^n$ with the following property: There exists a sequence of jumps such that all bishops end up on the bottom row arranged in the order $\sigma(1), \sigma(2), \ldots, \sigma(2^n)$, from left to right.

An antelope is a chess piece which moves similarly to the knight: two cells $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are joined by an antelope move if and only if \[ \{|x_1-x_2|,|y_1-y_2|\}=\{3,4\}.\] The numbers from $1$ to $10^{12}$ are placed in the cells of a $10^6\times 10^6$ grid. Let $D$ be the set of all absolute differences of the form $|a-b|$, where $a$ and $b$ are joined by an antelope move in the arrangement. How many arrangements are there such that $D$ contains exactly four elements? Proposed by [i]Nikolai Beluhov[/i], Bulgaria
