Let \(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots\) be an infinite sequence of positive integers with the following properties:
- \(a_0\) is a given positive integer;
- For each integer \(n \geq 1\), \(a_n\) is the smallest integer greater than \(a_{n-1}\) such that \(a_n + a_{n-1}\) is a perfect square.
For example, if \(a_0 = 3\), then \(a_1 = 6\), \(a_2 = 10\), \(a_3 = 15\), and so on.
(a) Let \(T\) be the set of numbers of the form \(a_k - a_l\), with \(k \geq l \geq 0\) integers.
Prove that, regardless of the value of \(a_0\), the number of positive integers not in \(T\) is finite.
(b) Calculate, as a function of \(a_0\), the number of positive integers that are not in \(T\).

Six boys and six girls are participating at a tango course. They meet every evening for three weeks (a total of 21 times). Each evening, at least one boy-girl pair is selected to dance in front of the others. At the end of the three weeks, every boy-girl pair has been selected at least once.

Carissa is crossing a very, very, very wide street, and did not properly check both ways before doing so. (Don't be like Carissa!) She initially begins walking at $2$ feet per second. Suddenly, she hears a car approaching, and begins running, eventually making it safely to the other side, half a minute after she began crossing. Given that Carissa always runs $n$ times as fast as she walks and that she spent $n$ times as much time running as she did walking, and given that the street is $260$ feet wide, find Carissa's running speed, in feet per second.

Let $B$ and $C$ be two fixed points on a circle centered at $O$ that are not diametrically opposed. Let $A$ be a variable point on the circle distinct from $B$ and $C$ and not belonging to the perpendicular bisector of $BC$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $\triangle ABC$, and $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the segments $BC$ and $AH$, respectively. The line $AM$ intersects the circle again at $D$, and finally, $NM$ and $OD$ intersect at $P$. Determine the locus of points $P$ as $A$ moves around the circle.
