There is a WORD game with the following rules. There are finite number of relations $U_{i}\longrightarrow V_{i}$($U_{i},V_{i}$ are words). There is are two words $A,B$. We start from $A$, and we want to reach to $B$. At each step we can change one subword $U_{i}$ to $V_{i}$. Prove that there does not exist an algorithm that picks up $A,B$ and $U_{i}$'s,$V_{i}$'s and decides whether we can reach from $A$ to $B$ or not.

Players $A$ and $B$ play the following game on the coordinate plane. Player $A$ hides a nut at one of the points with integer coordinates, and player $B$ tries to find this hidden nut. In one move $B$ can choose three different points with integer coordinates, then $A$ tells whether these three points together with the nut's point lie on the same circle or not. Can $B$ be guaranteed to find the nut in a finite number of moves?

Let $f(X)$ be a monic irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{Z}$; therefore, by Gauss's Lemma, $f$ is also irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ (you may assume this). Moreover, assume $f(X) \mid f\left(X^2+n\right)$ where $n$ is an integer such that $n \notin\{-1,0,1\}$. Show that $n^2 \nmid f(0)$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incircle $\omega$, incenter $I$ and circumcircle $\Gamma$. Let $D$ be the tangency point of $\omega$ with $BC$, let $M$ be the midpoint of $ID$, and let $A'$ be the diametral opposite of $A$ with respect to $\Gamma$. If we denote $X=A'M\cap \Gamma$, then prove that the circumcircle of triangle $AXD$ is tangent to $BC$.

Sam and Jonathan play a game where they take turns flipping a weighted coin, and the game ends when one of them wins. The coin has a $\frac89$ chance of landing heads and a $\frac19$ chance of landing tails. Sam wins when he flips heads, and Jonathan wins when he flips tails. Find the probability that Samwins, given that he takes the first turn.

A man named Juan has three rectangular solids, each having volume $128$. Two of the faces of one solid have areas $4$ and $32$. Two faces of another solid have areas $64$ and $16$. Finally, two faces of the last solid have areas $8$ and $32$. What is the minimum possible exposed surface area of the tallest tower Juan can construct by stacking his solids one on top of the other, face to face? (Assume that the base of the tower is not exposed.)
