Find all integers $n$, such that the following number is a perfect square \[N= n^4 + 6n^3 + 11n^2 +3n+31. \]

For real numbers $a$ and $b$, define the sequence $\{x_{a,b}(n)\}$ as follows: $x_{a,b}(1)=a$, $x_{a,b}(2)=b$, and for $n>1$, $x_{a,b}(n+1)=(x_{a+b}(n-1))^2+(x_{a,b}(n))^2$. For real numbers $c$ and $d$, define the sequence $\{y_{c,d}(n)\}$ as follows: $y_{c,d}(1)=c$, $y_{c,d}(2)=d$, and for $n>1$, $y_{c,d}(n+1)=(y_{c,d}(n-1)+y_{c,d}(n))^2$. Call $(a,b,c)$ a good triple if there exists $d$ such that for all $n$ sufficiently large, $y_{c,d}(n)=(x_{a,b}(n))^2$. For some $(a,b)$ there are exactly three values of $c$ that make $(a,b,c)$ a good triple. Among these pairs $(a,b)$, compute the maximum value of $\lfloor 100(a+b)\rfloor$.

A mathematician investigates methods of finding area of a convex quadrilateral obtains the following formula for the area $A$ of a quadrilateral with consecutive sides $a,b,c,d$: $A =\frac{a+c}{2}\frac{b+d}{2}$ (1) and $A = \sqrt{(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)(p-d)}$ (2) where $p = (a+b+c+d)/2$. However, these formulas are not valid for all convex quadrilaterals. Prove that (1) holds if and only if the quadrilateral is a rectangle, while (2) holds if and only if the quadrilateral is cyclic.

In the $8\times 8$ grid shown, fill in $12$ of the grid cells with the numbers $1-12$ so that the following conditions are satisfied: [list] [*]Each cell contains at most one number, and each number from $1-12$ is used exactly once. [*]Two cells that both contain numbers may not touch, even at a point. [*]A clue outside the grid pointing at a row or column gives the sum of all the numbers in that row or column. Rows and columns without clues have an unknown sum.[/list] You do not need to prove that your configuration is the only one possible; you merely need to find a configuration 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.)
