Let $ABCD$ be a square pyramid of height $\frac{1}{2}$ with square base $ABCD$ of side length $AB=12$ (so $E$ is the vertex of the pyramid, and the foot of the altitude from $E$ to $ABCD$ is the center of square $ABCD$). The faces $ADE$ and $CDE$ meet at an acute angle of measure $\alpha$ (so that $0^{\circ}<\alpha<90^{\circ}$). Find $\tan \alpha$.

A square is inscribed in an ellipse such that two sides of the square respectively pass through the two foci of the ellipse. The square has a side length of $4$. The square of the length of the minor axis of the ellipse can be written in the form $a + b\sqrt{c}$ where $a, b$, and $c$ are integers, and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find the sum $a + b + c$.

p1. A set of cards contains $100$ cards, each of which is written with a number from $1$ up to $100$. On each of the two sides of the card the same number is written, side one is red and the other is green. First of all Leny arranges all the cards with red writing face up. Then Leny did the following three steps: I. Turn over all cards whose numbers are divisible by $2$ II. Turn over all the cards whose numbers are divisible by $3$ III. Turning over all the cards whose numbers are divisible by $5$, but didn't turn over all cards whose numbers are divisible by $5$ and $2$. Find the number of Leny cards now numbered in red and face up, p2. Find the area of ​​three intersecting semicircles as shown in the following image.

A natural number is called a [i]quaprimal [/i] number if it satisfies all four following conditions: i. Does not contain zeros. ii. The digits compiling the number are different. iii. The first number and the last number are prime numbers or squares of an integer. iv. Each pair of consecutive numbers forms a prime number or square of an integer. For example, we check the number $971643$. (i) $971643$ does not contain zeros. (ii) The digits who compile $971643$ are different. (iii) One first number and one last number of $971643$, namely $9$ and $3$ is a prime number or a square of an integer. (iv) Each pair of consecutive numbers, namely $97, 71, 16, 64$, and $43$ form prime number or square of an integer. So $971643$ is a quadratic number. Find the largest $6$-digit quaprimal number. Find the smallest $6$-digit quaprimal number. Which digit is never contained in any arbitrary quaprimal number? Explain.

There are two equal non-intersecting circles on a plane. Two lines were drawn. Each of the lines intersects the circles at four points so that the three segments formed on each of the lines are equal (segments with ends at adjacent points of intersection are considered). For one line these segments have length $a$, for the other they have length $b$ ($a < b$). Find the radius of the circles.

Let $T$ be the triangle in the coordinate plane with vertices $\left(0,0\right)$, $\left(4,0\right)$, and $\left(0,3\right)$. Consider the following five isometries (rigid transformations) of the plane: rotations of $90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, and $270^{\circ}$ counterclockwise around the origin, reflection across the $x$-axis, and reflection across the $y$-axis. How many of the $125$ sequences of three of these transformations (not necessarily distinct) will return $T$ to its original position? (For example, a $180^{\circ}$ rotation, followed by a reflection across the $x$-axis, followed by a reflection across the $y$-axis will return $T$ to its original position, but a $90^{\circ}$ rotation, followed by a reflection across the $x$-axis, followed by another reflection across the $x$-axis will not return $T$ to its original position.) $\textbf{(A) } 12\qquad\textbf{(B) } 15\qquad\textbf{(C) }17 \qquad\textbf{(D) }20 \qquad\textbf{(E) }25$

Let \( n \) be a positive integer. A function \( f : \{0, 1, \dots, n\} \to \{0, 1, \dots, n\} \) is called \( n \)-Bolivian if it satisfies the following conditions: • \( f(0) = 0 \); • \( f(t) \in \{ t-1, f(t-1), f(f(t-1)), \dots \} \) for all \( t = 1, 2, \dots, n \). For example, if \( n = 3 \), then the function defined by \( f(0) = f(1) = 0 \), \( f(2) = f(3) = 1 \) is 3-Bolivian, but the function defined by \( f(0) = f(1) = f(2) = 0 \), \( f(3) = 1 \) is not 3-Bolivian. For a fixed positive integer \( n \), Gollum selects an \( n \)-Bolivian function. Smeagol, knowing that \( f \) is \( n \)-Bolivian, tries to figure out which function was chosen by asking questions of the type: \[ \text{How many integers } a \text{ are there such that } f(a) = b? \] given a \( b \) of his choice. Show that if Gollum always answers correctly, Smeagol can determine \( f \) and find the minimum number of questions he needs to ask, considering all possible choices of \( f \).
