Let $ABC$ to be an acute triangle. Also, let $K$ and $L$ to be the two intersections of the perpendicular from $B$ with respect to side $AC$ with the circle of diameter $AC$, with $K$ closer to $B$ than $L$.

Prove that the intersection of $XL$ and $KY$ lies on $BC$.

Ankit, Bill, Charlie, Druv, and Ed are playing a game in which they go around shouting numbers in that order. Ankit starts by shouting the number $1$. Bill adds a number that is a factor of the number of letters in his name to Ankit’s number and shouts the result. Charlie does the same with Bill’s number, and so on (once Ed shouts a number, Ankit does the same procedure to Ed’s number, and the game goes on). What is the sum of all possible numbers that can be the $23$rd shout?

The amount $2.5$ is split into two nonnegative real numbers uniformly at random, for instance, into $2.143$ and $.357$, or into $\sqrt{3}$ and $2.5-\sqrt{3}.$ Then each number is rounded to its nearest integer, for instance, $2$ and $0$ in the first case above, $2$ and $1$ in the second. What is the probability that the two integers sum to $3$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{4} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{2}{5} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{1}{2} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{3}{5} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{3}{4} $

Baron and Peter are playing a game. They are given a simple finite graph $G$ with $n\ge 3$ vertex and $k$ edges that connects the vertices. First Peter labels two vertices A and B, and places a counter at A. Baron starts first. A move for Baron is move the counter along an edge. Peter's move is to remove an edge from the graph. Baron wins if he reaches $B$, otherwise Peter wins. Given the value of $n$, what is the largest $k$ so that Peter can always win?
