Tessa has a unit cube, on which each vertex is labeled by a distinct integer between 1 and 8 inclusive. She also has a deck of 8 cards, 4 of which are black and 4 of which are white. At each step she draws a card from the deck, and[list][*]if the card is black, she simultaneously replaces the number on each vertex by the sum of the three numbers on vertices that are distance 1 away from the vertex;[*]if the card is white, she simultaneously replaces the number on each vertex by the sum of the three numbers on vertices that are distance $\sqrt2$ away from the vertex.[/list]When Tessa finishes drawing all cards of the deck, what is the maximum possible value of a number that is on the cube?

A regular hexagon with side length $1$ is given. Using a ruler construct points in such a way that among the given and constructed points there are two such points that the distance between them is $\sqrt7$. Notes: ''Using a ruler construct points $\ldots$'' means: Newly constructed points arise only as the intersection of straight lines connecting two points that are given or already constructed. In particular, no length can be measured by the ruler.

Jo and Blair take turns counting from $1$ to one more than the last number said by the other person. Jo starts by saying "$1$", so Blair follows by saying "$1$, $2$".

Circles $C_1,C_2,$ and $C_3$ have radii $2,3,$ and $6$ respectively. If the fourth circle $C_4$ is the sum of the areas of $C_1,C_2,$ and $C_3,$ compute the radius of $C_4.$ [i]Proposed by Alex Li[/i]

Georg writes a positive integer $a$ on a blackboard. As long as there is a number on the blackboard, he does the following each day: $\bullet$ If the last digit in the number on the blackboard is less than or equal to $5$, he erases that last digit. (If there is only this digit, the blackboard thus becomes empty.) $\bullet$ Otherwise he erases the entire number and writes $9$ times the number. Can Georg choose $a$ in such a way that the blackboard never becomes empty?

Let $E$ be the intersection of$ DB$ with the parallel to the bisector of $\angle CBD$ through $X$ and let $F$ be the intersection of $DC$ with the parallel to the bisector of $\angle DCB$ through $X$.

A box contains $p$ white balls and $q$ black balls. Beside the box there is a pile of black balls. Two balls are taken out of the box. If they have the same color, a black ball from the pile is put into the box. If they have different colors, the white ball is put back into the box. This procedure is repeated until the last two balls are removed from the box and one last ball is put in. What is the probability that this last ball is white?

Call a real-valued function $ f$ [i]very convex[/i] if \[ \frac {f(x) \plus{} f(y)}{2} \ge f\left(\frac {x \plus{} y}{2}\right) \plus{} |x \minus{} y| \] holds for all real numbers $ x$ and $ y$. Prove that no very convex function exists.

A simplified model of a bicycle of mass $M$ has two tires that each comes into contact with the ground at a point. The wheelbase of this bicycle (the distance between the points of contact with the ground) is $w$, and the center of mass of the bicycle is located midway between the tires and a height h above the ground. The bicycle is moving to the right, but slowing down at a constant rate. The acceleration has a magnitude $a$. Air resistance may be ignored.
