An architect is building a structure that will place vertical pillars at the vertices of regular hexagon $ABCDEF$, which is lying horizontally on the ground. The six pillars will hold up a flat solar panel that will not be parallel to the ground. The heights of the pillars at $A$, $B$, and $C$ are $12,9,$ and $10$ meters, respectively. What is the height, in meters, of the pillar at $E$? $\textbf{(A) }9\qquad\textbf{(B) }6\sqrt3\qquad\textbf{(C) }8\sqrt3\qquad\textbf{(D) }17\qquad\textbf{(E) }12\sqrt3$

Let $f$ be a random permutation on $\{1, 2, \dots, 100\}$ satisfying $f(1) > f(4)$ and $f(9)>f(16)$. The probability that $f(1)>f(16)>f(25)$ can be written as $\frac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100m+n$. Note: In other words, $f$ is a function such that $\{f(1), f(2), \ldots, f(100)\}$ is a permutation of $\{1,2, \ldots, 100\}$. [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle ABC$ and $P$ be a point such that $PI$ is perpendicular to $BC$ and $PA$ is parallel to $BC$. Let the line parallel to $BC$, which is tangent to the incircle of $\triangle ABC$, intersect $AB$ and $AC$ at points $Q$ and $R$ respectively. Prove that $\angle BPQ = \angle CPR$.

We have a $4 \times 4$ squared board. We define the [i]separation [/i] between two squares as the least number of moves that a chess knight must take to go from one square to the other (using moves of the knight). Three boxes $A, B, C$ form a good trio if the three separations between $A$ and $B$, between $A$ and $C$ and between $B$ and $C$ are equal. Determines the number of good trios that are formed on the board. Clarification: In each move the knight moves $2$ squares in the horizontal direction plus one square in the vertical direction or moves $2$ squares in the vertical direction plus one square in the horizontal direction.

2022 Bulgarian Autumn Math Competition, Problem 11.4

The number $2022$ is written on the white board. Ivan and Peter play a game, Ivan starts and they alternate. On a move, Ivan erases the number $b$, written on the board, throws a dice which shows some number $a$, and writes the residue of $(a+b) ^2$ modulo $5$. Similarly, Peter throws a dice which shows some number $a$, and changes the previously written number $b$ to the residue of $a+b$ modulo $3$. The first player to write a $0$ wins. What is the probability of Ivan winning the game?

A positive integer $n$ has the property that there are three positive integers $x, y, z$ such that $\text{lcm}(x, y) = 180$, $\text{lcm}(x, z) = 900$, and $\text{lcm}(y, z) = n$, where $\text{lcm}$ denotes the lowest common multiple. Determine the number of positive integers $n$ with this property.

In a classroom there are $m$ students. During the month of July each of them visited the library at least once but none of them visited the library twice in the same day. It turned out that during the month of July each student visited the library a different number of times, furthermore for any two students $A$ and $B$ there was a day in which $A$ visited the library and $B$ did not and there was also a day when $B$ visited the library and $A$ did not do so. Determine the largest possible value of $m$.
