[b]p8.[/b] Brooke is driving a car at a steady speed. When she passes a stopped police officer, she begins decelerating at a rate of $10$ miles per hour per minute until she reaches the speed limit of $25$ miles per hour.

If the police officer catches up to Brooke after 3 minutes, how fast was Brooke driving initially?

In a mathematics competition, the sum of the scores of Bill and Dick equalled the sum of the scores of Ann and Carol. If the scores of Bill and Carol had been interchanged, then the sum of the scores of Ann and Carol would have exceeded the sum of the scores of the other two. Also, Dick's score exceeded the sum of the scores of Bill and Carol. Determine the order in which the four contestants finished, from highest to lowest. Assume all scores were nonnegative.

A board $64$ inches long and $4$ inches high is inclined so that the long side of the board makes a $30$ degree angle with the ground. The distance from the ground to the highest point on the board can be expressed in the form $a+b\sqrt{c}$ where $a,b,c$ are positive integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $a+b+c$?

Let $AB$ be a diameter of a circle $(\omega)$ with centre $O$. From an arbitrary point $M$ on $AB$ such that $MA < MB$ we draw the circles $(\omega_1)$ and $(\omega_2)$ with diameters $AM$ and $BM$ respectively. Let $CD$ be an exterior common tangent of $(\omega_1), (\omega_2)$ such that $C$ belongs to $(\omega_1)$ and $D$ belongs to $(\omega_2)$. The point $E$ is diametrically opposite to $C$ with respect to $(\omega_1)$ and the tangent to $(\omega_1)$ at the point $E$ intersects $(\omega_2)$ at the points $F, G$. If the line of the common chord of the circumcircles of the triangles $CED$ and $CFG$ intersects the circle $(\omega)$ at the points $K, L$ and the circle $(\omega_2)$ at the point $N$ (with $N$ closer to $L$), then prove that $KC = NL$.

Let $n\geqslant 2$ be a positive integer. Paul has a $1\times n^2$ rectangular strip consisting of $n^2$ unit squares, where the $i^{\text{th}}$ square is labelled with $i$ for all $1\leqslant i\leqslant n^2$. He wishes to cut the strip into several pieces, where each piece consists of a number of consecutive unit squares, and then [i]translate[/i] (without rotating or flipping) the pieces to obtain an $n\times n$ square satisfying the following property: if the unit square in the $i^{\text{th}}$ row and $j^{\text{th}}$ column is labelled with $a_{ij}$, then $a_{ij}-(i+j-1)$ is divisible by $n$.
Determine the smallest number of pieces Paul needs to make in order to accomplish this.

Equilateral triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ has side length $12$ and equilateral triangles of side lengths $a, b, c < 6$ are each cut from a vertex of $\vartriangle ABC$, leaving behind an equiangular hexagon $A_1A_2B_1B_2C_1C_2$, where $A_1$ lies on $AC$, $A_2$ lies on $AB$, and the rest of the vertices are similarly defined. Let $A_3$ be the midpoint of $A_1A_2$ and define $B_3$, $C_3$ similarly. Let the center of $\vartriangle ABC$ be $O$. Note that $OA_3$, $OB_3$, $OC_3$ split the hexagon into three pentagons. If the sum of the areas of the equilateral triangles cut out is $18\sqrt3$ and the ratio of the areas of the pentagons is $5 : 6 : 7$, what is the value of $abc$?
