2014 Tournament of Towns., 4

The King called two wizards. He ordered First Wizard to write down $100$ positive integers (not necessarily distinct) on cards without revealing them to Second Wizard. Second Wizard must correctly determine all these integers, otherwise both wizards will lose their heads. First Wizard is allowed to provide Second Wizard with a list of distinct integers, each of which is either one of the integers on the cards or a sum of some of these integers. He is not allowed to tell which integers are on the cards and which integers are their sums. If Second Wizard correctly determines all $100$ integers the King tears as many hairs from each wizard's beard as the number of integers in the list given to Second Wizard. What is the minimal number of hairs each wizard should sacri ce to stay alive?

Esmeralda has created a special knight to play on quadrilateral boards that are identical to chessboards. If a knight is in a square then it can move to another square by moving 1 square in one direction and 3 squares in a perpendicular direction (which is a diagonal of a $2\times4$ rectangle instead of $2\times3$ like in chess). In this movement, it doesn't land on the squares between the beginning square and the final square it lands on. A trip of the length $n$ of the knight is a sequence of $n$ squares $C1, C2, ..., Cn$ which are all distinct such that the knight starts at the $C1$ square and for each $i$ from $1$ to $n-1$ it can use the movement described before to go from the $Ci$ square to the $C(i+1)$. Determine the greatest $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that there exists a path of the knight with length $N$ on a $5\times5$ board.

Let $O$ be a point outside a given circle. Two lines $OAB, OCD$ through $O$ meet the circle at $A,B,C,D$, where $A,C$ are the midpoints of $OB,OD$, respectively. Additionally, the acute angle $\theta$ between the lines is equal to the acute angle at which each line cuts the circle. Find $\cos \theta$ and show that the tangents at $A,D$ to the circle meet on the line $BC.$

In the Cartesian plane let $A = (1,0)$ and $B = \left( 2, 2\sqrt{3} \right)$. Equilateral triangle $ABC$ is constructed so that $C$ lies in the first quadrant. Let $P=(x,y)$ be the center of $\triangle ABC$. Then $x \cdot y$ can be written as $\tfrac{p\sqrt{q}}{r}$, where $p$ and $r$ are relatively prime positive integers and $q$ is an integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $p+q+r$.

Let $ n$ and $ k$ be positive integers with $ k \geq n$ and $ k \minus{} n$ an even number. Let $ 2n$ lamps labelled $ 1$, $ 2$, ..., $ 2n$ be given, each of which can be either [i]on[/i] or [i]off[/i]. Initially all the lamps are off. We consider sequences of steps: at each step one of the lamps is switched (from on to off or from off to on). Let $ N$ be the number of such sequences consisting of $ k$ steps and resulting in the state where lamps $ 1$ through $ n$ are all on, and lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ are all off. Let $ M$ be number of such sequences consisting of $ k$ steps, resulting in the state where lamps $ 1$ through $ n$ are all on, and lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ are all off, but where none of the lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ is ever switched on. Determine $ \frac {N}{M}$. [i]Author: Bruno Le Floch and Ilia Smilga, France[/i]
