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 $abc$?

A retiring employee receives and annual pension proportional to the square root of the number of years of his service. Had he served $a$ years more, his pension would have been $p$ dollars greater, whereas, had he served $b$ years more $b\neq a$, his pension would have been $q$ dollars greater than the original annual pension. Find his annual pension in terms of $a,b,p,$ and $q$. $\textbf{(A) }\dfrac{p^2-q^2}{2(a-b)}\qquad\textbf{(B) }\dfrac{(p-q)^2}{2\sqrt{ab}}\qquad\textbf{(C) }\dfrac{ap^2-bq^2}{2(ap-bq)}\qquad\textbf{(D) }\dfrac{aq^2-bp^2}{2(bp-aq)}\qquad \textbf{(E) }\sqrt{(a-b)(p-q)}$

The sequence of Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ is defined by $F_0 = F_1 = 1 $ and $F_{n+2} = F_n+F_{n+1}$ for all $n > 0$. For example, we have $F_2 = F_0 + F_1 = 2, F_3 = F_1 + F_2 = 3, F_4 = F_2 + F_3 = 5$, and $F_5 = F_3 + F_4 = 8$. The sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$ is defined by $a_n =\frac{1}{F_nF_{n+2}}$ for all $n \ge 0$. Prove that for all $m \ge 0$ we have: $a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_m < 1$.

The number $1234567890$ is written on the blackboard. Two players $A$ and $B$ play the following game taking alternate moves. In one move, a player erases the number which is written on the blackboard, say, $m$, subtracts from $m$ any positive integer not exceeding the sum of the digits of $m$ and writes the obtained result instead of $m$. The first player who reduces the number written on the blackboard to $0$ wins. Determine which of the players has the winning strategy if the player $A$ makes the first move.
