A simple pendulum experiment is constructed from a point mass $m$ attached to a pivot by a massless rod of length $L$ in a constant gravitational field. The rod is released from an angle $\theta_0 < \frac{\pi}{2}$ at rest and the period of motion is found to be $T_0$. Ignore air resistance and friction. At what angle $\theta_g$ during the swing is the tension in the rod the greatest? $\textbf{(A) } \text{The tension is greatest at } \theta_g = \theta_0.\\ \textbf{(B) } \text{The tension is greatest at }\theta_g = 0.\\ \textbf{(C) } \text{The tension is greatest at an angle } 0 < \theta_g < \theta_0.\\ \textbf{(D) } \text{The tension is constant.}\\ \textbf{(E) } \text{None of the above is true for all values of } \theta_0 \text{ with } 0 < \theta_{0} < \frac{\pi}{2}$

Suppose that $S$ is a finite set of positive integers. If the greatest integer in $S$ is removed from $S$, then the average value (arithmetic mean) of the integers remaining is $32$. If the least integer is $S$ is [i]also[/i] removed, then the average value of the integers remaining is $35$. If the greatest integer is then returned to the set, the average value of the integers rises to $40$. The greatest integer in the original set $S$ is $72$ greater than the least integer in $S$.

A copsychus and a sparrow, each initially located at one of the vertex of a regular polygon with $103$ edges, fly clockwise to another vertex each. The copsychus moves across $\ell$ edges each time while the sparrow moves through$ d$ edges of the polygon, where $\ell \ne d$ are both integers less than $103$. Assume that, during their journeys, the copsychus has stopped at $m$ vertices while sparrow has stopped at $n$ vertices of the polygon, for $m \ge n \ge 3$. Determine the value of $m, n$ given that there is only one common single vertex of the polygon that both of birds have stopped at, and there is only one vertex that neither of the birds have reached.

On a plane, Bob chooses 3 points $A_0$, $B_0$, $C_0$ (not necessarily distinct) such that $A_0B_0+B_0C_0+C_0A_0=1$. Then he chooses points $A_1$, $B_1$, $C_1$ (not necessarily distinct) in such a way that $A_1B_1=A_0B_0$ and $B_1C_1=B_0C_0$. Next he chooses points $A_2$, $B_2$, $C_2$ as a permutation of points $A_1$, $B_1$, $C_1$. Finally, Bob chooses points $A_3$, $B_3$, $C_3$ (not necessarily distinct) in such a way that $A_3B_3=A_2B_2$ and $B_3C_3=B_2C_2$. What are the smallest and the greatest possible values of $A_3B_3+B_3C_3+C_3A_3$ Bob can obtain?
