Let $T = \{ 1, 2, 3, \dots, 14, 15 \}$. Say that a subset $S$ of $T$ is [i]handy[/i] if the sum of all the elements of $S$ is a multiple of $5$. For example, the empty set is handy (because its sum is 0) and $T$ itself is handy (because its sum is 120). Compute the number of handy subsets of $T$.

Say that two sets of positive integers $S, T$ are $\emph{k-equivalent}$ if the sum of the $i$th powers of elements of $S$ equals the sum of the $i$th powers of elements of $T$, for each $i= 1, 2, \ldots, k$. Given $k$, prove that there are infinitely many numbers $N$ such that $\{1,2,\ldots,N^{k+1}\}$ can be divided into $N$ subsets, all of which are $k$-equivalent to each other.

Goodnik writes 10 numbers on the board, then Nogoodnik writes 10 more numbers, all 20 of the numbers being positive and distinct. Can Goodnik choose his 10 numbers so that no matter what Nogoodnik writes, he can form 10 quadratic trinomials of the form $x^2 +px+q$, whose coeficients $p$ and $q$ run through all of the numbers written, such that the real roots of these trinomials comprise exactly 11 values?

In a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other and they intersect at $E$. Let $P$ be a point on the side $AD$ which is different from $A$ such that $PE=EC.$ The circumcircle of triangle $BCD$ intersects the side $AD$ at $Q$ where $Q$ is also different from $A$. The circle, passing through $A$ and tangent to line $EP$ at $P$, intersects the line segment $AC$ at $R$. If the points $B, R, Q$ are concurrent then show that $\angle BCD=90^{\circ}$.

A grasshopper rests on the point $(1,1)$ on the plane. Denote by $O,$ the origin of coordinates. From that point, it jumps to a certain lattice point under the condition that, if it jumps from a point $A$ to $B,$ then the area of $\triangle AOB$ is equal to $\frac 12.$ $(a)$ Find all the positive integral poijnts $(m,n)$ which can be covered by the grasshopper after a finite number of steps, starting from $(1,1).$ $(b)$ If a point $(m,n)$ satisfies the above condition, then show that there exists a certain path for the grasshopper to reach $(m,n)$ from $(1,1)$ such that the number of jumps does not exceed $|m-n|.$
