Calvin was asked to evaluate $37 + 31 \times a$ for some number $a$. Unfortunately, his paper was tilted 45 degrees, so he mistook multiplication for addition (and vice versa) and evaluated $37 \times 31 + a$ instead. Fortunately, Calvin still arrived at the correct answer while still following the order of operations. For what value of $a$ could this have happened? [i]Ray Li.[/i]

The audience shuffles a deck of $36$ cards, containing $9$ cards in each of the suits spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. A magician predicts the suit of the cards, one at a time, starting with the uppermost one in the face-down deck. The design on the back of each card is an arrow. An assistant examines the deck without changing the order of the cards, and points the arrow on the back each card either towards or away from the magician, according to some system agreed upon in advance with the magician. Is there such a system which enables the magician to guarantee the correct prediction of the suit of at least (a) $19$ cards; (b) $20$ cards?

The center $O$ of the circle $\omega$ passing through the vertex $C$ of the isosceles triangle $ABC$ ($AB = AC$) is the interior point of the triangle $ABC$.

Prove that the center of the circumcircle of the triangle $BDF$ lies on the circle $\Omega$.

A Dyck $n$-path is a lattice path of $n$ upsteps $(1, 1)$ and $n$ downsteps $(1, -1)$ that starts at the origin $O$ and never dips below the $x$-axis. A return is a maximal sequence of contiguous downsteps that terminates on the $x$-axis. For example, the Dyck $5$-path illustrated has two returns, of length $3$ and $1$ respectively. Show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the Dyck $n$-paths with no return of even length and the Dyck $(n - 1)$ paths. \[\begin{picture}(165,70) \put(-5,0){O} \put(0,10){\line(1,0){150}} \put(0,10){\line(1,1){30}} \put(30,40){\line(1,-1){15}} \put(45,25){\line(1,1){30}} \put(75,55){\line(1,-1){45}} \put(120,10){\line(1,1){15}} \put(135,25){\line(1,-1){15}} \put(0,10){\circle{1}}\put(0,10){\circle{2}}\put(0,10){\circle{3}}\put(0,10){\circle{4}} \put(15,25){\circle{1}}\put(15,25){\circle{2}}\put(15,25){\circle{3}}\put(15,25){\circle{4}} \put(30,40){\circle{1}}\put(30,40){\circle{2}}\put(30,40){\circle{3}}\put(30,40){\circle{4}} \put(45,25){\circle{1}}\put(45,25){\circle{2}}\put(45,25){\circle{3}}\put(45,25){\circle{4}} \put(60,40){\circle{1}}\put(60,40){\circle{2}}\put(60,40){\circle{3}}\put(60,40){\circle{4}} \put(75,55){\circle{1}}\put(75,55){\circle{2}}\put(75,55){\circle{3}}\put(75,55){\circle{4}} \put(90,40){\circle{1}}\put(90,40){\circle{2}}\put(90,40){\circle{3}}\put(90,40){\circle{4}} \put(105,25){\circle{1}}\put(105,25){\circle{2}}\put(105,25){\circle{3}}\put(105,25){\circle{4}} \put(120,10){\circle{1}}\put(120,10){\circle{2}}\put(120,10){\circle{3}}\put(120,10){\circle{4}} \put(135,25){\circle{1}}\put(135,25){\circle{2}}\put(135,25){\circle{3}}\put(135,25){\circle{4}} \put(150,10){\circle{1}}\put(150,10){\circle{2}}\put(150,10){\circle{3}}\put(150,10){\circle{4}} \end{picture}\]
