Convex equiangular hexagon $ABCDEF$ has $AB=CD=EF=1$ and $BC = DE = FA = 4$. Congruent and pairwise externally tangent circles $\gamma_1$, $\gamma_2$, and $\gamma_3$ are drawn such that $\gamma_1$ is tangent to side $\overline{AB}$ and side $\overline{BC}$, $\gamma_2$ is tangent to side $\overline{CD}$ and side $\overline{DE}$, and $\gamma_3$ is tangent to side $\overline{EF}$ and side $\overline{FA}$. Then the area of $\gamma_1$ can be expressed as $\frac{m\pi}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Compute $100m+n$.

Suppose $x_1,x_2,x_3,\dotsc$ is a strictly decreasing sequence of positive real numbers such that the series $x_1+x_2+x_3+\cdots$ diverges.
Is it necessary true that the series $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}{\min \left\{ x_n,\frac{1}{n\log (n)}\right\} }$ diverges?

Cynthia loves Pokemon and she wants to catch them all. In Victory Road, there are a total of $80$ Pokemon. Cynthia wants to catch as many of them as possible. However, she cannot catch any two Pokemon that are enemies with each other. After exploring around for a while, she makes the following two observations:
1. Every Pokemon in Victory Road is enemies with exactly two other Pokemon.
2. Due to her inability to catch Pokemon that are enemies with one another, the maximum number of the Pokemon she can catch is equal to $n$.
What is the sum of all possible values of $n$?

While working with some data for the Iowa City Hospital, James got up to get a drink of water. When he returned, his computer displayed the “blue screen of death” (it had crashed). While rebooting his computer, James remembered that he was nearly done with his calculations since the last time he saved his data. He also kicked himself for not saving before he got up from his desk. He had computed three positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$, and recalled that their product is $24$, but he didn’t remember the values of the three integers themselves. What he really needed was their sum. He knows that the sum is an even two-digit integer less than $25$ with fewer than $6$ divisors. Help James by computing $a+b+c$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that at least one of the integers $[2^n \cdot \sqrt2]$, $[2^{n+1} \cdot \sqrt2]$, $...$, $[2^{2n} \cdot \sqrt2]$ is even, where $[a]$ denotes the integer part of $a$.

Integers are written in the cells of a table $2010 \times 2010$. Adding $1$ to all the numbers in a row or in a column is called a [i]move[/i]. We say that a table is [i]equilibrium[/i] if one can obtain after finitely many moves a table in which all the numbers are equal.
[list=a]
[*]Find the largest positive integer $n$, for which there exists an [i]equilibrium[/i] table containing the numbers $2^0, 2^1, \ldots , 2^n$.
[*] For this $n$, find the maximal number that may be contained in such a table.

In an infinite sequence $a_1, a_2, a_3, \cdots$, the number $a_1$ equals $1$, and each $a_n, n > 1$, is obtained from $a_{n-1}$ as follows:
[list]- if the greatest odd divisor of $n$ has residue $1$ modulo $4$, then $a_n = a_{n-1} + 1,$
- and if this residue equals $3$, then $a_n = a_{n-1} - 1.$[/list]
Prove that in this sequence
[b](a) [/b] the number $1$ occurs infinitely many times;
[b](b)[/b] each positive integer occurs infinitely many times.

A sequence $(a_1, a_2,\ldots, a_k)$ consisting of pairwise distinct squares of an $n\times n$ chessboard is called a [i]cycle[/i] if $k\geq 4$ and squares $a_i$ and $a_{i+1}$ have a common side for all $i=1,2,\ldots, k$, where $a_{k+1}=a_1$. Subset $X$ of this chessboard's squares is [i]mischievous[/i] if each cycle on it contains at least one square in $X$.
Determine all real numbers $C$ with the following property: for each integer $n\geq 2$, on an $n\times n$ chessboard there exists a mischievous subset consisting of at most $Cn^2$ squares.
