[b]p2.[/b] Consider the minute and hour hands of the Campanile, our clock tower. During one single day ($12:00$ AM - $12:00$ AM), how many times will the minute and hour hands form a right-angle at the center of the clock face? [b]p3.[/b] In a regular deck of $52$ face-down cards, Billy flips $18$ face-up and shuffles them back into the deck. Before giving the deck to Penny, Billy tells her how many cards he has flipped over, and blindfolds her so she can’t see the deck and determine where the face-up cards are. Once Penny is given the deck, it is her job to split the deck into two piles so that both piles contain the same number of face-up cards. Assuming that she knows how to do this, how many cards should be in each pile when he is done? [b]p4.[/b] The roots of the equation $x^3 + ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ are three consecutive integers. Find the maximum value of $\frac{a^2}{b+1}$. [b]p5.[/b] Oski has a bag initially filled with one blue ball and one gold ball. He plays the following game: first, he removes a ball from the bag. If the ball is blue, he will put another blue ball in the bag with probability $\frac{1}{437}$ and a gold ball in the bag the rest of the time. If the ball is gold, he will put another gold ball in the bag with probability $\frac{1}{437}$ and a blue ball in the bag the rest of the time. In both cases, he will put the ball he drew back into the bag. Calculate the expected number of blue balls after $525600$ iterations of this game.

If $AB = 10$, $EF = 4$, $FG = 8$, find $BG$. PS. You had better use hide for answers.

In a pond there are $n \geq 3$ stones arranged in a circle. A princess wants to label the stones with the numbers $1, 2, \dots, n$ in some order and then place some toads on the stones. Once all the toads are located, they start jumping clockwise, according to the following rule: when a toad reaches the stone labeled with the number $k$, it waits for $k$ minutes and then jumps to the adjacent stone. What is the greatest number of toads for which the princess can label the stones and place the toads in such a way that at no time are two toads occupying a stone at the same time? [b]Note:[/b] A stone is considered occupied by two toads at the same time only if there are two toads that are on the stone for at least one minute.

Let a ,b and c be positive real numbers such that $a^2+b^2+c^2=3$. Prove that for whatever positive real numbers x y and z, the inequality below holds. $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge \sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}$ At first I noticed $\sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}\le \sqrt{x+y+z}\sqrt{x+y+z}=x+y+z$, so perhaps the next move is to prove $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge x+y+z$, but I don't see how to do that, the best thing that I can do with the LHS of this inequality is to prove it by AM-GM in the way that $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge 3\left(\frac{xyz}{abc}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\ge 3(xyz)^{\frac{1}{3}}$, but this isn't going to be helpful...

Maisy and Jeff are playing a game with a deck of cards with $4$ $0$’s, $4$ $1$’s, $4$ $2$’s, all the way up to $4$ $9$’s. You cannot tell apart cards of the same number. After shuffling the deck, Maisy and Jeff each take $4$ cards, make the largest $4$-digit integer they can, and then compare. The person with the larger $4$-digit integer wins. Jeff goes first and draws the cards $2,0,2,1$ from the deck. Find the number of hands Maisy can draw to beat that, if the order in which she draws the cards matters. [i]Proposed by Richard Chen[/i]
