In triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ with orthocenter $H$, the internal angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersects $\overline{BC}$ at $Y$ . Given that $AH = 4$, $AY = 6$, and the distance from $Y$ to $\overline{AC}$ is $\sqrt{15}$, compute $BC$.

$a > 0$ and $b$, $c$ are integers such that $ac$ – $b^2$ is a square-free positive integer P. [hide="For example"] P could be $3*5$, but not $3^2*5$.[/hide] Let $f(n)$ be the number of pairs of integers $d, e$ such that $ad^2 + 2bde + ce^2= n$. Show that$f(n)$ is finite and that $f(n) = f(P^{k}n)$ for every positive integer $k$. [b]Original Statement:[/b] Let $a,b,c$ be given integers $a > 0,$ $ac-b^2 = P = P_1 \cdots P_n$ where $P_1 \cdots P_n$ are (distinct) prime numbers. Let $M(n)$ denote the number of pairs of integers $(x,y)$ for which \[ ax^2 + 2bxy + cy^2 = n. \] Prove that $M(n)$ is finite and $M(n) = M(P_k \cdot n)$ for every integer $k \geq 0.$ Note that the "$n$" in $P_N$ and the "$n$" in $M(n)$ do not have to be the same.

For dessert, Melinda eats a spherical scoop of ice cream with diameter $2$ inches. She prefers to eat her ice cream in cube-like shapes, however. She has a special machine which, given a sphere placed in space, cuts it through the planes $x = n$, $y = n$, and $z = n$ for every integer $n$ (not necessarily positive). Melinda centers the scoop of ice cream uniformly at random inside the cube $0 \le x, y,z \le 1$, and then cuts it into pieces using her machine. What is the expected number of pieces she cuts the ice cream into?

The number $n$ is called a composite number if it can be written in the form $n = a\times b$, where $a, b$ are positive integers greater than $1$. Write number $2013$ in a sum of $m$ composite numbers. What is the largest value of $m$? (A): $500$, (B): $501$, (C): $502$, (D): $503$, (E): None of the above.

Laura has $2010$ lamps connected with $2010$ buttons in front of her. For each button, she wants to know the corresponding lamp. In order to do this, she observes which lamps are lit when Richard presses a selection of buttons. (Not pressing anything is also a possible selection.) Richard always presses the buttons simultaneously, so the lamps are lit simultaneously, too. a) If Richard chooses the buttons to be pressed, what is the maximum number of different combinations of buttons he can press until Laura can assign the buttons to the lamps correctly? b) Supposing that Laura will choose the combinations of buttons to be pressed, what is the minimum number of attempts she has to do until she is able to associate the buttons with the lamps in a correct way?

In a certain country $10\%$ of the employees get $90\%$ of the total salary paid in this country. Supposing that the country is divided in several regions, is it possible that in every region the total salary of any 10% of the employees is no greater than $11\%$ of the total salary paid in this region?

Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram with center $O$ such that $\angle BAD <90^o$ and $\angle AOB> 90^o$. Consider points $A_1$ and $B_1$ on the rays $OA$ and $OB$ respectively, such that $A_1B_1$ is parallel to $AB$ and $\angle A_1B_1C = \frac12 \angle ABC$. Prove that $A_1D$ is perpendicular to $B_1C$.

Let $n_1, n_2, \cdots , n_{51}$ be distinct natural numbers each of which has exactly $2023$ positive integer factors. For instance, $2^{2022}$ has exactly $2023$ positive integer factors $1,2, 2^{2}, 2^{3}, \cdots 2^{2021}, 2^{2022}$. Assume that no prime larger than $11$ divides any of the $n_{i}$'s. Show that there must be some perfect cube among the $n_{i}$'s.

Sean enters a classroom in the Memorial Hall and sees a $1$ followed by $2020$ $0$'s on the blackboard. As he is early for class, he decides to go through the digits from right to left and independently erase the $n$th digit from the left with probability $\frac{n-1}{n}$. (In particular, the $1$ is never erased.) Compute the expected value of the number formed from the remaining digits when viewed as a base-$3$ number. (For example, if the remaining number on the board is $1000$, then its value is $27$.)
