Let $B = (-1, 0)$ and $C = (1, 0)$ be fixed points on the coordinate plane. A nonempty, bounded subset $S$ of the plane is said to be [i]nice[/i] if $\text{(i)}$ there is a point $T$ in $S$ such that for every point $Q$ in $S$, the segment $TQ$ lies entirely in $S$; and $\text{(ii)}$ for any triangle $P_1P_2P_3$, there exists a unique point $A$ in $S$ and a permutation $\sigma$ of the indices $\{1, 2, 3\}$ for which triangles $ABC$ and $P_{\sigma(1)}P_{\sigma(2)}P_{\sigma(3)}$ are similar. Prove that there exist two distinct nice subsets $S$ and $S'$ of the set $\{(x, y) : x \geq 0, y \geq 0\}$ such that if $A \in S$ and $A' \in S'$ are the unique choices of points in $\text{(ii)}$, then the product $BA \cdot BA'$ is a constant independent of the triangle $P_1P_2P_3$.

In a country with $2015$ cities there is exactly one two-way flight between each city. The three flights made between three cities belong to at most two different airline companies. No matter how the flights are shared between some number of companies, if there is always a city in which $k$ flights belong to the same airline, what is the maximum value of $k$?

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $BC > AB$, such that the points $A$, $H$, $I$ and $C$ are concyclic (where $H$ is the orthocenter and $I$ is the incenter of triangle $ABC$). The line $AC$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $BHC$ at point $T$, and the line $BC$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $AHC$ at point $P$. If the lines $PT$ and $HI$ are parallel, determine the measures of the angles of triangle $ABC$.

Josie and Ross are playing a game on a $20 \times 20$ chessboard. Initially the chessboard is empty. The two players alternately take turns, with Josie going first. On Josie’s turn, she selects any two different empty cells, and places one white stone in each of them. On Ross’ turn, he chooses any one white stone currently on the board, and replaces it with a black stone. If at any time there are $ 8$ consecutive cells in a line (horizontally or vertically) all of which contain a white stone, Josie wins. Is it possible that Ross can stop Josie winning - regardless of how Josie plays?

We say that a subset $A$ of $\mathbb N$ is good if for some positive integer $n$, the equation $x-y=n$ admits infinitely many solutions with $x,y\in A$. If $A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_{100}$ are sets whose union is $\mathbb N$, prove that at least one of the $A_i$s is good.

Given distinct positive integers \( g \) and \( h \), let all integer points on the number line \( OX \) be vertices. Define a directed graph \( G \) as follows: for any integer point \( x \), \( x \rightarrow x + g \), \( x \rightarrow x - h \). For integers \( k, l (k < l) \), let \( G[k, l] \) denote the subgraph of \( G \) with vertices limited to the interval \([k, l]\). Find the largest positive integer \( \alpha \) such that for any integer \( r \), the subgraph \( G[r, r + \alpha - 1] \) of \( G \) is acyclic. Clarify the structure of subgraphs \( G[r, r + \alpha - 1] \) and \( G[r, r + \alpha] \) (i.e., how many connected components and what each component is like).

A pharmaceutical company produces a disease test that has a $95\%$ accuracy rate on individuals who actually have an infection, and a $90\%$ accuracy rate on individuals who do not have an infection. They use their test on a population of mathletes, of which $2\%$ actually have an infection. If a test concludes that a mathlete has an infection, then the probability that the mathlete actually does have an infection is $\tfrac{a}{b},$ where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a + b.$
