You are given a right triangle $ABC$ with $\angle ACB = 90^\circ$. Let $W_A , W_B$ respectively be the midpoints of the smaller arcs $BC$ and $AC$ of the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$, and $N_A , N_B$ respectively be the midpoints of the larger arcs $BC$ and $AC$ of this circle. Denote by $P$ and $Q$ the points of intersection of segment $AB$ with the lines $N_AW_B$ and $N_BW_A$, respectively. Prove that $AP = BQ$. [i]Proposed by Oleksiy Masalitin[/i]

[b]p1.[/b] If $A = 0$, $B = 1$, $C = 2$, $...$, $Z = 25$, then what is the sum of $A + B + M+ C$? [b]p2.[/b] Eric is playing Tetris against Bryan. If Eric wins one-fifth of the games he plays and he plays $15$ games, find the expected number of games Eric will win. [b]p3.[/b] What is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a regular $2023$-gon in degrees? [b]p4.[/b] If $N$ is a base $10$ digit of $90N3$, what value of $N$ makes this number divisible by $477$? [b]p5.[/b] What is the rightmost non-zero digit of the decimal expansion of $\frac{1}{2^{2023}}$ ? [b]p6.[/b] if graphs of $y = \frac54 x + m$ and $y = \frac32 x + n$ intersect at $(16, 27)$, what is the value of $m + n$? [b]p7.[/b] Bryan is hitting the alphabet keys on his keyboard at random. If the probability he spells out ABMC at least once after hitting $6$ keys is $\frac{a}{b^c}$ , for positive integers $a$, $b$, $c$ where $b$, $c$ are both as small as possible, find $a+b+c$. Note that the letters ABMC must be adjacent for it to count: AEBMCC should not be considered as correctly spelling out ABMC. [b]p8.[/b] It takes a Daniel twenty minutes to change a light bulb. It takes a Raymond thirty minutes to change a light bulb. It takes a Bryan forty-five minutes to change a light bulb. In the time that it takes two Daniels, three Raymonds, and one and a half Bryans to change $42$ light bulbs, how many light bulbs could half a Raymond change? Assume half a person can work half as productively as a whole person. [b]p9.[/b] Find the value of $5a + 4b + 3c + 2d + e$ given $a, b, c, d, e$ are real numbers satisfying the following equations: $$a^2 = 2e + 23$$ $$b^2 = 10a - 34$$ $$c^2 = 8b - 23$$ $$d^2 = 6c - 14$$ $$e^2 = 4d - 7.$$ [b]p10.[/b] How many integers between $1$ and $1000$ contain exactly two $1$’s when written in base $2$? [b]p11.[/b] Joe has lost his $2$ sets of keys. However, he knows that he placed his keys in one of his $12$ mailboxes, each labeled with a different positive integer from $1$ to $12$. Joe plans on opening the $2$ mailbox labeled $1$ to see if any of his keys are there. However, a strong gust of wind blows by, opening mailboxes $11$ and $12$, revealing that they are empty. If Joe decides to open one of the mailboxes labeled $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $9$ , or $10$, the probability that he finds at least one of his sets of keys can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$, where a and b are relatively prime positive integers. Find the sum $a + b$. Note that a single mailbox can contain $0$, $1$, or $2$ sets of keys, and the mailboxes his sets of keys were placed in are determined independently at random. [b]p12.[/b] As we all know, the top scientists have recently proved that the Earth is a flat disc. Bob is standing on Earth. If he takes the shortest path to the edge, he will fall off after walking $1$ meter. If he instead turns $90$ degrees away from the shortest path and walks towards the edge, he will fall off after $3$ meters. Compute the radius of the Earth. [b]p13.[/b] There are $999$ numbers that are repeating decimals of the form $0.abcabcabc...$ . The sum of all of the numbers of this form that do not have a $1$ or $2$ in their decimal representation can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a$, $b$. Find $a + b$. [b]p14.[/b] An ant is crawling along the edges of a sugar cube. Every second, it travels along an edge to another adjacent vertex randomly, interested in the sugar it notices. Unfortunately, the cube is about to be added to some scalding coffee! In $10$ seconds, it must return to its initial vertex, so it can get off and escape. If the probability the ant will avoid a tragic doom can be expressed as $\frac{a}{3^{10}}$ , where $a$ is a positive integer, find $a$. Clarification: The ant needs to be on its initial vertex in exactly $10$ seconds, no more or less. [b]p15.[/b] Raymond’s new My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Collector’s book arrived in the mail! The book’s pages measure $4\sqrt3$ inches by $12$ inches, and are bound on the longer side. If Raymond keeps one corner in the same plane as the book, what is the total area one of the corners can travel without ripping the page? If the desired area in square inches is $a\pi+b\sqrt{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are integers and $c$ is squarefree, find $a + b + c$. PS. You should use hide for answers.

(1) Let $ f(x)$ be a continuous function defined on $ [a,\ b]$, it is known that there exists some $ c$ such that \[ \int_a^b f(x)\ dx \equal{} (b \minus{} a)f(c)\ (a < c < b)\] Explain the fact by using graph. Note that you don't need to prove the statement.

One day Joshua and Alexis find their sister Wendy's copy of the $2007$ iTest. They decide to see if they can work any of the problems and are proud to find that indeed they are able to work some of them, but their middle school math team experience is still not enough to help with the harder problems. Alexis comes across a problem she really likes, partly because she has never worked one like it before: \[\text{What is the smallest positive integer }k\text{ such that the number}\binom{2k}k\text{ ends in two zeroes?}\] Joshua is the kind of mathematical explorer who likes to alter problems, make them harder, or generalize them. So, he proposes the following problem to his sister Alexis: \[\text{What is the smallest positive integer }k\text{ such that the number}\binom{2k}k\text{ ends }\text{in two zeroes when expressed in base 12?}\] Alexis solves the problem correctly. What is her answer (expressed in base $10$)?

2015 BAMO, 5

We are given $n$ identical cubes, each of size $1\times 1\times 1$. We arrange all of these $n$ cubes to produce one or more congruent rectangular solids, and let $B(n)$ be the number of ways to do this. For example, if $n=12$, then one arrangement is twelve $1\times1\times1$ cubes, another is one $3\times 2\times2$ solid, another is three $2\times 2\times1$ solids, another is three $4\times1\times1$ solids, etc. We do not consider, say, $2\times2\times1$ and $1\times2\times2$ to be different; these solids are congruent. You may wish to verify, for example, that $B(12) =11$. Find, with proof, the integer $m$ such that $10^m<B(2015^{100})<10^{m+1}$.
