In triangle $\triangle ABC$ with $BC = 1$, the internal angle bisector of $\angle A$ intersects $BC$ at $D$. $M$ is taken to be the midpoint of $BC$. Point $E$ is chosen on the boundary of $\triangle ABC$ such that $ME$ bisects its perimeter. The circumcircle $\omega$ of $\triangle DEC$ is taken, and the second intersection of $AD$ and $\omega$ is $K$, as well as the second intersection of $ME$ and $\omega$ being $L$. If $B$ lies on line $KL$ and $ED$ is parallel to $AB$, then the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$ can be written as a real number $S$. Compute $\lfloor 1000S\rfloor$. Proposed by Albert Wang (awang11)

Given a positive integer $n$, find the greatest integer $p$ with the property that for any function $f : \mathbb P(X) \to C$, where $X$ and $C$ are sets of cardinality $n$ and $p$, respectively, there exist two distinct sets $A,B \in \mathbb P(X)$ such that $f(A) = f(B) = f(A \cup B)$. ($\mathbb P(X)$ is the family of all subsets of $X$.)

In a sequence of coin tosses, one can keep a record of instances in which a tail is immediately followed by a head, a head is immediately followed by a head, and etc. We denote these by TH, HH, and etc. For example, in the sequence HHTTHHHHTHHTTTT of 15 coin tosses we observe that there are two HH, three HT, four TH, and five TT subsequences. How many different sequences of 15 coin tosses will contain exactly two HH, three HT, four TH, and five TT subsequences?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\Gamma$. Let $D$ be a point on segment $BC$ such that $\angle BAD = \angle DAC$, and let $M$ and $N$ be points on segments $BD$ and $CD$, respectively, such that $\angle MAD = \angle DAN$. Let $S, P$ and $Q$ (all different from $A$) be the intersections of the rays $AD$, $AM$ and $AN$ with $\Gamma$, respectively. Show that the intersection of $SM$ and $QD$ lies on $\Gamma$.

Let $CH$ be the altitude of the triangle $ABC$ drawn on the board, in which $\angle C = 90^o$, $CA \ne CB$. The mathematics teacher drew the perpendicular bisectors of segments$ CA$ and $CB$, which cut the line CH at points $K$ and $M$, respectively, and then erased the drawing, leaving only the points $C, K$ and $M$ on the board. Restore triangle $ABC$, using only a compass and a ruler.

Consider the set $S$ of $100$ numbers: $1; \frac{1}{2}; \frac{1}{3}; ... ; \frac{1}{100}$. Any two numbers, $a$ and $b$, are eliminated in $S$, and the number $a+b+ab$ is added.

Each student in a classroom has $0,1,2,3,4,5$ or $6$ pieces of candy. At each step the teacher chooses some of the students, and gives one piece of candy to each of them and also to any other student in the classroom who is friends with at least one of these students. A student who receives the seventh piece eats all $7$ pieces. Assume that for every pair of students in the classroom, there is at least one student who is friend swith exactly one of them. Show that no matter how many pieces each student has at the beginning, the teacher can make them to have any desired numbers of pieces after finitely many steps.
