Let $p$ be a monic cubic polynomial such that $p(0)=1$ and such that all the zeroes of $p^\prime (x)$ are also zeroes of $p(x)$. Find $p$. Note: monic means that the leading coefficient is $1$.

Two players play the following game, using a round table $4$ feet in diameter, and a large pile of quarters. Each player can put in his turn one quarter on the table, but the one who cannot put a quarter (because there is no free space on the table) loses the game. Is there a winning strategy for the first or for the second player?

Three circles in the plane, whose interiors have no common point, meet each other at three pairs of points: $A_1$ and $A_2$, $B_1$ and $B_2$, and $C_1$ and $C_2$, where points $A_2,B_2,C_2$ lie inside the triangle $A_1B_1C_1$. Prove that \[A_1B_2 \cdot B_1C_2 \cdot C_1A_2 = A_1C_2 \cdot C_1B_2 \cdot B_1A_2 .\]

A triangle $ABC$ is given together with an arbitrary circle $\omega$. Let $\alpha$ be the reflection of $\omega$ with respect to $A$, $\beta$ the reflection of $\omega$ with respect to $B$, and $\gamma$ the reflection of $\omega$ with respect to $C$. It is known that the circles $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ don't intersect each other. Let $P$ be the meeting point of the two internal common tangents to $\beta, \gamma$ (see picture). Similarly, $Q$ is the meeting point of the internal common tangents of $\alpha, \gamma$, and $R$ is the meeting point of the internal common tangents of $\alpha, \beta$. Prove that the triangles $PQR, ABC$ are congruent.

Let $ A,B,C,D$ be four points on a circle (occurring in clockwise order), with $ AB<AD$ and $ BC>CD$. The bisectors of angles $ BAD$ and $ BCD$ meet the circle at $ X$ and $ Y$, respectively. Consider the hexagon formed by these six points on the circle. If four of the six sides of the hexagon have equal length, prove that $ BD$ must be a diameter of the circle.

$(GBR 3)$ A smooth solid consists of a right circular cylinder of height $h$ and base-radius $r$, surmounted by a hemisphere of radius $r$ and center $O.$ The solid stands on a horizontal table. One end of a string is attached to a point on the base. The string is stretched (initially being kept in the vertical plane) over the highest point of the solid and held down at the point $P$ on the hemisphere such that $OP$ makes an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. Show that if $\alpha$ is small enough, the string will slacken if slightly displaced and no longer remain in a vertical plane. If then pulled tight through $P$, show that it will cross the common circular section of the hemisphere and cylinder at a point $Q$ such that $\angle SOQ = \phi$, $S$ being where it initially crossed this section, and $\sin \phi = \frac{r \tan \alpha}{h}$.

Two concentric circles have radii $1$ and $2$. Two points on the outer circle are chosen independently and uniformly at random. What is the probability that the chord joining the two points intersects the inner circle? $\textbf{(A) }\frac{1}{6}\qquad\textbf{(B) }\frac{1}{4}\qquad\textbf{(C) }\frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}\qquad\textbf{(D) }\frac{1}{3}\qquad\textbf{(E) }\frac{1}{2}\qquad$

On a one-way street, an unending sequence of cars of width $a$, length $b$ passes with velocity $v$. The cars are separated by the distance $c$. A pedestrian crosses the street perpendicularly with velocity $w$, without paying attention to the cars. [b](a)[/b] What is the probability that the pedestrian crosses the street uninjured? [b](b)[/b] Can he improve this probability by crossing the road in a direction other than perpendicular?

Let $p$ be a prime number. We construct a directed graph of $p$ vertices, labeled with integers from $0$ to $p-1$. There is an edge from vertex $x$ to vertex $y$ if and only if $x^2+1\equiv y \pmod{p}$. Let $f(p)$ denotes the length of the longest directed cycle in this graph. Prove that $f(p)$ can attain arbitrarily large values.
