Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that the line $BD$ bisects the angle $ABC.$ The circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ intersects the sides $AD$ and $CD$ in the points $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. The line through $D$ and parallel to $AC$ intersects the lines $BC$ and $BA$ at the points $R$ and $S,$ respectively. Prove that the points $P, Q, R$ and $S$ lie on a common circle.

An ant craws along a closed route along the edges of a dodecahedron, never going backwards. Each edge of the route is passed exactly twice. Prove that one of the edges is passed both times in the same direction. (Dodecahedron has $12$ faces in the shape of pentagon, $30$ edges and $20$ vertices; each vertex emitting 3 edges). (8)

Suppose a biased coin gives head with probability $\dfrac{2}{3}$. The coin is tossed repeatedly, if it shows heads then player $A$ rolls a fair die, otherwise player $B$ rolls the same die. The process ends when one of the players get a $6$, and that player is declared the winner. If the probability that $A$ will win is given by $\dfrac{m}{n}$ where $m,n$ are coprime, then what is the value of $m^2n$?

Now Wendy wanders over and joins Dr. Lisi and her younger siblings. Thinking she knows everything there is about how to work with arithmetic series, she nearly turns right around to walk back home when Dr. Lisi poses a more challenging problem. "Suppose I select two distinct terms at random from the $2008$ term sequence. What's the probability that their product is positive?" If $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers such that $a/b$ is the probability that the product of the two terms is positive, find the value of $a+b$.

Let $n = p_1p_2... p_{2017}$ be the positive integer where $p_1, p_2, ..., p_{2017}$ are $2017$ distinct odd primes. A triangle is called [i]nice [/i] if it is a right triangle with integer side lengths and the inradius is $n$. Find the number of nice triangles (two triangles are consider different if their tuples of length of sides are different)

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length $1$. Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be the trisection points of $AB$ with $A_1$ closer to $A$, $B_1$ and $B_2$ be the trisection points of $BC$ with $B_1$ closer to $B$, and $C_1$ and $C_2$ be the trisection points of $CA$ with $C_1$ closer to $C$. Grogg has an orange equilateral triangle the size of triangle $A_1B_1C_1$. He puts the orange triangle over triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ and then rotates it about its center in the shortest direction until its vertices are over $A_2B_2C_2$. Find the area of the region that the orange triangle traveled over during its rotation.

Suppose you have $27$ identical unit cubes colored such that $3$ faces adjacent to a vertex are red and the other $3$ are colored blue. Suppose further that you assemble these $27$ cubes randomly into a larger cube with $3$ cubes to an edge (in particular, the orientation of each cube is random). The probability that the entire cube is one solid color can be written as $\frac{1}{2^n}$ for some positive integer $n$. Find $n$.

For a science project, Sammy observed a chipmunk and a squirrel stashing acorns in holes. The chipmunk hid $3$ acorns in each of the holes it dug. The squirrel hid $4$ acorns in each of the holes it dug. They each hid the same number of acorns, although the squirrel needed $4$ fewer holes. How many acorns did the chipmunk hide? ${{ \textbf{(A)}\ 30\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 36\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 42\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 48}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 54} $
