In the acute-angle triangle $ABC$ we have $\angle ACB = 45^\circ$. The points $A_1$ and $B_1$ are the feet of the altitudes from $A$ and $B$, and $H$ is the orthocenter of the triangle. We consider the points $D$ and $E$ on the segments $AA_1$ and $BC$ such that $A_1D = A_1E = A_1B_1$. Prove that a) $A_1B_1 = \sqrt{ \frac{A_1B^2+A_1C^2}{2} }$; b) $CH=DE$.

A black bishop and a white king are placed randomly on a $2000 \times 2000$ chessboard (in distinct squares). Let $p$ be the probability that the bishop attacks the king (that is, the bishop and king lie on some common diagonal of the board). Then $p$ can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m$. [i]Proposed by Ahaan Rungta[/i]

As shown in the figure below a regular dodecahedron (the polyhedron consisting of 12 congruent regular pentagonal faces) floats in space with two horizontal faces. Note that there is a ring of five slanted faces adjacent to the top face, and a ring of five slanted faces adjacent to the bottom face.
