Two triangles $ABC,ABD$ (with the common side $c=AB$) are given in space. Triangle $ABC$ is right with hypotenuse $AB$, $ABD$ is equilateral. Denote $\varphi$ the dihedral angle between planes $ABC,ABD$. 1) Determine the length of $CD$ in terms of $a=BC,b=CA,c$ and $\varphi$. 2) Determine all values of $\varphi$ such that the tetrahedron $ABCD$ has four sides of the same length.

Points $A$ and $B$ are the endpoints of a diameter of a circle with center $C$. Points $D$ and $E$ lie on the same diameter so that $C$ bisects segment $\overline{DE}$. Let $F$ be a randomly chosen point within the circle. The probability that $\triangle DEF$ has a perimeter less than the length of the diameter of the circle is $\tfrac{17}{128}$. There are relatively prime positive integers m and n so that the ratio of $DE$ to $AB$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}.$ Find $m + n$.

In an arithmetic sequence, the di fference of consecutive terms in constant. We consider sequences of integers in which the di fference of consecutive terms equals the sum of the differences of all preceding consecutive terms. Which of these sequences with $a_0 = 2012$ and $1\leqslant d = a_1-a_0 \leqslant 43$ contain square numbers?

[b]p1.[/b] Find the largest k such that the equation $x^2 - 2x + k = 0$ has at least one real root. [b]p2.[/b] Indiana Jones needs to cross a flimsy rope bridge over a mile long gorge. It is so dark that it is impossible to cross the bridge without a flashlight. Furthermore, the bridge is so weak that it can only support the weight of two people. The party has only one flashlight, which has a weak beam so whenever two people cross, they are constrained to walk together, at the speed of the slower person. Indiana Jones can cross the bridge in $5$ minutes. His girlfriend can cross in $10$ minutes. His father needs $20$ minutes, and his father’s side kick needs $25$ minutes. They need to get everyone across safely in on hour to escape the bay guys. Can they do it? [b]p3.[/b] There are ten big bags with coins. Nine of them contain fare coins weighing $10$ g. each, and one contains counterfeit coins weighing $9$ g. each. By one weighing on a digital scale find the bag with counterfeit coins.

Suppose that necklace $\, A \,$ has 14 beads and necklace $\, B \,$ has 19. Prove that for any odd integer $n \geq 1$, there is a way to number each of the 33 beads with an integer from the sequence \[ \{ n, n+1, n+2, \dots, n+32 \} \] so that each integer is used once, and adjacent beads correspond to relatively prime integers. (Here a ``necklace'' is viewed as a circle in which each bead is adjacent to two other beads.)

Let $n$ be a positive integer. In a village, $n$ boys and $n$ girls are living. For the yearly ball, $n$ dancing couples need to be formed, each of which consists of one boy and one girl. Every girl submits a list, which consists of the name of the boy with whom she wants to dance the most, together with zero or more names of other boys with whom she wants to dance. It turns out that $n$ dancing couples can be formed in such a way that every girl is paired with a boy who is on her list. Show that it is possible to form $n$ dancing couples in such a way that every girl is paired with a boy who is on her list, and at least one girl is paired with the boy with whom she wants to dance the most.

Initially, there are $14$ numbers written on the board - zeros and ones. Every minute, Anton chooses half of the numbers on the board and adds $1$ to each of them, while Mykhailo multiplies all the other numbers by $8$.
