After multiplying out and simplifying polynomial $ (x \minus{} 1)(x^2 \minus{} 1)(x^3 \minus{} 1)\cdots(x^{2007} \minus{} 1),$ getting rid of all terms whose powers are greater than $ 2007,$ we acquire a new polynomial $ f(x).$ Find its degree and the coefficient of the term having the highest power. Find the degree of $ f(x) \equal{} (1 \minus{} x)(1 \minus{} x^{2})...(1 \minus{} x^{2007})$ $ (mod$ $ x^{2008}).$

An equilateral triangle is given. A point lies on the incircle of this triangle. If the smallest two distances from the point to the sides of the triangle is $1$ and $4$, the sidelength of this equilateral triangle can be expressed as $\tfrac{a\sqrt b}c$ where $(a,c)=1$ and $b$ is not divisible by the square of an integer greater than $1$. Find $a+b+c$.

In a blackboard, it's written the following expression $ 1-2-2^2-2^3-2^4-2^5-2^6-2^7-2^8-2^9-2^{10}$ We put parenthesis by different ways and then we calculate the result. For example: $ 1-2-\left(2^2-2^3\right)-2^4-\left(2^5-2^6-2^7\right)-2^8-\left( 2^9-2^{10}\right)= 403$ and $ 1-\left(2-2^2 \left(-2^3-2^4 \right)-\left(2^5-2^6-2^7\right)\right)- \left(2^8- 2^9 \right)-2^{10}= -933$ How many different results can we obtain?

Steve is piling $m\geq 1$ indistinguishable stones on the squares of an $n\times n$ grid. Each square can have an arbitrarily high pile of stones. After he finished piling his stones in some manner, he can then perform [i]stone moves[/i], defined as follows. Consider any four grid squares, which are corners of a rectangle, i.e. in positions $(i, k), (i, l), (j, k), (j, l)$ for some $1\leq i, j, k, l\leq n$, such that $i<j$ and $k<l$. A stone move consists of either removing one stone from each of $(i, k)$ and $(j, l)$ and moving them to $(i, l)$ and $(j, k)$ respectively, or removing one stone from each of $(i, l)$ and $(j, k)$ and moving them to $(i, k)$ and $(j, l)$ respectively. Two ways of piling the stones are equivalent if they can be obtained from one another by a sequence of stone moves. How many different non-equivalent ways can Steve pile the stones on the grid?

Alex and Kevin are radish watching. The probability that they will see a radish within the next hour is $\frac{1}{17}$. If the probability that they will see a radish within the next $15$ minutes is $p$, determine $\lfloor 1000p \rfloor$. Assume that the probability of seeing a radish at any given moment is uniform for the entire hour. [i]Proposed by Ephram Chun[/i]
