There are $1001$ points in the plane such that no three are collinear. The points are joined by $1001$ line segments such that each point is an endpoint of exactly two of the line segments.
Prove that there does not exist a straight line in the plane that intersects each of the $1001$ segments in an interior point.
[i]An interior point of a line segment is a point of the line segment that is not one of the two endpoints.[/i]

An integer $n\geq 3$ is [i]poli-pythagorean[/i] if there exist $n$ positive integers pairwise distinct such that we can order these numbers in the vertices of a regular $n$-gon such that the sum of the squares of consecutive vertices is also a perfect square. For instance, $3$ is poli-pythagorean, because if we write $44,117,240$ in the vertices of a triangle we notice:
$$44^2+117^2=125^2, 117^2+240^2=267^2, 240^2+44^2=244^2$$
Determine all poli-pythagorean integers.

$ AB$ is a fixed diameter of a circle whose center is $ O$. From $ C$, any point on the circle, a chord $ CD$ is drawn perpendicular to $ AB$. Then, as $ C$ moves over a semicircle, the bisector of angle $ OCD$ cuts the circle in a point that always:

$ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{is as far from }AB \text{ as from } D \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{is equidistant from }B \text{ and } C$

Rein solved a test on mathematics that consisted of questions on algebra, geometry and logic. After checking the results, it occurred that Rein had answered correctly $50\%$ of questions on algebra, $70\%$ of questions on geometry and $80\%$ of questions on logic. Thereby, Rein had answered correctly altogether $62\%$ of questions on algebra and logic, and altogether $74\%$ of questions on geometry and logic. What was the percentage of correctly answered questions throughout all the test by Rein?

Larry initially has a one character string that is either `a', `b', `c', or `d'. Every minute, he chooses a character in the string and:
[list]
[*] if it's an `a' he can replace it with `ac' or `da',
[*] if it's a `b' he can replace it with `cb' or `bd',
[*] if it's a `c' he can replace it with `cc' or `ba',
[*] if it's a `d' he can replace it with `dd' or `ab'.
[/list]
Larry does the above process for $10$ minutes. Find the number of possible strings he can end up with that are a permutation of `aabbccccddd'.
