Michael draws $\triangle ABC$ in the sand such that $\angle ACB=90^\circ$ and $\angle CBA=15^\circ$. He then picks a point at random from within the triangle and labels it point $M$. Next, he draws a segment from $A$ to $BC$ that passes through $M$, hitting $BC$ at a point he labels $D$. Just then, a wave washes over his work, so Michael redraws the exact same diagram farther from the water, labeling all the points the same way as before. If hypotenuse $AB$ is $4$ feet in length, let $p$ be the probability that the number of feet in the length of $AD$ is less than $2\sqrt3-2$. Compute $\lfloor1000p\rfloor$.

An object has the shape of a square and has side length $a$. Light beams are shone on the object from a big machine. If $m$ is the mass of the object, $P$ is the power $\emph{per unit area}$ of the photons, $c$ is the speed of light, and $g$ is the acceleration of gravity, prove that the minimum value of $P$ such that the bar levitates due to the light beams is \[ P = \dfrac {4cmg}{5a^2}. \] [i]Problem proposed by Trung Phan[/i]

Let $n$ be the answer to this problem. An urn contains white and black balls. There are $n$ white balls and at least two balls of each color in the urn. Two balls are randomly drawn from the urn without replacement. Find the probability, in percent, that the rst ball drawn is white and the second is black.

How many different passwords are there that have an odd number of $1$'s? [b]p3.[/b] Tony is a really good Ping Pong player, or at least that is what he claims. For him, ping pong balls are very important and he can feel very easily when a ping pong ball is good and when it is not. The Ping Pong club just ordered new balls. They usually order form either PPB company or MIO company. Tony knows that PPB balls have $80\%$ chance to be good balls and MIO balls have $50\%$ chance to be good balls. I know you are thinking why would anyone order MIO balls, but they are way cheaper than PPB balls. When the box full with balls arrives (huge number of balls), Tony tries the first ball in the box and realizes it is a good ball. Given that the Ping Pong club usually orders half of the time from PPB and half of the time from MIO, what is the probability that the second ball is a good ball? [b]p4.[/b] What is the smallest positive integer that is one-ninth of its reverse? [b]p5.[/b] When Michael wakes up in the morning he is usually late for class so he has to get dressed very quickly. He has to put on a short sleeved shirt, a sweater, pants, two socks and two shoes. People usually put the sweater on after they put the short sleeved shirt on, but Michael has a different style, so he can do it both ways. Given that he puts on a shoe on a foot after he put on a sock on that foot, in how many dierent orders can Michael get dressed? [b]p6.[/b] The numbers $1, 2,..., 2015$ are written on a blackboard.

Several finitely many observers are watching him because, let's face it, you can't really trust Tony. In fact, they must watch him very closely{ so closely that he must never remain unattended for any second. But since the observers are lazy, they only watch Tony uninterruptedly for exactly one minute, and during this minute, Tony covers exactly one meter. What is the sum of the minimal and maximal possible distance Tony can walk during the six minutes?

There are three boxes of stones. Sisyphus moves stones one by one between the boxes. Whenever he moves a stone, Zeus gives him the number of coins that is equal to the difference between the number of stones in the box the stone was put in, and that in the box the stone was taken from (the moved stone does not count). If this difference is negative, then Sisyphus returns the corresponding amount to Zeus (if Sisyphus cannot pay, generous Zeus allows him to make the move and pay later). After some time all the stones lie in their initial boxes. What is the greatest possible earning of Sisyphus at that moment? [i]I. Izmest’ev[/i]

Consider $n$ students with numbers $1, 2, \ldots, n$ standing in the order $1, 2, \ldots, n.$ Upon a command, any of the students either remains on his place or switches his place with another student.

Is it possible to arrange the students in the order $n,1, 2, \ldots, n-1$ after two commands ?
