Point \( A_1 \) inside the acute-angled triangle \( ABC \) is such that
\[
\angle ACB = 2\angle A_1BC \quad \text{and} \quad \angle ABC = 2\angle A_1CB.
\]
Point \( A_2 \) is chosen so that points \( A \) and \( A_2 \) lie on opposite sides of line \( BC \), \( AA_2 \perp BC \), and the perpendicular bisector of \( AA_2 \) is tangent to the circumcircle of \( \triangle ABC \). Define points \( B_1, B_2, C_1, C_2 \) analogously. Prove that the circumcircles of \( \triangle AA_1A_2 \), \( \triangle BB_1B_2 \), and \( \triangle CC_1C_2 \) intersect at exactly two common points.

Suppose that the measurement of time during the day is converted to the metric system so that each day has $10$ metric hours, and each metric hour has $100$ metric minutes. Digital clocks would then be produced that would read $9{:}99$ just before midnight, $0{:}00$ at midnight, $1{:}25$ at the former $3{:}00$ $\textsc{am}$, and $7{:}50$ at the former $6{:}00$ $\textsc{pm}$. After the conversion, a person who wanted to wake up at the equivalent of the former $6{:}36$ $\textsc{am}$ would have to set his new digital alarm clock for $\text{A:BC}$, where $\text{A}$, $\text{B}$, and $\text{C}$ are digits. Find $100\text{A} + 10\text{B} + \text{C}$.

On an $n$ × $n$ board, the set of all squares that are located on or below the main diagonal of the board is called the$n-ladder$. For example, the following figure shows a $3-ladder$:

draw((0,0)--(3,0));
draw((0,1)--(3,1));
draw((1,0)--(1,3));

The Ultimate Question is a 10-part problem in which each question after the first depends on the answer to the previous problem. As in the Short Answer section, the answer to each (of the 10) problems is a nonnegative integer. You should submit an answer for each of the 10 problems you solve (unlike in previous years). In order to receive credit for the correct answer to a problem, you must also correctly answer $\textit{every one}$ $\textit{of the previous parts}$ $\textit{of the Ultimate Question}$.

Each of 9 girls participates in several (one or more) theater groups, so that there are no two identical groups. Each of them is randomly assigned a positive integer between 1 and 30 inclusive. We call a group \textit{small} if the sum of the numbers of its members does not exceed the sum of any other group. Prove that regardless of which girl participates in which group, the probability that after receiving the numbers there will be a unique small group is at least \( \frac{7}{10} \).
