The Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers defined recursively as follows: $F_1=1$, $F_2=1$, and $F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$. Using this definition, compute the sum $$\sum_{k=1}^{10}\frac{F_k}{F_{k+1}F_{k+2}}.$$

Diameter $ACE$ is divided at $C$ in the ratio $2:3$. The two semicircles, $ABC$ and $CDE$, divide the circular region into an upper (shaded) region and a lower region. The ratio of the area of the upper region to that of the lower region is [asy]pair A,B,C,D,EE; A = (0,0); B = (2,2); C = (4,0); D = (7,-3); EE = (10,0); fill(arc((2,0),A,C,CW)--arc((7,0),C,EE,CCW)--arc((5,0),EE,A,CCW)--cycle,gray); draw(arc((2,0),A,C,CW)--arc((7,0),C,EE,CCW)); draw(circle((5,0),5)); dot(A); dot(B); dot(C); dot(D); dot(EE); label("$A$",A,W); label("$B$",B,N); label("$C$",C,E); label("$D$",D,N); label("$E$",EE,W); [/asy] $\textbf{(A)}\ 2:3 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 1:1 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 3:2 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 9:4 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 5:2$

Billiam is distributing his ample supply of balls among an ample supply of boxes. He distributes the balls as follows: he places a ball in the first empty box, and then for the greatest positive integer n such that all $n$ boxes from box $1$ to box $n$ have at least one ball, he takes all of the balls in those $n$ boxes and puts them into box $n +1$. He then repeats this process indefinitely. Find the number of repetitions of this process it takes for one box to have at least $2022$ balls.

Naomi has a class of $100$ students who will compete with each other in five teams. Once the teams are made, each student will shake hands with every other student, except the students in his or her own team. Naomi chooses to partition the students into teams so as to maximize the number of handshakes. How many handshakes will there be?

Let $n, m, k$ be natural numbers, with $m > n$. Which of the numbers is greater: $$\sqrt{n+\sqrt{m+\sqrt{n+...}}}\,\,\, or \,\,\,\, \sqrt{m+\sqrt{n+\sqrt{m+...}}}\,\, ?$$ Note: Each of the expressions contains $k$ square root signs; $n, m$ alternate within each expression. (N. Kurlandchik)

Let $O$ be a point of three-dimensional space and let $l_1, l_2, l_3$ be mutually perpendicular straight lines passing through $O$. Let $S$ denote the sphere with center $O$ and radius $R$, and for every point $M$ of $S$, let $S_M$ denote the sphere with center $M$ and radius $R$. We denote by $P_1, P_2, P_3$ the intersection of $S_M$ with the straight lines $l_1, l_2, l_3$, respectively, where we put $P_i \neq O$ if $l_i$ meets $S_M$ at two distinct points and $P_i = O$ otherwise ($i = 1, 2, 3$). What is the set of centers of gravity of the (possibly degenerate) triangles $P_1P_2P_3$ as $M$ runs through the points of $S$?

Find all integers $n \ge 4$ with the following property: Each field of the $n \times n$ table can be painted white or black in such a way that each square of this table had the same color as exactly the two adjacent squares. (Squares are adjacent if they have exactly one side in common.) How many different colorings of the $6 \times 6$ table fields meet the above conditions?

Let $s (n)$ denote the sum of digits of a positive integer $n$. Using six different digits, we formed three 2-digits $p, q, r$ such that $$p \cdot q \cdot s(r) = p\cdot s(q) \cdot r = s (p) \cdot q \cdot r.$$ Find all such numbers $p, q, r$.

Two circles intersect at two points $A$ and $B$. A line $\ell$ which passes through the point $A$ meets the two circles again at the points $C$ and $D$, respectively. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the arcs $BC$ and $BD$ (which do not contain the point $A$) on the respective circles. Let $K$ be the midpoint of the segment $CD$. Prove that $\measuredangle MKN = 90^{\circ}$.

Jeff writes down the two-digit base-$10$ prime $\overline{ab_{10}}$. He realizes that if he misinterprets the number as the base $11$ number $\overline{ab_{11}}$ or the base $12$ number $\overline{ab_{12}}$, it is still a prime. What is the least possible value of Jeff’s number (in base $10$)? [i]Proposed byMuztaba Syed[/i]

A positive integer is [i]totally square[/i] is the sum of its digits (written in base $10$) is a square number. For example, $13$ is totally square because $1 + 3 = 2^2$, but $16$ is not totally square. Show that there are infinitely many positive integers that are not the sum of two totally square integers.
