Let $N$ be the number of functions $f:\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\} \rightarrow \{1,2,3,4,5\}$ that have the property that for $1\leq x\leq 5$ it is true that $f(f(x))=x$. Given that $N$ can be written in the form $5^a\cdot b$ for positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $b$ not divisible by $5$, find $a+b$.

There is a population $P$ of $10000$ bacteria, some of which are friends (friendship is mutual),
so that each bacterion has at least one friend and if we wish to assign to each bacterion a coloured
membrane so that no two friends have the same colour, then there is a way to do it with $2021$
colours, but not with $2020$ or less.
Two friends $A$ and $B$ can decide to merge in which case they become a single bacterion whose
friends are precisely the union of friends of $A$ and $B$. (Merging is not allowed if $A$ and $B$ are
not friends.) It turns out that no matter how we perform one merge or two consecutive merges,
in the resulting population it would be possible to assign $2020$ colours or less so that no two
friends have the same colour. Is it true that in any such population $P$ every bacterium has at
least $2021$ friends?

How many three-digit numbers $\underline{abc}$ have the property that when it is added to $\underline{cba}$, the number obtained by reversing its digits, the result is a palindrome? (Note that $\underline{cba}$ is not necessarily a three-digit number since before reversing, $c$ may be equal to $0$.)

Squirrels $A$ and $B$ have $360$ nuts. $A$ divides these nuts into five non-empty heaps and $B$ chooses three heaps. If the total number of nuts in these heaps is divisible by the total number of nuts in other two heaps then $A$ wins. Otherwise $B$ wins. Which of the squirrels has a winning strategy?

Inside the acute-angled triangle $ABC$, mark the point $O$ so that $\angle AOB=90^o$, a point $M$ on the side $BC$ such that $\angle COM=90^o$, and a point $N$ on the segment $BO$ such that $\angle OMN = 90^o$. Let $P$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AM$ and $CN$, and let $Q$ be a point on the side $AB$ that such $\angle POQ = 90^o$. Prove that the lines $AN, CO$ and $MQ$ intersect at one point.

As shown in the figure, line segment $\overline{AD}$ is trisected by points $B$ and $C$ so that $AB=BC=CD=2.$ Three semicircles of radius $1,$ $\overarc{AEB},\overarc{BFC},$ and $\overarc{CGD},$ have their diameters on $\overline{AD},$ and are tangent to line $EG$ at $E,F,$ and $G,$ respectively. A circle of radius $2$ has its center on $F. $ The area of the region inside the circle but outside the three semicircles, shaded in the figure, can be expressed in the form
\[\frac{a}{b}\cdot\pi-\sqrt{c}+d,\]
where $a,b,c,$ and $d$ are positive integers and $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime. What is $a+b+c+d$?

It is known that each vertex of the convex polyhedron $P$ belongs to three different faces, and each vertex of $P$ can be dyed black and white, so that the two endpoints of each edge of $P$ are different colors. Proof: The interior of each edge of $P$ can be dyed red, yellow, and blue, so that the colors of the three edges connected to each vertex are different, and each face contains two colors of edges.
