Esmeralda has created a special knight to play on quadrilateral boards that are identical to chessboards. If a knight is in a square then it can move to another square by moving 1 square in one direction and 3 squares in a perpendicular direction (which is a diagonal of a $2\times4$ rectangle instead of $2\times3$ like in chess). In this movement, it doesn't land on the squares between the beginning square and the final square it lands on. A trip of the length $n$ of the knight is a sequence of $n$ squares $C1, C2, ..., Cn$ which are all distinct such that the knight starts at the $C1$ square and for each $i$ from $1$ to $n-1$ it can use the movement described before to go from the $Ci$ square to the $C(i+1)$. Determine the greatest $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that there exists a path of the knight with length $N$ on a $5\times5$ board.

Let $O$ be a point outside a given circle. Two lines $OAB, OCD$ through $O$ meet the circle at $A,B,C,D$, where $A,C$ are the midpoints of $OB,OD$, respectively. Additionally, the acute angle $\theta$ between the lines is equal to the acute angle at which each line cuts the circle. Find $\cos \theta$ and show that the tangents at $A,D$ to the circle meet on the line $BC.$

In the Cartesian plane let $A = (1,0)$ and $B = \left( 2, 2\sqrt{3} \right)$. Equilateral triangle $ABC$ is constructed so that $C$ lies in the first quadrant. Let $P=(x,y)$ be the center of $\triangle ABC$. Then $x \cdot y$ can be written as $\tfrac{p\sqrt{q}}{r}$, where $p$ and $r$ are relatively prime positive integers and $q$ is an integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $p+q+r$.

Let $ n$ and $ k$ be positive integers with $ k \geq n$ and $ k \minus{} n$ an even number. Let $ 2n$ lamps labelled $ 1$, $ 2$, ..., $ 2n$ be given, each of which can be either [i]on[/i] or [i]off[/i]. Initially all the lamps are off. We consider sequences of steps: at each step one of the lamps is switched (from on to off or from off to on). Let $ N$ be the number of such sequences consisting of $ k$ steps and resulting in the state where lamps $ 1$ through $ n$ are all on, and lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ are all off. Let $ M$ be number of such sequences consisting of $ k$ steps, resulting in the state where lamps $ 1$ through $ n$ are all on, and lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ are all off, but where none of the lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ is ever switched on. Determine $ \frac {N}{M}$. [i]Author: Bruno Le Floch and Ilia Smilga, France[/i]
