In the cells of a $1 \times 100$ board, Julián writes all the integers from $1$ to $100$ (inclusive) in any order of his choice, without repeating numbers. For every three consecutive cells on the board, the cell containing the middle value of the three numbers in those cells is marked. For example, if the three numbers are $7$, $99$ and $22$, then the cell with $22$ is marked. Let $S$ be the sum of all the numbers in the marked cells. Determine the minimum value that $S$ can take.
[b]Note:[/b] Each marked number contributes to the sum $S$ exactly once, but it can be marked multiple times.

Let $\pi(n)$ denote the number of primes less than or equal to $n$. A subset of $S=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is called [i]primitive[/i] if there are no two elements in it with one of them dividing the other. Prove that for $n\geq 5$ and $1\leq k\leq \pi(n)/2,$ the number of primitive subsets of $S$ with $k+1$ elements is greater or equal to the number of primitive subsets of $S$ with $k$ elements.

Robin is playing notes on an 88-key piano. He starts by playing middle C, which is actually the 40th lowest note on the piano (i.e. there are 39 notes lower than middle C). After playing a note, Robin plays with probability $\tfrac12$ the lowest note that is higher than the note he just played, and with probability $\tfrac12$ the highest note that is lower than the note he just played. What is the probability that he plays the highest note on the piano before playing the lowest note?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and $O$ be its circumcircle. Let $A', B', C'$ be the midpoints of minor arcs $AB$, $BC$ and $CA$ respectively. Let $I$ be the center of incircle of $ABC$. If $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$ and $AC = 15$, what is the area of the hexagon $AA'BB'CC'$?

Chloe and Zoe are both students in Ms. Demeanor's math class. Last night they each solved half of the problems in their homework assignment alone and then solved the other half together. Chloe had correct answers to only $80\%$ of the problems she solved alone, but overall $88\%$ of her answers were correct. Zoe had correct answers to $90\%$ of the problems she solved alone. What was Zoe's overall percentage of correct answers?
