Triangle $ABC$ has sidelengths $AB=1$, $BC=\sqrt{3}$, and $AC=2$. Points $D,E$, and $F$ are chosen on $AB, BC$, and $AC$ respectively, such that $\angle EDF = \angle DFA = 90^{\circ}$. Given that the maximum possible value of $[DEF]^2$ can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for positive integers $a, b$ with $\gcd (a, b) = 1$, find $a + b$. (Here $[DEF]$ denotes the area of triangle $DEF$.) [i]Proposed by Vismay Sharan[/i]

A number of linked rings, each 1 cm thick, are hanging on a peg. The top ring has an outside diameter of 20 cm. The outside diameter of each of the outer rings is 1 cm less than that of the ring above it. The bottom ring has an outside diameter of 3 cm. What is the distance, in cm, from the top of the top ring to the bottom of the bottom ring?

Prove that, among the distances between each pair of tiles, we can find two of them that are equal (the distance between two tiles is the distance between the centers of the squares in which they are located).

Paul and Sara are playing a game with integers on a whiteboard, with Paul going first. When it is Paul’s turn, he can pick any two integers on the board and replace them with their product; when it is Sara’s turn, she can pick any two integers on the board and replace them with their sum. Play continues until exactly one integer remains on the board. Paul wins if that integer is odd, and Sara wins if it is even. Initially, there are $2021$ integers on the board, each one sampled uniformly at random from the set $\{0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , 2021\}$. Assuming both players play optimally, the probability that Paul wins is $m/n$ , where $m, n$ are positive integers and $gcd(m, n) = 1$. Find the remainder when $m + n$ is divided by $1000$.

2006 Sharygin Geometry Olympiad, 3

The map shows sections of three straight roads connecting the three villages, but the villages themselves are located outside the map. In addition, the fire station located at an equal distance from the three villages is not indicated on the map, although its location is within the map. Is it possible to find this place with the help of a compass and a ruler, if the construction is carried out only within the map?
