Circles $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$, and $\omega_3$ are centered at $M$, $N$, and $O$, respectively. The points of tangency between $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$, $\omega_3$ and $\omega_1$, and $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are tangent at $A$, $B$, and $C$, respectively. Line $MO$ intersects $\omega_3$ and $\omega_1$ again at $P$ and $Q$ respectively, and line $AP$ intersects $\omega_2$ again at $R$. Given that $ABC$ is an equilateral triangle of side length $1$, compute the area of $PQR$.

Six points are given so that there are not three on the same line and that the lengths of the segments determined by these points are all different. We consider all the triangles that they have their vertices at these points. Show that there is a segment that is both the shortest side of one of those triangles and the longest side of another.

Rosa dos Ventos, Aurora Boreal and Manuela do Norte organized a competition between them last weekend, consisting of several athletics events. The winner in each test obtained $x$ points, the second placed $y$ points and the third placed $z$ points ($x,y,z \in N$ and $x >y>z$). The final result of the competition, obtained by adding up the scores in each event, was Rosa had $22$ points, Manuela had $9$ points, Aurora had $9 $ points. In how many tests did they compete and who came second in the high jump knowing that the Manuela won the $100$ meters and no one gave up in any race?

The European zoos with at least two types of species are separated in two groups $\hat{A}$ and $\hat{B}$ in such a way that every pair of zoos $(A,B)$ $(A\in\hat{A}, B\in\hat{B})$ have some animal in common. What is the least $k$ for which we can color the cages in the zoos (each cage only has all animals of one species) such that no zoo has cages of only one color (with every animal across all zoos having to be colored in the same color)? For the maximal value of $k$, find all possibilities (zoos and species), for which this maximum is achieved.

Larry can swim from Harvard to MIT (with the current of the Charles River) in $40$ minutes, or back (against the current) in $45$ minutes. How long does it take him to row from Harvard to MIT, if he rows the return trip in $15$ minutes? (Assume that the speed of the current and Larry’s swimming and rowing speeds relative to the current are all constant.) Express your answer in the format mm:ss.

Let $\phi$ be the Euler totient function. Let $\phi^k (n) = (\underbrace{\phi \circ ... \circ \phi}_{k})(n)$ be $\phi$ composed with itself $k$ times. Define $\theta (n) = min \{k \in N | \phi^k (n)=1 \}$
. For example,
$\phi^1 (13) = \phi(13) = 12$
$\phi^2 (13) = \phi (\phi (13)) = 4$
$\phi^3 (13) = \phi(\phi(\phi(13))) = 2$
$\phi^4 (13) = \phi(\phi(\phi(\phi(13)))) = 1$
so $\theta (13) = 4$. Let $f(r) = \theta (13^r)$. Determine $f(2012)$.
