Let $T$ be the triangle in the coordinate plane with vertices $\left(0,0\right)$, $\left(4,0\right)$, and $\left(0,3\right)$. Consider the following five isometries (rigid transformations) of the plane: rotations of $90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, and $270^{\circ}$ counterclockwise around the origin, reflection across the $x$-axis, and reflection across the $y$-axis. How many of the $125$ sequences of three of these transformations (not necessarily distinct) will return $T$ to its original position? (For example, a $180^{\circ}$ rotation, followed by a reflection across the $x$-axis, followed by a reflection across the $y$-axis will return $T$ to its original position, but a $90^{\circ}$ rotation, followed by a reflection across the $x$-axis, followed by another reflection across the $x$-axis will not return $T$ to its original position.) $\textbf{(A) } 12\qquad\textbf{(B) } 15\qquad\textbf{(C) }17 \qquad\textbf{(D) }20 \qquad\textbf{(E) }25$

Let \( n \) be a positive integer. A function \( f : \{0, 1, \dots, n\} \to \{0, 1, \dots, n\} \) is called \( n \)-Bolivian if it satisfies the following conditions: • \( f(0) = 0 \); • \( f(t) \in \{ t-1, f(t-1), f(f(t-1)), \dots \} \) for all \( t = 1, 2, \dots, n \). For example, if \( n = 3 \), then the function defined by \( f(0) = f(1) = 0 \), \( f(2) = f(3) = 1 \) is 3-Bolivian, but the function defined by \( f(0) = f(1) = f(2) = 0 \), \( f(3) = 1 \) is not 3-Bolivian. For a fixed positive integer \( n \), Gollum selects an \( n \)-Bolivian function. Smeagol, knowing that \( f \) is \( n \)-Bolivian, tries to figure out which function was chosen by asking questions of the type: \[ \text{How many integers } a \text{ are there such that } f(a) = b? \] given a \( b \) of his choice. Show that if Gollum always answers correctly, Smeagol can determine \( f \) and find the minimum number of questions he needs to ask, considering all possible choices of \( f \).

For positive integers $n \ge 3$ and $r \ge 1$, define $$P(n, r) = (n - 2)\frac{r^2}{2} - (n - 4) \frac{r}{2}$$ We call a triple $(a, b, c)$ of natural numbers, with $a \le b \le c$, an $n$-gonal Pythagorean triple if $P(n, a)+P(n, b) = P(n, c)$. (For $n = 4$, we get the usual Pythagorean triple.) (a) Find an $n$-gonal Pythagorean triple for each $n \ge 3$. (b) Consider all triangles $ABC$ whose sides are $n$-gonal Pythagorean triples for some $n \ge 3$. Find the maximum and the minimum possible values of angle $C$.

Given a positive integer $m,$ define the polynomial $$P_m(z) = z^4-\frac{2m^2}{m^2+1} z^3+\frac{3m^2-2}{m^2+1}z^2-\frac{2m^2}{m^2+1}z+1.$$ Let $S$ be the set of roots of the polynomial $P_5(z)\cdot P_7(z)\cdot P_8(z) \cdot P_{18}(z).$ Let $w$ be the point in the complex plane which minimizes $\sum_{z \in S} |z-w|.$ The value of $\sum_{z \in S} |z-w|^2$ equals $\tfrac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b.$ Compute $a+b.$

For a positive integer $n$, denote by $\tau(n)$ the number of positive integer divisors of $n$, and denote by $\phi(n)$ the number of positive integers that are less than or equal to $n$ and relatively prime to $n$. Call a positive integer $n$ $\emph{good}$ if $\varphi (n) + 4\tau (n) = n$. For example, the number $44$ is good because $\varphi (44) + 4\tau (44)= 44$. Find the sum of all good positive integers $n$.

Let $G$ be an arbitrarily chosen finite simple graph. We write non-negative integers on the vertices of the graph such that for each vertex $v$ in $G,$ the number written on $v$ is equal to the number of vertices adjacent to $v$ where an even number is written. Prove that the number of ways to achieve this is a power of $2$.

A social network has $2019$ users, some pairs of whom are friends. Whenever user $A$ is friends with user $B$, user $B$ is also friends with user $A$. Events of the following kind may happen repeatedly, one at a time: [list] [*] Three users $A$, $B$, and $C$ such that $A$ is friends with both $B$ and $C$, but $B$ and $C$ are not friends, change their friendship statuses such that $B$ and $C$ are now friends, but $A$ is no longer friends with $B$, and no longer friends with $C$. All other friendship statuses are unchanged. [/list] Initially, $1010$ users have $1009$ friends each, and $1009$ users have $1010$ friends each. Prove that there exists a sequence of such events after which each user is friends with at most one other user. [i]Proposed by Adrian Beker, Croatia[/i]
