The intelligence quotient (IQ) of a country is defined as the average IQ of its entire population. It is assumed that the total population and individual IQs remain constant throughout. (a) (i) A group of people from country $A$ has emigrated to country $B$ . Show that it can happen that as a result , the IQs of both countries have increased. (ii) After this, a group of people from $B$, which may include immigrants from $A$, emigrates to $A$. Can it happen that the IQs of both countries will increase again? (b) A group of people from country $A$ has emigrated to country $B$, and a group of people from $B$ has emigrated to country $C$ . It is known that a s a result , the IQs o f all three countries have increased. After this, a group of people from $C$ emigrates to $B$ and a group of people from $B$ emigrates to $A$. Can it happen that the IQs of all three countries will increase again? (A Kanel, B Begun)

A $3\times 3\times 3$ cube is made of 27 unit cube pieces. Each piece contains a lamp, which can be on or off. Every time a piece is pressed (the center piece cannot be pressed), the state of that piece and the pieces that share a face with it changes. Initially all lamps are off. Determine which of the following states are achievable: (1) All lamps are on. (2) All lamps are on except the central one. (3) Only the central lamp is on.

$N\geq9$ distinct real numbers are written on a blackboard. All these numbers are nonnegative, and all are less than $1$. It happens that for very $8$ distinct numbers on the board, the board contains the ninth number distinct from eight such that the sum of all these nine numbers is integer. Find all values $N$ for which this is possible. [i](F. Nilov)[/i]

Jack plays a game in which he first rolls a fair six-sided die and gets some number $n$, then, he flips a coin until he flips $n$ heads in a row and wins, or he flips $n$ tails in a row in which case he rerolls the die and tries again. What is the expected number of times Jack must flip the coin before he wins the game.

A semicircle has diameter $\overline{AD}$ with $AD = 30$. Points $B$ and $C$ lie on $\overline{AD}$, and points $E$ and $F$ lie on the arc of the semicircle. The two right triangles $\vartriangle BCF$ and $\vartriangle CDE$ are congruent. The area of $\vartriangle BCF$ is $m\sqrt{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m + n$.
