Consider all rational numbers of the form $\tfrac{p}{q}$ where $p,q$ are relatively prime positive integers less than or equal to $8$, and plot them on the $xy$-plane, where $\tfrac{p}{q}$ corresponds to point $(p,q)$. Arrange the rationals in increasing order $\{P_1,P_2,\dots,P_n\}$ and form a polygon by connecting points $P_i$ and $P_{i+1}$ for $1\le i<n$ and connecting both $P_1$ and $P_n$ to the origin. What is the area of the polygon?

Two not necessarily equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. An in finite angle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the angle, while the colored sides of the angle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that it is possible to draw a ray in the angle, starting from the vertex of the angle and such that no matter how the angle is positioned, the ray passes through some fixed point of the plane.

A square \( K = 2025 \times 2025 \) is given. We define a [i]stick[/i] as a rectangle where one of its sides is \( 1 \), and the other side is a positive integer from \( 1 \) to \( 2025 \). Find the largest positive integer \( C \) such that the following condition holds: [list] [*] If several sticks with a total area not exceeding \( C \) are taken, it is always possible to place them inside the square \( K \) so that each stick fully completely covers an integer number of \( 1 \times 1 \) squares, and no \( 1 \times 1 \) square is covered by more than one stick. [/list] [i](Basically, you can rotate sticks, but they have to be aligned by lines of the grid)[/i] [i]Proposed by Anton Trygub[/i]

2022 Saudi Arabia BMO + EGMO TST, 1.4

At a gala banquet, $12n + 6$ chairs, where $n \in N$, are equally arranged around a large round table. A seating will be called a proper seating of rank $n$ if a gathering of $6n + 3$ married couples sit around this table such that each seated person also has exactly one sibling (brother/sister) of the opposite gender present (siblings cannot be married to each other) and each man is seated closer to his wife than his sister. Among all proper seats of rank n find the maximum possible number of women seated closer to their brother than their husband. (The maximum is taken not only across all possible seating arrangements for a given gathering, but also across all possible gatherings.)

Given a set $S$ of $n$ variables, a binary operation $\times$ on $S$ is called [i]simple[/i] if it satisfies $(x \times y) \times z = x \times (y \times z)$ for all $x,y,z \in S$ and $x \times y \in \{x,y\}$ for all $x,y \in S$. Given a simple operation $\times$ on $S$, any string of elements in $S$ can be reduced to a single element, such as $xyz \to x \times (y \times z)$. A string of variables in $S$ is called[i] full [/i]if it contains each variable in $S$ at least once, and two strings are [i]equivalent[/i] if they evaluate to the same variable regardless of which simple $\times$ is chosen. For example $xxx$, $xx$, and $x$ are equivalent, but these are only full if $n=1$. Suppose $T$ is a set of strings such that any full string is equivalent to exactly one element of $T$. Determine the number of elements of $T$.
