$ABCD$ is a rectangle $\overline{AB} = 5\sqrt{3}$, $\overline{AD} = 30$. Extend $\overline{BC}$ past $C$ and construct point $P$ on this extension such that $\angle APD = 60^{\circ}$. Point $H$ is on $\overline{AP}$ such that $\overline{DH} \perp \overline{AP}$. Find the length of $\overline{DH}$. [i]Proposed by Kevin Wu[/i]

Andrej and Barbara play the following game with two strips of newspaper of length $a$ and $b$. They alternately cut from any end of any of the strips a piece of length $d$. The player who cannot cut such a piece loses the game. Andrej allows Barbara to start the game. Find out how the lengths of the strips determine the winner.

A neighborhood consists of $10 \times 10$ squares. On New Year's Eve it snowed for the first time and since then exactly $10$ cm of snow fell on each square every night (and snow fell only at night). Every morning, the janitor selects one row or column and shovels all the snow from there onto one of the adjacent rows or columns (from each cell to the adjacent side). For example, he can select the seventh column and from each of its cells shovel all the snow into the cell of the left of it. You cannot shovel snow outside the neighborhood. On the evening of the 100th day of the year, an inspector will come to the city and find the cell with the snowdrift of maximal height. The goal of the janitor is to ensure that this height is minimal. What height of snowdrift will the inspector find? [i]Proposed by A. Solynin[/i]

Prove that for every natural number $a$, there exists a natural number that has the number $a$ (the sequence of digits that constitute $a$) at its beginning, and which decreases $a$ times when $a$ is moved from its beginning to it end (any number zeros that appear in the beginning of the number obtained in this way are to be removed). Example [list=i] [*] $a=4$, then $\underline{4}10256= 4 \cdot 10256\underline{4}$ [*] $a=46$, then $\underline{46}0100021743857360295716= 46 \cdot 100021743857360295716\underline{46}$

Let $M = \{(a,b,c)\in R^3 :0 <a,b,c<\frac12$ with $a+b+c=1 \}$ and $f: M\to R$ given as $$f(a,b,c)=4\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\right)-\frac{1}{abc}$$ Find the best (real) bounds $\alpha$ and $\beta$ such that $f(M) = \{f(a,b,c): (a,b,c)\in M\}\subseteq [\alpha,\beta]$ and determine whether any of them is achievable.

A farmer bought $749$ sheeps. He sold $700$ of them for the price paid for the $749$ sheep. The remaining $49$ sheep were sold at the same price per head as the other $700$. Based on the cost, the percent gain on the entire transaction is: ${{ \textbf{(A)}\ 6.5 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 6.75 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 7 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 7.5 }\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 8 } $

Let $a_1<a_2<a_3<\dots$ be positive integers such that $a_{k+1}$ divides $2(a_1+a_2+\dots+a_k)$ for every $k\geqslant 1$. Suppose that for infinitely many primes $p$, there exists $k$ such that $p$ divides $a_k$. Prove that for every positive integer $n$, there exists $k$ such that $n$ divides $a_k$.

Let $k$ be a positive real. $A$ and $B$ play the following game: at the start, there are $80$ zeroes arrange around a circle. Each turn, $A$ increases some of these $80$ numbers, such that the total sum added is $1$. Next, $B$ selects ten consecutive numbers with the largest sum, and reduces them all to $0$. $A$ then wins the game if he/she can ensure that at least one of the number is $\geq k$ at some finite point of time. Determine all $k$ such that $A$ can always win the game.

1989 Tournament Of Towns, (241) 5

We are given $100$ points. $N$ of these are vertices of a convex $N$-gon and the other $100 - N$ of these are inside this $N$-gon. The labels of these points make it impossible to tell whether or not they are vertices of the $N$-gon. It is known that no three points are collinear and that no $4$ points belong to two parallel lines. It has been decided to ask questions of the following type: What is the area of the triangle $XYZ$, where $X, Y$ and $Z$ are labels representing three of the $100$ given points? Prove that $300$ such questions are sufficient in order to clarify which points are vertices and to determine the area of the $N$-gon. (D. Fomin, Leningrad)

(a) Prove that $ n $ people can be divided into two groups, $ X, Y ( \ne \emptyset )$ , such that for all $ (x,y) $ where $ x \in X $ and $ y \in Y $, $ x $ and $ y $ shaked hands or $ x $ and $ y $ didn't shake hands. (b) There exist two people $ A , B $ such that the set of people who are not $ A $ and $ B $ that shaked hands with $ A $ is same wiith the set of people who are not $ A $ and $ B $ that shaked hands with $ B $.

$101$ wise men stand in a circle. Each of them either thinks that the Earth orbits Jupiter or that Jupiter orbits the Earth. Once a minute, all the wise men express their opinion at the same time. Right after that, every wise man who stands between two people with a different opinion from him changes his opinion himself. The rest do not change. Prove that at one point they will all stop changing opinions.
