Four small spheres each with radius $6$ are each internally tangent to a large sphere with radius $17$. The four small spheres form a ring with each of the four spheres externally tangent to its two neighboring small spheres. A sixth intermediately sized sphere is internally tangent to the large sphere and externally tangent to each of the four small spheres. Its radius is $\frac{m}{n}$ , where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

A bag initially contains red marbles and blue marbles only, with more blue than red. Red marbles are added to the bag until only $ 1/3$ of the marbles in the bag are blue. Then yellow marbles are added to the bag until only $ 1/5$ of the marbles in the bag are blue. Finally, the number of blue marbles in the bag is doubled. What fraction of the marbles now in the bag are blue? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac {1}{5}\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac {1}{4}\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac {1}{3}\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac {2}{5}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \frac {1}{2}$

In a country, there are $28$ cities and between some cities there are two-way flights. In every city there is exactly one airport and this airport is either small or medium or big. For every route which contains more than two cities, doesn't contain a city twice and ends where it begins; has all types of airports. What is the maximum number of flights in this country?

Consider $n$ cards with marked numbers $1$ through $n$. No number have repeted, namely, each number has marked exactly at one card. They are distributed on $n$ boxes so that each box contains exactly one card initially. We want to move all the cards into one box all together according to the following instructions The instruction: Choose an integer $k(1\le k\le n)$, and move a card with number $k$ to the other box such that sum of the number of the card in that box is multiple of $k$. Find all positive integer $n$ so that there exists a way to gather all the cards in one box. Thanks to @scnwust for correcting wrong translation.

(a) Let $n \geq 1$ be an integer. Prove that $X^n+Y^n+Z^n$ can be written as a polynomial with integer coefficients in the variables $\alpha=X+Y+Z$, $\beta= XY+YZ+ZX$ and $\gamma = XYZ$.

A safe is protected with a number of locks. Eleven members of the committee have keys for some of the locks. What is the smallest number of locks necessary so that every six members of the committee can open the safe, but no five members can do it? How should the keys be distributed among the committee members if the number of locks is the smallest?

Mark and William are playing a game with a stored value. On his turn, a player may either multiply the stored value by $2$ and add $1$ or he may multiply the stored value by $4$ and add $3$. The first player to make the stored value exceed $2^{100}$ wins. The stored value starts at $1$ and Mark goes first. Assuming both players play optimally, what is the maximum number of times that William can make a move? (By optimal play, we mean that on any turn the player selects the move which leads to the best possible outcome given that the opponent is also playing optimally. If both moves lead to the same outcome, the player selects one of them arbitrarily.)
