Denote by $\mathbb{Q}^+$ the set of positive rational numbers. A function $f : \mathbb{Q}^+ \to \mathbb{Q}$ satisfies • $f(p) = 1$ for all primes $p$, and • $f(ab) = af(b) + bf(a)$ for all $ a,b \in \mathbb{Q}^+ $. For which positive integers $n$ does the equation $nf(c) = c$ have at least one solution $c$ in $\mathbb{Q}^+$?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incircle $O$ and side lengths $5, 8$, and $9$. Consider the other tangent line to $O$ parallel to $BC$, which intersects $AB$ at $B_a$ and $AC$ at $C_a$. Let $r_a$ be the inradius of triangle $AB_aC_a$, and define $r_b$ and $r_c$ similarly. Find $r_a + r_b + r_c$.

$24! = 620,448,401,733,239,439,360,000$ ends in four zeros, and $25!=15,511,210,043,330,985,984,000,000$ ends in six zeros. Thus, there is no integer $n$ such that $n!$ ends in exactly five zeros. Let $S$ be the set of all $k$ such that for no integer n does $n!$ end in exactly $k$ zeros. If the numbers in $S$ are listed in increasing order, 5 will be the first number. Find the 100th number in that list.

On the exterior of $ABC$, we construct three pairs of similar triangles: $BDM$,$DCN$ on $BD$,$DC$, $CEP$,$EAQ$ on $CE$,$EA$, and $AFR$,$FBS$ on $AF$, $FB$.

On a plane there is an invisible [color=#eee]rabbit[/color] (rabbit) hiding on a lattice point. We want to put $n$ hunters on some lattice points to catch the rabbit. In a turn each hunter can choose to shoot to left/right or top/bottom direction. On the $i$th turn there will be these steps in order 1. The rabbit jumps to an adjacent lattice point on the top, bottom, left, or right. 2. item Each hunter moves to an adjacent lattice point on the top, bottom, left or right (each hunter can move to different direction). Then they shoot a bullet which travels $\frac{334111214}{334111213}i$ units on the directions they chose. If a bullet hits the rabbit then it is caught. Find the smallest number $n$ such that the rabbit would definitely be caught in a finite number of turns. [i]Proposed by tob8y[/i]

Sir Alex plays the following game on a row of 9 cells. Initially, all cells are empty. In each move, Sir Alex is allowed to perform exactly one of the following two operations: [list=1] [*] Choose any number of the form $2^j$, where $j$ is a non-negative integer, and put it into an empty cell. [*] Choose two (not necessarily adjacent) cells with the same number in them; denote that number by $2^j$. Replace the number in one of the cells with $2^{j+1}$ and erase the number in the other cell. [/list] At the end of the game, one cell contains $2^n$, where $n$ is a given positive integer, while the other cells are empty. Determine the maximum number of moves that Sir Alex could have made, in terms of $n$. [i]Proposed by Warut Suksompong, Thailand[/i]

Three elements of a diagram are called [i]adjacent[/i] if there are integers $i$ and $j$ with $i \geq 0$ and $j \geq 0$ such that the three elements are [b](i)[/b] $n_{ij}, n_{i,j+1}, n_{i,j+2},$ or [b](ii)[/b] $n_{ij}, n_{i+1,j}, n_{i+2,j} ,$ or [b](iii)[/b] $n_{i+2,j}, n_{i+1,j+1}, n_{i,j+2}.$ An elementary operation on a diagram is an operation by which three [i]adjacent[/i] elements $n_{ij}$ are changed into $n_{ij}'$ in such a way that $|n_{ij}-n_{ij}'|=1.$ Two diagrams are called equivalent if one of them can be changed into the other by a finite sequence of elementary operations. How many inequivalent diagrams exist?
