$ABCD$ is a rectangle with $AB = CD = 2$. A circle centered at $O$ is tangent to $BC$, $CD$, and $AD$ (and hence has radius $1$). Another circle, centered at $P$, is tangent to circle $O$ at point $T$ and is also tangent to $AB$ and $BC$. If line $AT$ is tangent to both circles at $T$, find the radius of circle $P$.

Allen and Alan play a game. A nonconstant polynomial $P(x,y)$ with real coefficients and a positive integer $d$ greater than the degree of $P$ are known to both Allen and Alan. Alan thinks of a polynomial $Q(x,y)$ with real coefficients and degree at most $d$ and keeps it secret. Allen can make queries of the form $(s,t)$, where $s$ and $t$ are real numbers such that $P(s,t)\neq0$. Alan must respond with the value $Q(s,t)$. Allen's goal is to determine whether $P$ divides $Q$. Find (in terms of $P$ and $d$) the smallest positive integer, $g$, such that Allen can always achieve this goal making no more than $g$ queries.

A bagel is a loop of $2a+2b+4$ unit squares which can be obtained by cutting a concentric $a\times b$ hole out of an $(a +2)\times (b+2)$ rectangle, for some positive integers a and b. (The side of length a of the hole is parallel to the side of length $a+2$ of the rectangle.)
Consider an infinite grid of unit square cells. For each even integer $n \ge 8$, a bakery of order $n$ is a finite set of cells $ S$ such that, for every $n$-cell bagel $B$ in the grid, there exists a congruent copy of $B$ all of whose cells are in $S$. (The copy can be translated and rotated.) We denote by $f(n)$ the smallest possible number of cells in a bakery of order $ n$.
Find a real number $\alpha$ such that, for all sufficiently large even integers $n \ge 8$, we have $$\frac{1}{100}<\frac{f (n)}{n^ {\alpha}}<100$$

A set $A$ is endowed with a binary operation $*$ satisfying the following four conditions:
(1) If $a, b, c$ are elements of $A$, then $a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c$ ,
(2) If $a, b, c$ are elements of $A$ such that $a * c = b *c$, then $a = b$ ,
(3) There exists an element $e$ of $A$ such that $a * e = a$ for all $a$ in $A$, and
(4) If a and b are distinct elements of $A-\{e\}$, then $a^3 * b = b^3 * a^2$, where $x^k = x * x^{k-1}$ for all integers $k \ge 2$ and all $x$ in $A$.
Determine the largest cardinality $A$ may have.

In the fictional country of Mahishmati, there are $50$ cities, including a capital city. Some pairs of cities are connected by two-way flights. Given a city $A$, an ordered list of cities $C_1,\ldots, C_{50}$ is called an [i]antitour[/i] from $A$ if
[list]
[*] every city (including $A$) appears in the list exactly once, and
[*] for each $k\in \{1,2,\ldots, 50\}$, it is impossible to go from $A$ to $C_k$ by a sequence of exactly $k$ (not necessarily distinct) flights.
