Some marbles in a bag are red and the rest are blue. If one red marble is removed, then one-seventh of the remaining marbles are red. If two blue marbles are removed instead of one red, then one-fifth of the remaining marbles are red. How many marbles were in the bag originally? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 8 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 22 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 36 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 57 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 71 $

Given a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$, let it's diagonals intersect at the point $O$. Take the midpoints of $AD$ and $BC$ as $M$ and $N$ respectively. Take a point $S$ on the arc $AB$ not containing $C$ or $D$ such that $$\angle SMA=\angle SNB$$ Prove that if the diagonals of the quadrilateral made from the lines $SM$, $SN$, $AB$, and $CD$ intersect at the point $T$, then $S$, $O$, and $T$ are collinear.

A permutation of a set is a bijection from the set to itself. For example, if $\sigma$ is the permutation $1 7\mapsto 3$, $2 \mapsto 1$, and $3 \mapsto 2$, and we apply it to the ordered triplet $(1, 2, 3)$, we get the reordered triplet $(3, 1, 2)$. Let $\sigma$ be a permutation of the set $\{1, ... , n\}$. Let $$\theta_k(m) = \begin{cases} m + 1 & \text{for} \,\, m < k\\ 1 & \text{for} \,\, m = k\\ m & \text{for} \,\, m > k\end{cases}$$ Call a finite sequence $\{a_i\}^{j}_{i=1}$ a disentanglement of $\sigma$ if $\theta_{a_j} \circ ...\circ \theta_{a_j} \circ \sigma$ is the identity permutation. For example, when $\sigma = (3, 2, 1)$, then $\{2, 3\}$ is a disentaglement of $\sigma$. Let $f(\sigma)$ denote the minimum number $k$ such that there is a disentanglement of $\sigma$ of length $k$. Let $g(n)$ be the expected value for $f(\sigma)$ if $\sigma$ is a random permutation of $\{1, ... , n\}$. What is $g(6)$?

Let $\lambda$ be a line and let $M, N$ be two points on $\lambda$. Circles $\alpha$ and $\beta$ centred at $A$ and $B$ respectively are both tangent to $\lambda$ at $M$, with $A$ and $B$ being on opposite sides of $\lambda$. Circles $\gamma$ and $\delta$ centred at $C$ and $D$ respectively are both tangent to $\lambda$ at $N$, with $C$ and $D$ being on opposite sides of $\lambda$. Moreover $A$ and $C$ are on the same side of $\lambda$. Prove that if there exists a circle tangent to all circles $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ containing all of them in its interior, then the lines $AC, BD$ and $\lambda$ are either concurrent or parallel.

During his excursion to the historical park, Pepito set out to collect stones whose weight in kilograms is a power of two. Once the first stone has been collected, Pepito only collects stones strictly heavier than the first. At the end of the excursion, her partner Ana chooses a positive integer $K \ge 2$ and challenges Pepito to divide the stones into $K$ groups of equal weight. a) Can Pepito meet the challenge if all the stones he collected have different weights? b) Can Pepito meet the challenge if some collected stones are allowed to have equal weight?
