A candy store has $100$ pieces of candy to give away. When you get to the store, there are five people in front of you, numbered from $1$ to $5$. The $i$th person in line considers the set of positive integers congruent to $i$ modulo $5$ which are at most the number of pieces of candy remaining. If this set is empty, then they take no candy. Otherwise they pick an element of this set and take that many pieces of candy. For example, the first person in line will pick an integer from the set $\{1,6,\dots,96\}$ and take that many pieces of candy. How many ways can the first five people take their share of candy so that after they are done there are at least $35$ pieces of candy remaining?

Three distinct points $A$, $B$, and $C$ are fixed on a line in this order. Let $\Gamma$ be a circle passing through $A$ and $C$ whose center does not lie on the line $AC$. Denote by $P$ the intersection of the tangents to $\Gamma$ at $A$ and $C$. Suppose $\Gamma$ meets the segment $PB$ at $Q$. Prove that the intersection of the bisector of $\angle AQC$ and the line $AC$ does not depend on the choice of $\Gamma$.

A digital display shows the current date as an $8$-digit integer consisting of a $4$-digit year, followed by a $2$-digit month, followed by a $2$-digit date within the month. For example, Arbor Day this year is displayed as 20230428. For how many dates in $2023$ will each digit appear an even number of times in the 8-digital display for that date? $\textbf{(A)}~5\qquad\textbf{(B)}~6\qquad\textbf{(C)}~7\qquad\textbf{(D)}~8\qquad\textbf{(E)}~9$

Let $\mathbb N$ be the set of positive integers. Find all functions $f: \mathbb N \to \mathbb N$ that satisfy the equation \[ f^{abc-a}(abc) + f^{abc-b}(abc) + f^{abc-c}(abc) = a + b + c \] for all $a,b,c \ge 2$.

From a point $O$ lying outside the circle $\omega$, two tangents are drawn touching $\omega$ at points $M$ and $N$. A point $K$ is chosen on the segment $MN$. Let points $P$ and $Q$ be the midpoints of segments $KM$ and $OM$ respectively. The circumcircle of triangle $MPQ$ intersects $\omega$ again at point $L$ ($L \neq M$).
