Find all values of parameters $a,b$ for which the polynomial
$$x^4+(2a+1)x^3+(a-1)^2x^2+bx+4$$can be written as a product of two monic quadratic polynomials $\Phi(x)$ and $\Psi(x)$, such that the equation $\Psi(x)=0$ has two distinct roots $\alpha,\beta$ which satisfy $\Phi(\alpha)=\beta$ and $\Phi(\beta)=\alpha$.

Grant is standing at the beginning of a hallway with infinitely many lockers, numbered, $1, 2, 3, \ldots$ All of the lockers are initially closed. Initially, he has some set $S = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots\}$.
Every step, for each element $s$ of $S$, Grant goes through the hallway and opens each locker divisible by $s$ that is closed, and closes each locker divisible by $s$ that is open. Once he does this for all $s$, he then replaces $S$ with the set of labels of the currently open lockers, and then closes every door again.
After $2022$ steps, $S$ has $n$ integers that divide ${10}^{2022}$. Find $n$.

There are $2024$ cities in a country, every two of which are bidirectionally connected by exactly one of three modes of transportation - rail, air, or road. A tourist has arrived in this country and has the entire transportation scheme. He chooses a travel ticket for one of the modes of transportation and the city from which he starts his trip. He wants to visit as many cities as possible, but using only the ticket for the specified type of transportation. What is the largest $k$ for which the tourist will always be able to visit at least $k$ cities? During the route, he can return to the cities he has already visited.

Define [i]glueing[/i] of positive integers as writing their base ten representations one after another and
interpreting the result as the base ten representation of a single positive integer.
Find all positive integers $k$ for which there exists an integer $N_k$ with the following property: for all $n \ge N_k$, we can glue the numbers $1,2,\dots,n$ in some order so that the result is a number divisible by $k$.
[i]Remark[/i]. The base ten representation of a positive integer never starts with zero.
[i]Example[/i]. Glueing $15, 14, 7$ in this order makes $15147$.

Let $A$ be the set of positive integers that have no prime factors other than $2$, $3$, or $5$.

Let $n\ge 3$ be a positive integer. Amy wrote all the integers from $1$ to $n^2$ on the $n\times n$ grid, so that each cell contains exactly one number. For $i=1,2,\cdots ,n^2-1$, the cell containing $i$ shares a common side with the cell containing $i+1$. Each turn, Bred can choose one cell, and check what number is written. Bred wants to know where $1$ is written by less than $3n$ turns. Determine whether $n$ such that Bred can always achieve his goal is infinite.

[i]Wind chill[/i] is a measure of how cold people feel when exposed to wind outside. A good estimate for wind chill can be found using this calculation: $$(\text{wind chill}) = (\text{air temperature}) - 0.7 \times (\text{wind speed}),$$ where temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit $(^{\circ}\text{F})$ and and the wind speed is measured in miles per hour (mph). Suppose the air temperature is $36^{\circ}\text{F} $ and the wind speed is $18$ mph. Which of the following is closest to the approximate wind chill?

Radius of the circle $\omega_A$ with centre at vertex $A$ of a triangle $\triangle{ABC}$ is equal to the radius of the excircle tangent to $BC$. The circles $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ are defined similarly. Prove that if two of these circles are tangent then every two of them are tangent to each other.

(b) every $2$-colouring of $S$ - that is, each point of $S$ is coloured one of two colours - yields (at least) three monochromatic collinear points.

In a triangle, a symmedian is a line through a vertex that is symmetric to the median with the respect to the internal bisector (all relative to the same vertex). In the triangle $ABC$, the median $m_a$ meets $BC$ at $A'$ and the circumcircle again at $A_1$. The symmedian $s_a$ meets $BC$ at $M$ and the circumcircle again at $A_2$. Given that the line $A_1A_2$ contains the circumcenter $O$ of the triangle, prove that:
