Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with \[\angle ADC = 90^\circ, \ \ \angle BCD = \angle ABC > 90^\circ, \mbox{ and } AB = 2CD.\] The line through \(C\), parallel to \(AD\), intersects the external angle bisector of \(\angle ABC\) at point \(T\). Prove that the angles $\angle ATB$, $\angle TBC$, $\angle BCD$, $\angle CDA$, $\angle DAT$ can be divided into two groups, so that the angles in each group have a sum of $270^{\circ}$.

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. There is a magic box $T$. At any point, an element of $G$ may be added to the box and all elements belonging to the subgroup (of $G$) generated by the elements currently inside $T$ are moved from outside $T$ to inside (unless they are already inside). Initially $
T$ contains only the group identity, $1_G$. Alice and Bob take turns moving an element from outside $T$ to inside it. Alice moves first. Whoever cannot make a move loses. Find all $G$ for which Bob has a winning strategy.

Define $f(x, y)$ to be $\frac{|x|}{|y|}$ if that value is a positive integer, $\frac{|y|}{|x|}$ if that value is a positive integer, and zero otherwise. We say that a sequence of integers $\ell_1$ through $\ell_n$ is [i]good [/i] if $f(\ell_i, \ell_{i+1})$ is nonzero for all $i$ where $1 \le i \le n - 1$, and the score of the sequence is $\sum^{n-1}_{i=1} f(\ell_i, \ell_{i+1})$
