Find all positive real numbers \((a,b,c) \leq 1\) which satisfy \[ \huge \min \Bigg\{ \sqrt{\frac{ab+1}{abc}}\, \sqrt{\frac{bc+1}{abc}}, \sqrt{\frac{ac+1}{abc}} \Bigg \} = \sqrt{\frac{1-a}{a}} + \sqrt{\frac{1-b}{b}} + \sqrt{\frac{1-c}{c}}\]

A solid in Euclidean $3$-space extends from $z = \frac{-h}{2}$ to $z = \frac{+h}{2}$ and the area of the section $z = k$ is a polynomial in $k$ of degree at most $3$. Show that the volume of the solid is $\frac{h(B + 4M + T)}{6},$ where $B$ is the area of the bottom $(z = \frac{-h}{2})$, $M$ is the area of the middle section $(z = 0),$ and $T$ is the area of the top $(z = \frac{h}{2})$. Derive the formulae for the volumes of a cone and a sphere.

Let $n>2$ be a positive integer. Consider all numbers $S$ of the form \begin{align*} S= a_1 a_2 + a_2 a_3 + \ldots + a_{k-1} a_k \end{align*} with $k>1$ and $a_i$ begin positive integers such that $a_1+a_2+ \ldots + a_k=n$. Determine all the numbers that can be represented in the given form.

Alex scans the list of integers between $1$ and $2020$ inclusive using the following algorithm. First, he reads off perfect squares between $1$ and $2020$ in ascending order and removes these numbers from the list. Next, he reads off numbers now at perfect square indices in ascending order, which are $2$, $6$, $12$, $...$, and removes these numbers from the list. He repeats this algorithm until he reads off $2020$, which is the nth number he has read o so far. Compute $n$.

Two concentric circles have radii $1$ and $4$. Six congruent circles form a ring where each of the six circles is tangent to the two circles adjacent to it as shown. The three lightly shaded circles are internally tangent to the circle with radius $4$ while the three darkly shaded circles are externally tangent to the circle with radius $1$. The radius of the six congruent circles can be written $\textstyle\frac{k+\sqrt m}n$, where $k,m,$ and $n$ are integers with $k$ and $n$ relatively prime. Find $k+m+n$.

All faces of the parallelepiped $ABCDA_1B_1C_1D_1$ are equal rhombuses. Plane angles at vertex $A$ are equal. Points $K$ and $M$ are taken on the edges $A_1B_1$ and $A_1D_1$. It is known that $A_1K = a$, $A_1M = b$, and$ a + b$ is an edge of the parallelepiped. Prove that the plane $AKM$ touches the sphere inscribed in the parallelepiped. Let us denote by $Q$ the touchpoint of this sphere with the plane $AKM $. In what ratio does the straight line $AQ$ divide the segment $KM$?

For a positive integer $n$, let $s(n)$ be the number of ways that $n$ can be written as the sum of strictly increasing perfect $2010^{\text{th}}$ powers. For instance, $s(2) = 0$ and $s(1^{2010} + 2^{2010}) = 1$. Show that for every real number $x$, there exists an integer $N$ such that for all $n > N$, \[\frac{\max_{1 \leq i \leq n} s(i)}{n} > x.\] [i]Alex Zhu.[/i]

(i) 15 chairs are equally placed around a circular table on which are name cards for 15 guests. The guests fail to notice these cards until after they have sat down, and it turns out that no one is sitting in the correct seat. Prove that the table can be rotated so that at least two of the guests are simultaneously correctly seated. (ii) Give an example of an arrangement in which just one of the 15 guests is correctly seated and for which no rotation correctly places more than one person.
