Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I.$ The incircle $\omega$ of $ABC$ is tangent to sides $BC, CA,$ and $AB$ at points $D, E,$ and $F,$ respectively. Let $D'$ be the reflection of $D$ over $I.$ Let $P$ be a point on $\omega$ such that $\angle{ADP}=90^\circ.$ $\mathcal{H}$ is a hyperbola passing through $D', E, F, I,$ and $P.$ Given that $\angle{BAD}=45^\circ$ and $\angle{CAD}=30^\circ,$ the acute angle between the asymptotes of $\mathcal{H}$ can be expressed as $\left(\tfrac{m}{n}\right)^\circ,$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n.$

Five cards labeled $1, 3, 5, 7, 9$ are laid in a row in that order, forming the five-digit number $13579$ when read from left to right. A swap consists of picking two distinct cards, and then swapping them. After three swaps, the cards form a new five-digit number n when read from left to right. Compute the expected value of $n$.

$N$ teams take part in a league. Every team plays every other team exactly once during the league, and receives 2 points for each win, 1 point for each draw, and 0 points for each loss. At the end of the league, the sequence of total points in descending order $\mathcal{A} = (a_1 \ge a_2 \ge \cdots \ge a_N )$ is known, as well as which team obtained which score. Find the number of sequences $\mathcal{A}$ such that the outcome of all matches is uniquely determined by this information.

Farmer Tim is lost in the densely-forested Cartesian plane. Starting from the origin he walks a sinusoidal path in search of home; that is, after $t$ minutes he is at position $(t,\sin t)$.
Five minutes after he sets out, Alex enters the forest at the origin and sets out in search of Tim. He walks in such a way that after he has been in the forest for $m$ minutes, his position is $(m,\cos t)$.
What is the greatest distance between Alex and Farmer Tim while they are walking in these paths?

Already the complete problem:
Determine all pairs $(a,b)$ of integers different from $0$ for which it is possible to find a positive integer $x$ and an integer $y$ such that $x$ is relatively prime to $b$ and in the following list there is an infinity of integers:
$\rightarrow\qquad\frac{a + xy}{b}$, $\frac{a + xy^2}{b^2}$, $\frac{a + xy^3}{b^3}$, $\ldots$, $\frac{a + xy^n}{b^n}$, $\ldots$
One idea?

Homer gives mathematicians Patty and Selma each a different integer, not known to
the other or to you. Homer tells them, within each other’s hearing, that the number given to
Patty is the product $ab$ of the positive integers $a$ and $b$, and that the number given to Selma is the sum $a + b$ of the same numbers $a$ and $b$, where $b > a > 1.$ He doesn’t, however, tell Patty or Selma the numbers $a$ and $b.$ The following (honest) conversation then takes place:
Patty: “I can’t tell what numbers $a$ and $b$ are.”
Selma: “I knew before that you couldn’t tell.”
Patty: “In that case, I now know what $a$ and $b$ are.”
Selma: “Now I also know what $a$ and $b$ are.”
Supposing that Homer tells you (but neither Patty nor Selma) that neither $a$ nor $b$ is greater than 20, find $a$ and $b$, and prove your answer can result in the conversation above.

An $n\times n$ square ($n$ is a positive integer) consists of $n^2$ unit squares.A $\emph{monotonous path}$ in this square is a path of length $2n$ beginning in the left lower corner of the square,ending in its right upper corner and going along the sides of unit squares.
For each $k$, $0\leq k\leq 2n-1$, let $S_k$ be the set of all the monotonous paths such that the number of unit squares lying below the path leaves remainder $k$ upon division by $2n-1$.Prove that all $S_k$ contain equal number of elements.
