The perpendicular bisectors of the sides $[AD]$ and $[BC]$ intersect at a point $P$ inside the quadrilateral and the perpendicular bisectors of the sides $[AB]$ and $[CD]$ also intersect at a point $Q$ inside the quadrilateral.

Set $\mathbb Q_1=\{x\in\mathbb Q\mid x\ge1\}$. Suppose that a function $f:\mathbb Q_1\to\mathbb R$ satisfies the inequality $\left|f(x+y)-f(x)-f(y)\right|<\epsilon$ for all $x,y\in\mathbb Q_1$, where $\epsilon>0$ is given. Prove that there exists a real number $q$ such that
$$\left|\frac{f(x)}x-q\right|<2\epsilon\qquad\text{for all }x\in\mathbb Q_1.$$

An $n$ by $n$ grid, where every square contains a number, is called an $n$-code if the numbers in every row and column form an arithmetic progression. If it is sufficient to know the numbers in certain squares of an $n$-code to obtain the numbers in the entire grid, call these squares a key.
[b]a.) [/b]Find the smallest $s \in \mathbb{N}$ such that any $s$ squares in an $n-$code $(n \geq 4)$ form a key.
[b]b.)[/b] Find the smallest $t \in \mathbb{N}$ such that any $t$ squares along the diagonals of an $n$-code $(n \geq 4)$ form a key.

In tetrahedron $SABC$, the circumcircles of faces $SAB$, $SBC$, and $SCA$ each have radius $108$. The inscribed sphere of $SABC$, centered at $I$, has radius $35.$ Additionally, $SI = 125$. Let $R$ be the largest possible value of the circumradius of face $ABC$. Given that $R$ can be expressed in the form $\sqrt{\frac{m}{n}}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n$.

In the beginning, the number 1 is written on the board 9999 times. We are allowed to perform the following actions:
[list]
[*] Erase four numbers of the form $x,x,y,y$, and instead write the two numbers $x+y,x-y$. (The order or location of the erased numbers does not matter)
[*] Erase the number 0 from the board, if it's there.
[/list]
Is it possible to reach a state where:
[list=a]
[*] Only one number remains on the board?
[*] At most three numbers remain on the board?
[/list]

Rachel the unicorn lives on the numberline at the number $0$. One day, Rachel decides she’d like to travel the world and visit the numbers $1, 2, 3, \ldots, 31$.
She starts off at the number $0$, with a list of the numbers she wants to visit: $1, 2, 3, \ldots , 31$. Rachel then picks one of the numbers on her list uniformly at random, crosses it off the list, and travels to that number in a straight line path. She repeats this process until she has crossed off and visited all thirty-one of the numbers from her original list. At the end of her trip, she returns to her home at $0$. What is the expected length of Rachel’s round trip?

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a tree graph with $n$ vertices, and let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane with no three points collinear. Is it true that for any choice of graph $G$ and set $P$, we can embed $G$ in $P$, i.e., we can find a bijection $f:V\to P$ such that when we draw line segment $[f(x),f(y)]$ for all $(x,y)\in E$, no two such segments intersect each other?

Sophie is at $(0,0)$ on a coordinate grid and would like to get to $(3,3).$ If Sophie is at $(x,y),$ in a single step she can move to one of $(x +1,y), (x,y + 1), (x - 1,y +1),$ or $(x +1,y -1).$ She cannot revisit any points along her path, and neither her $x$-coordinate nor her $y$-coordinate can ever be less than $0$ or greater than $3.$ Compute the number of ways for Sophie to reach $(3,3).$

There are 2020 inhabitants in a town. Before Christmas, they are all happy; but if an inhabitant does not receive any Christmas card from any other inhabitant, he or she will become sad. Unfortunately, there is only one post company which offers only one kind of service: before Christmas, each inhabitant may appoint two different other inhabitants, among which the company chooses one to whom to send a Christmas card on behalf of that inhabitant. It is known that the company makes the choices in such a way that as many inhabitants as possible will become sad. Find the least possible number of inhabitants who will become sad.

The figure shows all 6 colorings with for different colors of a $1\times 1$ square divided in four $\tfrac{1}{2} \times \tfrac{1}{2}$ cells (two colorings are considered equal if one is the result of rotating the other). Each of the $1\times 1$ colorings will be used as a piece for a puzzle. The pieces can be rotated but not reflected. Two pieces [i]fit[/i] if when sharing a side, the touching $\tfrac{1}{2} \times \tfrac{1}{2}$ cells are the same color respectively (see examples). ¿Is it possible to assemble a $3 \times 2$ puzzle using each of the 6 pieces exactly once and such that every pair of adjacent pieces fit?
