Sam writes three $3$-digit positive integers (that don't end in $0$) on the board and adds them together. Jessica reverses each of the integers, and adds the reversals together. (For example, $\overline{XYZ}$ becomes $\overline{ZYX}$.) What is the smallest possible positive three-digit difference between Sam's sum and Jessica's sum?

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle and $\Gamma$ be its circumcircle. Line $\ell$ is tangent to $\Gamma$ at $A$ and let $D$ and $E$ be distinct points on $\ell$ such that $AD = AE$. Suppose that $B$ and $D$ lie on the same side of line $AC$. The circumcircle $\Omega_1$ of $\vartriangle ABD$ meets $AC$ again at $F$. The circumcircle $\Omega_2$ of $\vartriangle ACE$ meets $AB$ again at $G$. The common chord of $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$ meets $\Gamma$ again at $H$. Let $K$ be the reflection of $H$ across line $BC$ and let $L$ be the intersection of $BF$ and $CG$. Prove that $A, K$ and $L$ are collinear.

LMT Team Rounds 2010-20, 2015

[hide=Intro]The answers to each of the ten questions in this section are integers containing only the digits $ 1$ through $ 8$, inclusive. Each answer can be written into the grid on the answer sheet, starting from the cell with the problem number, and continuing across or down until the entire answer has been written. Answers may cross dark lines. If the answers are correctly filled in, it will be uniquely possible to write an integer from $ 1$ to $ 8$ in every cell of the grid, so that each number will appear exactly once in every row, every column, and every marked $2$ by $4$ box. You will get $7$ points for every correctly filled answer, and a $15$ point bonus for filling in every gridcell. It will help to work back and forth between the grid and the problems, although every problem is uniquely solvable on its own. Please write clearly within the boxes. No points will be given for a cell without a number, with multiple numbers, or with illegible handwriting.[/hide] [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/9/b/f4db097a9e3c2602b8608be64f06498bd9d58c.png[/img] [b]1 ACROSS:[/b] Jack puts $ 10$ red marbles, $ 8$ green marbles and 4 blue marbles in a bag.

A number of eight divisors with this unusual property is called the [i]red[/i] number . How many [i]red[/i] numbers smaller than $2014$ exist?

Juku has the first $100$ volumes of the Harrie Totter book series at his home. For every$ i$ and $j$, where $1 \le i < j \le 100$, call the pair $(i, j)$ reversed if volume No. $j$ is before volume No, $i$ on Juku’s shelf. Juku wants to arrange all volumes of the series to one row on his shelf in such a way that there does not exist numbers $i, j, k$, where $1 \le i < j < k \le 100$, such that pairs $(i, j)$ and $(j, k)$ are both reversed. Find the largest number of reversed pairs that can occur under this condition
