For every ordered pair of integers $(i,j)$, not necessarily positive, we wish to select a point $P_{i,j}$ in the Cartesian plane whose coordinates lie inside the unit square defined by \[ i < x < i+1, \qquad j < y < j+1. \] Find all real numbers $c > 0$ for which it's possible to choose these points such that for all integers $i$ and $j$, the (possibly concave or degenerate) quadrilateral $P_{i,j} P_{i+1,j} P_{i+1,j+1} P_{i,j+1}$ has perimeter strictly less than $c$.

2017 Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament, 8

You have $128$ teams in a single elimination tournament. The Engineers and the Crimson are two of these teams. Each of the $128$ teams in the tournament is equally strong, so during each match, each team has an equal probability of winning. Now, the $128$ teams are randomly put into the bracket. What is the probability that the Engineers play the Crimson sometime during the tournament?

A simplified model of a bicycle of mass $M$ has two tires that each comes into contact with the ground at a point. The wheelbase of this bicycle (the distance between the points of contact with the ground) is $w$, and the center of mass of the bicycle is located midway between the tires and a height h above the ground. The bicycle is moving to the right, but slowing down at a constant rate. The acceleration has a magnitude $a$. Air resistance may be ignored.
