Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute scalene triangle with circumcircle $\omega$. The tangents to $\omega$ at $B$ and $C$ intersect at $T$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be the projections of $T$ onto lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Suppose $BT=CT=16$, $BC=22$, and $TX^2+TY^2+XY^2=1143$. Find $XY^2$.
A right circular cone has base radius $ r$ and height $ h$. The cone lies on its side on a flat table. As the cone rolls on the surface of the table without slipping, the point where the cone's base meets the table traces a circular arc centered at the point where the vertex touches the table. The cone first returns to its original position on the table after making $ 17$ complete rotations. The value of $ h/r$ can be written in the form $ m\sqrt {n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers and $ n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.
13. The triangle with vertices $(0,0), (a,b)$, and $(a,-b)$ has area $10$. Find the sum of all possible positive integer values of $a$, given that $b$ is a positive integer.
14. Elsa is venturing into the unknown. She stands on $(0,0)$ in the coordinate plane, and each second, she moves to one of the four lattice points nearest her, chosen at random and with equal probability. If she ever moves to a lattice point she has stood on before, she has ventured back into the known, and thus stops venturing into the unknown from then on. After four seconds have passed, the probability that Elsa is still venturing into the unknown can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ in simplest terms. Find $a+b$.
(A lattice point is a point with integer coordinates.)
15. Let $ABCD$ be a square with side length $4$. Points $X, Y,$ and $Z$, distinct from points $A, B, C,$ and $D$, are selected on sides $AD, AB,$ and $CD$, respectively, such that $XY = 3, XZ = 4$, and $\angle YXZ = 90^{\circ}$. If $AX = \frac{a}{b}$ in simplest terms, then find $a + b$.
Actually, this is an MO I participated in :) but it's really hard to get problems from this year if you don't know some people.
P1. Let $f$ be a function satisfying $f(x + 1) + f(x - 1) = \sqrt{2} f(x)$, for all reals $x$. If $f(x - 1) = a$ and $f(x) = b$, determine the value of $f(x + 4)$.
[hide=Remarks]We found out that this is the modified version of a problem from LMNAS UGM 2008, Senior High School Level, on its First Round. This is also the same with Arthur Engel's "Problem Solving Strategies" Book, Example Problem E2.[/hide]
P2. The sequence of "Sanga" numbers is formed by the following procedure.
i. Pick a positive integer $n$.
ii. The first term of the sequence $(U_1)$ is $9n$.
iii. For $k \geq 2$, $U_k = U_{k-1} - 17$.
Sanga$[r]$ is the "Sanga" sequence whose smallest positive term is $r$.
As an example, for $n = 3$, the "Sanga" sequence which is formed is $27, 10, -7, -24, -41, \ldots.$ Since the smallest positive term of such sequence is $10$, for $n = 3$, the sequence formed is called Sanga$[10]$. For $n \leq 100$, determine the sum of all $n$ which makes the sequence Sanga$[4]$.
P3. The cube $ABCD.EFGH$ has an edge length of 6 cm. Point $R$ is on the extension of line (segment) $EH$ with $EH : ER = 1 : 2$, such that triangle $AFR$ cuts edge $GH$ at point $P$ and cuts edge $DH$ at $Q$. Determine the area of the region bounded by the quadrilateral $AFPQ$.
[url=https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1h2395046p19649729]P4[/url]. Ten skydivers are planning to form a circle formation when they are in the air by holding hands with both adjacent skydivers. If each person has 2 choices for the colour of his/her uniform to be worn, that is, red or white, determine the number of different colour formations that can be constructed.
P5. After pressing the start button, a game machine works according to the following procedure.
i. It picks 7 numbers randomly from 1 to 9 (these numbers are integers, not stated but corrected) without showing it on screen.
ii. It shows the product of the seven chosen numbes on screen.
iii. It shows a calculator menu (it does not function as a calculator) on screen and asks the player whether the sum of the seven chosen numbers is odd or even.
iv. Shows the seven chosen numbers and their sum and products.
v. Releases a prize if the guess of the player was correct or shows the message "Try again" on screen if the guess by the player was incorrect. (Although the player is not allowed to guess with those numbers, and the machine's procedures are started all over again.)
Kiki says that this game is really easy since the probability of winning is greater than $90$%. Explain, whether you agree with Kiki.
In the Cartesian plane let $A = (1,0)$ and $B = \left( 2, 2\sqrt{3} \right)$. Equilateral triangle $ABC$ is constructed so that $C$ lies in the first quadrant. Let $P=(x,y)$ be the center of $\triangle ABC$. Then $x \cdot y$ can be written as $\tfrac{p\sqrt{q}}{r}$, where $p$ and $r$ are relatively prime positive integers and $q$ is an integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $p+q+r$.

A right prism with height $h$ has bases that are regular hexagons with sides of length $12$. A vertex $A$ of the prism and its three adjacent vertices are the vertices of a triangular pyramid.

Find $h^2$.

The $8$ eyelets for the lace of a sneaker all lie on a rectangle, four equally spaced on each of the longer sides. The rectangle has a width of $50$ mm and a length of $80$ mm. There is one eyelet at each vertex of the rectangle. The lace itself must pass between the vertex eyelets along a width side of the rectangle and then crisscross between successive eyelets until it reaches the two eyelets at the other width side of the rectrangle as shown. After passing through these final eyelets, each of the ends of the lace must extend at least $200$ mm farther to allow a knot to be tied. Find the minimum length of the lace in millimeters.
