Petya and Vasya only know positive integers not exceeding $10^9-4000$. Petya considers numbers as good which are representable in the form $abc+ab+ac+bc$, where $a,b$ and $c$ are natural numbers not less than $100$. Vasya considers numbers as good which are representable in the form $xyz-x-y-z$, where $x,y$ and $z$ are natural numbers strictly bigger than $100$. For which of them are there more good numbers?

Lines parallel to the sides of an equilateral triangle are drawn so that they cut each of the sides into n equal segments and the triangle into n congruent triangles. Each of these n triangles is called a “cell”. Also lines parallel to each of the sides of the original triangle are drawn through each of the vertices of the original triangle. The cells between any two adjacent parallel lines form a “stripe”. (a) If $n =10$, what is the maximum number of cells that can be chosen so that no two chosen cells belong to one stripe? (b)The same question for $n = 9$. (R Zhenodarov)

We are given a triangle $ABC$ in a plane $P$. To any line $D$, not parallel to any side of the triangle, we associate the barycenter $G_D$ of the set of intersection points of $D$ with the sides of $\triangle ABC$. The object of this problem is determining the set $\mathfrak F$ of points $G_D$ when $D$ varies. (a) If $D$ goes over all lines parallel to a given line $\delta$, prove that $G_D$ describes a line $\Delta_\delta$. (b) Assume $\triangle ABC$ is equilateral. Prove that all lines $\Delta_\delta$ are tangent to the same circle as $\delta$ varies, and describe the set $\mathfrak F$. (c) If $ABC$ is an arbitrary triangle, prove that one can find a plane $P$ and an equilateral triangle $A'B'C'$ whose orthogonal projection onto $P$ is $\triangle ABC$, and describe the set $\mathfrak F$ in the general case.

Michael, David, Evan, Isabella, and Justin compete in the NIMO Super Bowl, a round-robin cereal-eating tournament. Each pair of competitors plays exactly one game, in which each competitor has an equal chance of winning (and there are no ties). The probability that none of the five players wins all of his/her games is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$, $n$. Compute $100m + n$. [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

Four congruent and pairwise externally tangent circles are inscribed in square $ABCD$ as shown. The ray through $A$ passing through the center of the square hits the opposing circle at point $E$, shown in the diagram below. Given $AE= 5 + 2\sqrt{2}$, the area of the square can be expressed as $a + b\sqrt{c}$, where $a$, $b$, $c$ are positive integers and $c$ is square-free.
