Adithya and Bill are playing a game on a connected graph with $n > 2$ vertices, two of which are labeled $A$ and $B$, so that $A$ and $B$ are distinct and non-adjacent and known to both players. Adithya starts on vertex $A$ and Bill starts on $B$. Each turn, both players move simultaneously: Bill moves to an adjacent vertex, while Adithya may either move to an adjacent vertex or stay at his current vertex. Adithya loses if he is on the same vertex as Bill, and wins if he reaches $B$ alone. Adithya cannot see where Bill is, but Bill can see where Adithya is. Given that Adithya has a winning strategy, what is the maximum possible number of edges the graph may have? (Your answer may be in terms of $n$.) [i]Proposed by Steven Liu[/i]

On a circle with diameter $AC$, let $B$ be an arbitrary point distinct from $A$ and $C$. Points $M, N$ are the midpoints of chords $AB, BC$, and points $P, Q$ are the midpoints of smaller arcs restricted by these chords. Lines $AQ$ and $BC$ meet at point $K$, and lines $CP$ and $AB$ meet at point $L$. Prove that lines $MQ, NP$ and $KL$ concur.

In a coordinate system there are drawn the graphs of the functions $y=ax+b$ and $y=bx+a, (a\neq b)$. Their intersection is marked with red and their intersections with the $Oy$ axis are marked with blue. Everything is erased except the marked points. Using only a ruler and a compass, find the origin of the coordinate system.

Alice and Bob play a game, in which they take turns drawing segments of length $1$ in the Euclidean plane. Alice begins, drawing the first segment, and from then on, each segment must start at the endpoint of the previous segment. It is not permitted to draw the segment lying over the preceding one. If the new segment shares at least one point - except for its starting point - with one of the previously drawn segments, one has lost. a) Show that both Alice and Bob could force the game to end, if they don’t care who wins. b) Is there a winning strategy for one of them?

Triangle $ABC$ is an isosceles right triangle with $AB=AC=3$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of hypotenuse $\overline{BC}$. Points $I$ and $E$ lie on sides $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{AB}$, respectively, so that $AI>AE$ and $AIME$ is a cyclic quadrilateral. Given that triangle $EMI$ has area $2$, the length $CI$ can be written as $\frac{a-\sqrt{b}}{c}$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is the value of $a+b+c$? $ \textbf{(A) }9 \qquad \textbf{(B) }10 \qquad \textbf{(C) }11 \qquad \textbf{(D) }12 \qquad \textbf{(E) }13 \qquad $
