Find the total number of $k$-tuples $(n_1,n_2,...,n_k)$ of positive integers so that $n_{i+1}\ge n_i$ for each $i$, and $k$ regular polygons with numbers of sides $n_1,n_2,...,n_k$ respectively will fit into a tesselation at a point. That is, the sum of one interior angle from each of the polygons is $360^{\circ}$.

2022 CMIMC, 1.5
At CMIMC headquarters, there is a row of $n$ lightbulbs, each of which is connected to a light switch. Daniel the electrician knows that exactly one of the switches doesn't work, and needs to find out which one. Every second, he can do exactly one of 3 things:
[list]
[*] Flip a switch, changing the lightbulb from off/on or on/off (unless the switch is broken).
[*] Check if a given lightbulb is on or off.
[*] Measure the total electricity usage of all the lightbulbs, which tells him exactly how many are currently on.
[/list]
Initially, all the lightbulbs are off. Daniel was given the very difficult task of finding the broken switch in at most $n$ seconds, but fortunately he showed up to work 10 seconds early today. What is the largest possible value $n$ such that he can complete his task on time?

Heather compares the price of a new computer at two different stores. Store A offers $ 15\%$ off the sticker price followed by a $ \$90$ rebate, and store B offers $ 25\%$ off the same sticker price with no rebate. Heather saves $ \$15$ by buying the computer at store A instead of store B. What is the sticker price of the computer, in dollars?

2021 USAMTS Problems, 1
In the grid below, draw horizontal and vertical segments of unit length joining pairs of adjacent dots (some have been given to you) so that
$1.$ every dot is connected by line segments to exactly $1$ or $3$ adjacent dots,
$2.$ any dot can be reached from any other dot by following a path of segments, and
$3.$ no area is completely enclosed by segments.
Note: “Unit length” is the length between two adjacent dots when there is no missing dot between them. For example, we cannot draw a vertical line segment down from the dot in the top right corner because the length of this segment would be 2 units.
There is a unique solution, but you do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible. You merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)
