Initially, the numbers $1,3,4$ are written on a board. We do the following process repeatedly. Consider all of the numbers that can be obtained as the sum of $3$ distinct numbers written on the board and that aren't already written, and we write those numbers on the board. We repeat this process, until at a certain step, all of the numbers in that step are greater than $2024$. Determine all of the integers $1\leq k\leq 2024$ that were not written on the board.

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle with side length $BC= 4\sqrt{6}$. Denote $\omega$ as the circumcircle of $\triangle{ABC}$. Point $D$ lies on $\omega$ such that $AD$ is the diameter of $\omega$. Let $N$ be the midpoint of arc $BC$ that contains $A$. $H$ is the intersection of the altitudes in $\triangle{ABC}$ and it is given that $HN = HD= 6$. If the area of $\triangle{ABC}$ can be expressed as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$, where $a,b,c$ are positive integers with $a$ and $c$ relatively prime and $b$ not divisible by the square of any prime, compute $a+b+c$.

In an acute triangle $ABC$ , the bisector of angle $\angle A$ intersects the circumscribed circle of the triangle $ABC$ at the point $W$. From point $W$ , a parallel is drawn to the side $AB$, which intersects this circle at the point $F \ne W$. Describe the construction of the triangle $ABC$, if given are the segments $FA$ , $FW$ and $\angle FAC$. (Andrey Mostovy)

For a positive integer $n$, define $d(n)$ to be the sum of the digits of $n$ when written in binary (for example, $d(13)=1+1+0+1=3$). Let \[ S=\sum_{k=1}^{2020}(-1)^{d(k)}k^3. \] Determine $S$ modulo $2020$.

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers. For a connected simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, we consider the number $N(G)$ of orientations of (all of) its edges so that, in the resulting directed graph, every vertex has even outdegree. Show that $N(G)$ only depends on $m$ and $n$, and determine its value.

Amir and Bella play a game on a gameboard with $6$ spaces, labeled $0, 1, 2, 3, 4,$ and $5.$ Each turn, each player flips a coin. If it is heads, their character moves forward one space, and if it is tails, their character moves back one space, unless it was already at space $0,$ in which case it moves forward one space instead. If Amir and Bella each have a character that starts at space $0,$ the probability that they end turn $5$ on the same space can be expressed as a common fraction $\tfrac{a}{b}.$ Find $a+b.$
