Tags: geometry , circles
A circle with diameter $AB$ is drawn, and the point $ P$ is chosen on segment $AB$ so that $\frac{AP}{AB} =\frac{1}{42}$ . Two new circles $a$ and $b$ are drawn with diameters $AP$ and $PB$ respectively. The perpendicular line to $AB$ passing through $ P$ intersects the circle twice at points $S$ and $T$ . Two more circles $s$ and $t$ are drawn with diameters $SP$ and $ST$ respectively. For any circle $\omega$ let $A(\omega)$ denote the area of the circle. What is $\frac{A(s)+A(t)}{A(a)+A(b)}$?

Call a positive integer an uphill integer if every digit is strictly greater than the previous digit. For example, $1357, 89,\text{and } 5$ are all uphill integers, but $32, 1240, \text{and } 466$ are not. How many uphill integers are divisible by $15$? $\textbf{(A)}\ 4 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 5 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 6 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 7 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 8$

The plane shows $2020$ straight lines in general position, that is, there are none three intersecting at one point but no two parallel. Let's say, that the drawn line $a$ [i]detaches [/i] the drawn line $b$ if all intersection points of line $b$ with the other drawn lines lie in one half plane wrt to line $a$ (given the most straightforward $a$). Prove that you can be guaranteed find two drawn lines $a$ and $b$ that $a$ detaches $b$, but $b$ does not detach $a$.

In a culturing of bacteria, there are two species of them: red and blue bacteria. When two red bacteria meet, they transform into one blue bacterium. When two blue bacteria meet, they transform into four red bacteria. When a red and a blue bacteria meet, they transform into three red bacteria. Find, in function of the amount of blue bacteria and the red bacteria initially in the culturing, all possible amounts of bacteria, and for every possible amount, the possible amounts of red and blue bacteria.

There are only two letters in the Mumu tribe alphabet: M and $U$. The word in the Mumu language is any sequence of letters $M$ and $U$, in which next to each letter $M$ there is a letter $U$ (for example, $UUU$ and $UMMUM$ are words and $MMU$ is not). Let $f(m,u)$ denote the number of words in the Mumu language which have $m$ times the letter $M$ and $u$ times the letter $U$. Prove that $f (m, u) - f (2u - m + 1, u) = f (m, u - 1) - f (2u - m + 1, u - 1)$ for any $u \ge 2,3 \le m \le 2u$.
