As shown below, there is a $40\times30$ paper with a filled $10\times5$ rectangle inside of it. We want to cut out the filled rectangle from the paper using four straight cuts. Each straight cut is a straight line that divides the paper into two pieces, and we keep the piece containing the filled rectangle. The goal is to minimize the total length of the straight cuts. How to achieve this goal, and what is that minimized length? Show the correct cuts and write the final answer. There is no need to prove the answer. [i]Proposed by Morteza Saghafian[/i]

In the plane, a set of points $ M $ is given with the following properties: 1. The points of the set $ M $ do not lie on one straight line, 2. If the points $ A, B, C$, and $D$ are vertices of a parallelogram and $ A, B, C \in M $, then $ D \in M $, 3. If $ A, B \in M $, then $ AB \geq 1 $. Prove that there exist two families of parallel lines such that $ M $ is the set of all intersection points of the lines of the first family with the lines of the second family.

Let $K$ and $N > K$ be fixed positive integers. Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $a_1, a_2, ..., a_n$ be distinct integers. Suppose that whenever $m_1, m_2, ..., m_n$ are integers, not all equal to $0$, such that $\mid{m_i}\mid \le K$ for each $i$, then the sum $$\sum_{i = 1}^{n} m_ia_i$$ is not divisible by $N$. What is the largest possible value of $n$? [i]Proposed by Ilija Jovcevski, North Macedonia[/i]

Malcolm wants to visit Isabella after school today and knows the street where she lives but doesn't know her house number. She tells him, "My house number has two digits, and exactly three of the following four statements about it are true." (1) It is prime. (2) It is even. (3) It is divisible by 7. (4) One of its digits is 9. This information allows Malcolm to determine Isabella's house number. What is its units digit? $\textbf{(A) }4\qquad\textbf{(B) }6\qquad\textbf{(C) }7\qquad\textbf{(D) }8\qquad\textbf{(E) }9$
