There are 1$2$ people labeled $1, ..., 12$ working together on $12$ missions, with people $1, ... , i $working on the $i$th mission. There is exactly one spy among them. If the spy is not working on a mission, it will be a huge success, but if the spy is working on the mission, it will fail with probability $1/2$. Given that the first $11$ missions succeed, and the $12$th mission fails, what is the probability that person $12$ is the spy?

You are given a positive integer $n$. What is the largest possible number of numbers that can be chosen from the set $\{1, 2, \ldots, 2n\}$ so that there are no two chosen numbers $x > y$ for which $x - y = (x, y)$? Here $(x, y)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of $x, y$. [i]Proposed by Anton Trygub[/i]

Given a circle $C$ and a diameter $AB$ in it, mark a point $P$ on $AB$ different from the ends. In one of the two arcs determined by $AB$ choose the points $M$ and $N$ such that $\angle APM = 60 ^ \circ = \angle BPN$. The segments $MP$ and $NP$ are drawn to obtain three curvilinear triangles; $APM $, $MPN$ and $NPB$ (the sides of the curvilinear triangle $APM$ are the segments $AP$ and $PM$ and the arc $AM$). In each curvilinear triangle a circle is inscribed, that is, a circle is built tangent to the three sides. Show that the sum of the radii of the three inscribed circles is less than or equal to the radius of $C$.

Call a positive real number special if it has a decimal representation that consists entirely of digits $ 0$ and $ 7$. For example, $ \frac{700}{99} \equal{} 7.\overline{07} \equal{} 7.070707\cdots$ and $ 77.007$ are special numbers. What is the smallest $ n$ such that $ 1$ can be written as a sum of $ n$ special numbers? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 7\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 8\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 9\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 10\qquad\\ \textbf{(E)}\ \text{The number 1 cannot be represented as a sum of finitely many special numbers.}$

Mad scientist Kyouma writes $N$ positive integers on a board. Each second, he chooses two numbers $x, y$ written on the board with $x > y$, and writes the number $x^2-y^2$ on the board. After some time, he sends the list of all the numbers on the board to Christina. She notices that all the numbers from 1 to 1000 are present on the list. Aid Christina in finding the minimum possible value of N.

Let $n > 1$ be a positive integer. A 2-dimensional grid, infinite in all directions, is given. Each 1 by 1 square in a given $n$ by $n$ square has a counter on it. A [i]move[/i] consists of taking $n$ adjacent counters in a row or column and sliding them each by one space along that row or column. A [i]returning sequence[/i] is a finite sequence of moves such that all counters again fill the original $n$ by $n$ square at the end of the sequence. [list] [*] Assume that all counters are distinguishable except two, which are indistinguishable from each other. Prove that any distinguishable arrangement of counters in the $n$ by $n$ square can be reached by a returning sequence. [*] Assume all counters are distinguishable. Prove that there is no returning sequence that switches two counters and returns the rest to their original positions.[/list] [i]Mitchell Lee and Benjamin Gunby.[/i]

Ben and Connor are playing a game of wallball. The first player to lead by $2$ points wins the game. Suppose Ben wins each point with probability $\tfrac{3}{4}$ and is gracious enough to allow Connor to start with a $1$ point lead. The probability that Ben wins the game is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ for coprime positive integers $m$ and $n.$ What is $m + n$?

Let $O$ be a circle with diameter $AB = 2$. Circles $O_1$ and $O_2$ have centers on $\overline{AB}$ such that $O$ is tangent to $O_1$ at $A$ and to $O_2$ at $B$, and $O_1$ and $O_2$ are externally tangent to each other. The minimum possible value of the sum of the areas of $O_1$ and $O_2$ can be written in the form $\frac{m\pi}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.
