Let \(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n\) be integers such that \(a_1 > a_2 > \cdots > a_n > 1\). Let \(M = \operatorname{lcm} \left( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \right)\). For any finite nonempty set $X$ of positive integers, define \[ f(X) = \min_{1 \leqslant i \leqslant n} \sum_{x \in X} \left\{ \frac{x}{a_i} \right\}. \] Such a set $X$ is called [i]minimal[/i] if for every proper subset $Y$ of it, $f(Y) < f(X)$ always holds. Suppose $X$ is minimal and $f(X) \geqslant \frac{2}{a_n}$. Prove that \[ |X| \leqslant f(X) \cdot M. \]

In the right-angled trapezoid $AB CD$, $AB \parallel CD$, $m( \angle A) = 90°$, $AD = DC = a$ and $AB =2a$. On the perpendiculars raised in $C$ and $D$ on the plane containing the trapezoid one considers points $E$ and $F$ (on the same side of the plane) such that $CE = 2a$ and $DF = a$. Find the distance from the point $B$ to the plane $(AEF)$ and the measure of the angle between the lines $AF$ and $BE$.

For all positive integers $m\geq 1$, denote by $\mathcal{G}_m$ the set of simple graphs with exactly $m$ edges. Find the number of pairs of integers $(m,n)$ with $1<2n\leq m\leq 100$ such that there exists a simple graph $G\in\mathcal{G}_m$ satisfying the following property: it is possible to label the edges of $G$ with labels $E_1$, $E_2$, $\ldots$, $E_m$ such that for all $i\neq j$, edges $E_i$ and $E_j$ are incident if and only if either $|i-j|\leq n$ or $|i-j|\geq m-n$. $\textit{Note: }$ A graph is said to be $\textit{simple}$ if it has no self-loops or multiple edges. In other words, no edge connects a vertex to itself, and the number of edges connecting two distinct vertices is either $0$ or $1$.

In an acute triangle $ABC$, the altitude from $C$ intersects $AB$ at $E$ and the altitude from $B$ intersects $AC$ at $D$. $CE$ and $BD$ intersect at a point $H$. A circle with diameter $DE$ intersects $AB$ and $AC$ at points $F,G$ respectively. $FG$ and $AH$ intersect at $K$. If $\overline{BC} = 25$, $\overline{BD} = 20$, and $\overline{BE} = 7$, the length of $AK$ is of the form $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p, q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p + q$.

Let $n\ge 4$ be an even integer. A regular $n$-gon and a regular $(n-1)$-gon are inscribed into the unit circle. For each vertex of the $n$-gon consider the distance from this vertex to the nearest vertex of the $(n-1)$-gon, measured along the circumference. Let $S$ be the sum of these $n$ distances. Prove that $S$ depends only on $n$, and not on the relative position of the two polygons.

Suppose that $f$ is a function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that \[f(x)+f\left(1-\frac1x\right)=\arctan x\] for all real $x\ne 0.$ (As usual, $y=\arctan x$ means $-\pi/2<y<\pi/2$ and $\tan y=x.$) Find \[\int_0^1f(x)\,dx.\]

We have $ n $ kinds of puddings. There are $ a_{i} $ puddings which are $ i $-th type and those $ S = a_{1}+\cdots+a_{n} $ puddings are distinct. Now, for a given arrangement of puddings: $ p_{1}, \dots, p_{n} $. Define $ c_{i} $ to be $$ \#\{1 \le j \le S-1 \ \mid \ p_{j}, p_{j+1} \text{ are the same type.}\} $$ Show that if $ S $ is composite, then the sum of $ \prod_{i=1}^{n}{c_{i}} $ over all possible arrangements is a multiple of $ S $.

Let $ f_c \equal{} z^2 \plus{} c\in \mathbb C[z]$. We see easily that $ B_c: \equal{} \{z,f_c(z),f_c(f_c(z)),\dots\}$ is a subset of $ A_c$. Prove that in the following cases $ A_c \equal{} B_c$. d) $ |c| > 2$. e) $ c\in \mathbb Q\backslash\mathbb Z$. f) $ c$ is a non-algebraic number g) $ c$ is a real number and $ c\not\in [ \minus{} 2,\frac14]$.
