Alice creates a sequence: For the first $2025$ terms of this sequence, she writes a random permutation of $\{1;2;3;...;2025\}$. To define the following terms, she does the following: She takes the last $2025$ terms of the sequence, and takes its median. How many values could this sequence's $3000$'th term could get? (Note: To find the median of $2025$ numbers, you write them in an increasing order,and take the number in the middle)

Alice is counting up by fives, starting with the number $3$. Meanwhile, Bob is counting down by fours, starting with the number $2021$. How many numbers between $3$ and $2021$, inclusive, are counted by both Alice and Bob?

A regular triangle has side length $n{}$. We divided its sides into $n{}$ equal parts and drew a line segment parallel with each side through the dividing points. A lattice of $1+2+\ldots+(n+1)$ intersection points is thus formed. For which positive integers $n{}$ can this lattice be partitioned into triplets of points which are the vertices of a regular triangle of side length $1$?

With about six hours left on the van ride home from vacation, Wendy looks for something to do. She starts working on a project for the math team. There are sixteen students, including Wendy, who are about to be sophomores on the math team. Elected as a math team officer, one of Wendy's jobs is to schedule groups of the sophomores to tutor geometry students after school on Tuesdays. The way things have been done in the past, the same number of sophomores tutor every week, but the same group of students never works together. Wendy notices that there are even numbers of groups she could select whether she chooses $4$ or $5$ students at a time to tutor geometry each week: \begin{align*}\dbinom{16}4&=1820,\\\dbinom{16}5&=4368.\end{align*} Playing around a bit more, Wendy realizes that unless she chooses all or none of the students on the math team to tutor each week that the number of possible combinations of the sophomore math teamers is always even. This gives her an idea for a problem for the $2008$ Jupiter Falls High School Math Meet team test: \[\text{How many of the 2009 numbers on Row 2008 of Pascal's Triangle are even?}\] Wendy works the solution out correctly. What is her answer?

Let $m_j > 0$ for $j = 1, 2,\ldots, n$ and $a_1 \leq \cdots \leq a_n < b_1 \leq \cdots \leq b_n < c_1 \leq \cdots \leq c_n$ be real numbers. Prove that \[\Biggl( \sum_{j=1}^{n} m_j(a_j+b_j+c_j) \Biggr)^2 > 3 \Biggl( \sum_{j=1}^{n} m_j \Biggr) \Biggl( \sum_{j=1}^{n} m_j(a_jb_j+b_jc_j+c_ja_j) \Biggr).\]

It is given an acute triangle $ABC$ , $AB \neq AC$ where the feet of altitude from $A$ its $H$. In the extensions of the sides $AB$ and $AC$ (in the direction of $B$ and $C$) we take the points $P$ and $Q$ respectively such that $HP=HQ$ and the points $B,C,P,Q$ are concyclic. Find the ratio $\tfrac{HP}{HA}$.

A cube 10x10x10 is constructed from 1000 white unit cubes. Polly and Velly play the following game: Velly chooses a certain amount of parallelepipeds 1x1x10, no two of which have a common vertex or an edge, and repaints them in black. Polly can choose an arbitrary number of unit cubes and ask Velly for their color. What’s the least amount of unit cubes she has to choose so that she can determine the color of each unit cube?

A set of points in the plane is called $\textit{good}$ if the distance between any two points in it is at most $1$. Let $f(n, d)$ be the largest positive integer such that in any $\textit{good}$ set of $3n$ points, there is a circle of diameter $d$, which contains at least $f(n, d)$ points. Prove that there exists a positive real $\epsilon$, such that for all $d \in (1-\epsilon, 1)$, the value of $f(n, d)$ does not depend on $d$ and find that value as a function of $n$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Mary writes the $n^3$ triples of not necessarily distinct integers, each between $1$ and $n$ inclusive on a board. Afterwards, she finds the greatest (possibly more than one), and erases the rest. For example, in the triple $(1, 3, 4)$ she erases the numbers 1 and 3, and in the triple $(1, 2, 2)$ she erases only the number 1, Show after finishing this process, the amount of remaining numbers on the board cannot be a perfect square.

One plant is now $44$ centimeters tall and will grow at a rate of $3$ centimeters every $2$ years. A second plant is now $80$ centimeters tall and will grow at a rate of $5$ centimeters every $6$ years. In how many years will the plants be the same height?
