Consider a sequence of numbers $(a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_{2^n}).$ Define the operation \[S\biggl((a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_{2^n})\biggr) = (a_1a_2, a_2a_3, \ldots , a_{2^{n-1}a_{2^n}, a_{2^n}a_1).}\] Prove that whatever the sequence $(a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_{2^n})$ is, with $a_i \in \{-1, 1\}$ for $i = 1, 2, \ldots , 2^n,$ after finitely many applications of the operation we get the sequence $(1, 1, \ldots, 1).$

For each $i = 1, ... , 8$, define $B_i$ as the intersection between segments $A_iA_{i+4}$ and $A_{i-1}A_{i+1}$, where $A_{j+8} = A_j$ and $B_{j+8} = B_j$ for all $j$.

We will say that a rearrangement of the letters of a word has no [i]fixed letters[/i] if, when the rearrangement is placed directly below the word, no column has the same letter repeated. For instance $HBRATA$ is a rearragnement with no fixed letter of $BHARAT$. How many distinguishable rearrangements with no fixed letters does $BHARAT$ have? (The two $A$s are considered identical.)

A family wears clothes of three colors: red,blue and green,with a separate,identical laundry bin for each color. At the beginning of the first week,all bins are empty.Each week,the family generates a total of $10 kg $ of laundry(the proportion of each color is subject to variation).The laundry is sorted by color and placed in the bins.Next,the heaviest bin(only one of them,if there are several that are heaviest)is emptied and its content swashed.What is the minimal possible storing capacity required of the laundry bins in order for them never to overflow?

A positive integer $a$ is selected, and some positive integers are written on a board. Alice and Bob play the following game. On Alice's turn, she must replace some integer $n$ on the board with $n+a$, and on Bob's turn he must replace some even integer $n$ on the board with $n/2$. Alice goes first and they alternate turns. If on his turn Bob has no valid moves, the game ends. After analyzing the integers on the board, Bob realizes that, regardless of what moves Alice makes, he will be able to force the game to end eventually. Show that, in fact, for this value of $a$ and these integers on the board, the game is guaranteed to end regardless of Alice's or Bob's moves.

[b]p1.[/b] Four witches are riding their brooms around a circle with circumference $10$ m. They are standing at the same spot, and then they all start to ride clockwise with the speed of $1$, $2$, $3$, and $4$ m/s, respectively. Assume that they stop at the time when every pair of witches has met for at least two times (the first position before they start counts as one time). What is the total distance all the four witches have travelled? [b]p2.[/b] Suppose $A$ is an equilateral triangle, $O$ is its inscribed circle, and $B$ is another equilateral triangle inscribed in $O$. Denote the area of triangle $T$ as $[T]$. Evaluate $\frac{[A]}{[B]}$. [b]p3. [/b]Tim has bought a lot of candies for Halloween, but unfortunately, he forgot the exact number of candies he has. He only remembers that it's an even number less than $2020$. As Tim tries to put the candies into his unlimited supply of boxes, he finds that there will be $1$ candy left if he puts seven in each box, $6$ left if he puts eleven in each box, and $3$ left if he puts thirteen in each box. Given the above information, find the total number of candies Tim has bought. [b]p4.[/b] Let $f(n)$ be a function defined on positive integers n such that $f(1) = 0$, and $f(p) = 1$ for all prime numbers $p$, and $$f(mn) = nf(m) + mf(n)$$ for all positive integers $m$ and $n$. Let $$n = 277945762500 = 2^23^35^57^7$$ Compute the value of $\frac{f(n)}{n}$ . [b]p5.[/b] Compute the only positive integer value of $\frac{404}{r^2-4}$ , where $r$ is a rational number. [b]p6.[/b] Let $a = 3 +\sqrt{10}$ . If $$\prod^{\infty}_{k=1} \left( 1 + \frac{5a + 1}{a^k + a} \right)= m +\sqrt{n},$$ where $m$ and $n$ are integers, find $10m + n$. [b]p7.[/b] Charlie is watching a spider in the center of a hexagonal web of side length $4$. The web also consists of threads that form equilateral triangles of side length $1$ that perfectly tile the hexagon. Each minute, the spider moves unit distance along one thread. If $\frac{m}{n}$ is the probability, in lowest terms, that after four minutes the spider is either at the edge of her web or in the center, find the value of $m + n$. [b]p8.[/b] Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 10$; $AC = 12$, and $\omega$ its circumcircle. Let $F$ and $G$ be points on $\overline{AC}$ such that $AF = 2$, $FG = 6$, and $GC = 4$, and let $\overrightarrow{BF}$ and $\overrightarrow{BG}$ intersect $\omega$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively. Given that $AC$ and $DE$ are parallel, what is the square of the length of $BC$? [b]p9.[/b] Two blue devils and $4$ angels go trick-or-treating. They randomly split up into $3$ non-empty groups. Let $p$ be the probability that in at least one of these groups, the number of angels is nonzero and no more than the number of devils in that group. If $p = \frac{m}{n}$ in lowest terms, compute $m + n$. [b]p10.[/b] We know that$$2^{22000} = \underbrace{4569878...229376}_{6623\,\,\, digits}.$$ For how many positive integers $n < 22000$ is it also true that the first digit of $2^n$ is $4$? PS.

Alice is standing on the circumference of a large circular room of radius $10$. There is a circular pillar in the center of the room of radius $5$ that blocks Alice’s view. The total area in the room Alice can see can be expressed in the form $\frac{m\pi}{n} +p\sqrt{q}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $p$ and $q$ are integers such that $q$ is square-free. Compute $m + n + p + q$. (Note that the pillar is not included in the total area of the room.)

A path from $ (0,0)$ to $ (n,n)$ on the lattice is made up of unit moves upward or rightward. It is balanced if the sum of the x-coordinates of its $ 2n\plus{}1$ vertices equals the sum of their y-coordinates. Show that a balanced path divides the square with vertices $ (0,0)$, $ (n,0)$, $ (n,n)$, $ (0,n)$ into two parts with equal area.

A positive integer is called [i]downhill[/i] if the digits in its decimal representation form a nonstrictly decreasing sequence from left to right. Suppose that a polynomial $P(x)$ with rational coefficients takes on an integer value for each downhill positive integer $x$. Is it necessarily true that $P(x)$ takes on an integer value for each integer $x$?
