The numbers one through eight are written, in that order, on a chalkboard. A mysterious higher power in possession of both an eraser and a piece of chalk chooses three distinct numbers $x$, $y$, and $z$ on the board, and does the following. First, $x$ is erased and replaced with $y$, after which $y$ is erased and replaced with $z$, and finally $z$ is erased and replaced with $x$. The higher power repeats this process some finite number of times. For example, if $(x,y,z)=(2,4,5)$ is chosen, followed by $(x,y,z)=(1,4,3)$, the board would change in the following manner: \[12345678 \rightarrow 14352678 \rightarrow 43152678\] Compute the number of possible final orderings of the eight numbers.

Consider parallelogram $ABCD$ with $AB > BC$. Point $E$ on $\overline{AB}$ and point $F$ on $\overline{CD}$ are marked such that there exists a circle $\omega_1$ passing through $A$, $D$, $E$, $F$ and a circle $\omega_2$ passing through $B$, $C$, $E$, $F$. If $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$ partition $\overline{BD}$ into segments $\overline{BX}$, $\overline{XY}$ , $\overline{Y D}$ in that order, with lengths $200$, $9$, $80$, respectively, compute $BC$.

There are $N$ acute triangles on the plane. Their vertices are all integer points, their areas are all equal to $2^{2020}$, but no two of them are congruent. Find the maximum possible value of $N$. Note: $(x,y)$ is an integer point if and only if $x$ and $y$ are both integers. [i]Proposed by CSJL[/i]

Let $T=\text{TNFTPP}$. Fermi and Feynman play the game $\textit{Probabicloneme}$ in which Fermi wins with probability $a/b$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers such that $a/b<1/2$. The rest of the time Feynman wins (there are no ties or incomplete games). It takes a negligible amount of time for the two geniuses to play $\textit{Probabicloneme}$ so they play many many times. Assuming they can play infinitely many games (eh, they're in Physicist Heaven, we can bend the rules), the probability that they are ever tied in total wins after they start (they have the same positive win totals) is $(T-332)/(2T-601)$. Find the value of $a$.
