If $\{a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots,a_n\}$ is a set of real numbers, indexed so that $a_1<a_2<a_3<\cdots<a_n,$ its complex power sum is defined to be $a_1i+a_2i^2+a_3i^3+\cdots+a_ni^n,$ where $i^2=-1.$ Let $S_n$ be the sum of the complex power sums of all nonempty subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}.$ Given that $S_8=-176-64i$ and $S_9=p+qi,$ were $p$ and $q$ are integers, find $|p|+|q|.$

Infinitesimal Randall Munroe is glued to the center of a pentagon with side length $1$. At each corner of the pentagon is a confused infinitesimal velociraptor. At any time, each raptor is running at one unit per second directly towards the next raptor in the pentagon (in counterclockwise order). How far does each confused raptor travel before it reaches Randall Munroe?

Consider a $100\times 100$ square unit lattice $\textbf{L}$ (hence $\textbf{L}$ has $10000$ points). Suppose $\mathcal{F}$ is a set of polygons such that all vertices of polygons in $\mathcal{F}$ lie in $\textbf{L}$ and every point in $\textbf{L}$ is the vertex of exactly one polygon in $\mathcal{F}.$ Find the maximum possible sum of the areas of the polygons in $\mathcal{F}.$ [i]Michael Ren and Ankan Bhattacharya, USA[/i]

$A$ and $B$ wish to divide a cake into two pieces. Each wants the largest piece he can get. The cake is a triangular prism with the triangular faces horizontal. $A$ chooses a point $P$ on the top face. $B$ then chooses a vertical plane through the point $P$ to divide the cake. $B$ chooses which piece to take. Which point $P$ should $A $ choose in order to secure as large a slice as possible?

Nelson is having his friend drop his unique bouncy ball from a $12$ foot building, and Nelson will only catch the ball at the peak of its trajectory between bounces. On any given bounce, there is an $80\%$ chance that the next peak occurs at $\frac13$ the height of the previous peak and a $20\%$ chance that the next peak occurs at $3$ times the height of the previous peak (where the first peak is at $12$ feet). If Nelson can only reach $4$ feet into the air and will catch the ball as soon as possible, the probability that Nelson catches the ball after exactly $13$ bounces is $2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c \times 7^d \times 11^e$ for integers $a, b, c, d$, and $e$. Find $|a| + |b| + |c| + |d| + |e|$.
