Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 7, BC = 5,$ and $CA = 6$. Let $D$ be a variable point on segment $BC$, and let the perpendicular bisector of $AD$ meet segments $AC, AB$ at $E, F,$ respectively. It is given that there is a point $P$ inside $\triangle ABC$ such that $\frac{AP}{PC} = \frac{AE}{EC}$ and $\frac{AP}{PB} = \frac{AF}{FB}$. The length of the path traced by $P$ as $D$ varies along segment $BC$ can be expressed as $\sqrt{\frac{m}{n}}\sin^{-1}\left(\sqrt \frac 17\right)$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, and angles are measured in radians. Compute $100m + n$. [i]Proposed by Edward Wan[/i]

$ n$ people decide to play a game. There are $ n\minus{}1$ ropes and each of its two ends are in hand of one of the players, in such a way that ropes and players form a tree. (Each person can hold more than rope end.) At each step a player gives one of the rope ends he is holding to another player. The goal is to make a path of length $ n\minus{}1$ at the end. But the game regulations change before game starts. Everybody has to give one of his rope ends only two one of his neighbors. Let $ a$ and $ b$ be minimum steps for reaching to goal in these two games. Prove that $ a\equal{}b$ if and only if by removing all players with one rope end (leaves of the tree) the remaining people are on a path. (the remaining graph is a path.)

Two robots are programmed to communicate numbers using different bases. The first robot states: "I communicate in base 10, which interestingly is a perfect square. You communicate in base 16, which is not a perfect square." The second robot states: "I find it more interesting that the sum of our bases is the factorial of an integer." The second robot is referring to the factorial of which integer?

Professor Oak is feeding his $100$ Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a bowl whose capacity is a positive real number of kilograms. These capacities are known to Professor Oak. The total capacity of all the bowls is $100$ kilograms. Professor Oak distributes $100$ kilograms of food in such a way that each Pokémon receives a non-negative integer number of kilograms of food (which may be larger than the capacity of the bowl). The [i]dissatisfaction level[/i] of a Pokémon who received $N$ kilograms of food and whose bowl has a capacity of $C$ kilograms is equal to $\lvert N-C\rvert$. Find the smallest real number $D$ such that, regardless of the capacities of the bowls, Professor Oak can distribute food in a way that the sum of the dissatisfaction levels over all the $100$ Pokémon is at most $D$.

Anna and Orjan play the following game: they start with a positive integer $n>1$, Anna writes it as the sum of two other positive integers, $n = n_1+n_2$. Orjan deletes one of them, $n_1$ or $n_2$. If the remaining number is larger than $1$, the process is repeated, i.e. Anna writes it as the sum of two positive integers, $ n_3+n_4$, Orjan deletes one of them etc. The game ends when the last number is $1$. Orjan is the winner if there are two equal numbers among the numbers he has deleted, otherwise Anna wins. Who is winning the game if n = 2008 and they both play optimally?
