Addison and Emerson are playing a card game with three rounds. Addison has the cards $1, 3$, and $5$, and Emerson
has the cards $2, 4$, and $6$. In advance of the game, both designate each one of their cards to be played for either round one, two, or three. Cards cannot be played for multiple rounds. In each round, both show each other their designated card for that round, and the person with the higher-numbered card wins the round. The person who wins the most rounds wins the game. Let $m/n$ be the probability that Emerson wins, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m +n$.

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a right triangle with $\angle A = 90^\circ$ and $AB = 1.$ Let $x$ be the length that $AC$ must be so that the perpendicular bisector of $AC$ is tangent to the incircle of $\triangle ABC.$ Let $y$ be the length that $BC$ must be so that the perpendicular bisector of $BC$ is tangent to the incircle of $\triangle ABC.$ (Note that $x$ and $y$ arise in different triangles.) Then $x+y=\tfrac{m}{n}$ for positive integers $m, n$ with $m,n$ in simplest form. Compute $m + n.$

The football tournament was played in one round. $3$ points were given for a win, $1$ point for a draw, and $0$ points for a loss. Could it be that the first place team under the old scoring system (win - $2$ points, draw - $1$ point, loss - $0$) would be last?

In the country some mathematicians know each other and any division of them into two sets contain 2 friends from different sets.It is known that if you put any set of four or more mathematicians at a round table so that any two neighbours know each other , then at the table there are two friends not sitting next to each other.We denote by $c_i $ the number of sets of $i$ pairwise familiar mathematicians(by saying "familiar" it means know each other).Prove that
$c_1-c_2+c_3-c_4+...=1$

You have $\text{5}$ different strings with weights tied at various point, all hanging from the ceiling, and reaching down to the floor. The string is released at the top, allowing the weights to fall. Which one will create a regular, uniform beating sound as the weights hit the floor?

Let there be $n$ students and $m$ clubs. The students joined the clubs so that the following is true:
- For all students $x$, you can choose some clubs such that $x$ is the only student who joined all of the chosen clubs.
Let the number of clubs each student joined be $a_1,a_2,...,a_m$. Prove that
$$a_1!(m - a_1)! + a_2!(m - a_2)! + ... + a_n!(m -a_n)! \le m!$$

Consider two triangles, $ABC$ and $DEF$, and any point $O$. We take any point $X$ in $\vartriangle ABC$ and any point $Y$ in $\vartriangle DEF$ and draw a parallelogram $OXY Z$. Prove that the locus of all possible points $Z$ form a polygon. How many sides can it have? Prove that its perimeter is equal to the sum of perimeters of the original triangles.

Fernanda decided to decorate a square blanket with a ribbon and buttons, placing a button in the center of each square where the ribbon passes and forming the design indicated in the figure. If Fernanda sews the first button in the shaded square on line $0$, on which line does she sew the $2007$th button?

Let $ABCD$ be a square with the side of $20$ units. Amir divides this square into $400$ unit squares. Reza then picks $4$ of the vertices of these unit squares. These vertices lie inside the square $ABCD$ and define a rectangle with the sides parallel to the sides of the square $ABCD.$ There are exactly $24$ unit squares which have at least one point in common with the sides of this rectangle. Find all possible values for the area of a rectangle with these properties.

Prove that any identity that holds for every finite $ n$-distributive lattice also holds for the lattice of all convex subsets of the $ (n\minus{}1)$-dimensional Euclidean space. (For convex subsets, the lattice operations are the set-theoretic intersection and the convex hull of the set-theoretic union. We call a lattice $ n$-$ \textit{distributive}$ if \[ x \wedge (\bigvee_{i\equal{}0}^n y_i)\equal{}\bigvee_{j\equal{}0}^n(x \wedge (\bigvee_{0\leq i \leq n, \;i \not\equal{} j\ }y_i))\] holds for all elements of the lattice.)

In some galaxy there are $1000000$ planets and on each of them there are at least $101$ portals. Each portal allows to teleport between some two planets, no two planets are connected by more than one portal. It is known that starting from any planet using portals you can get to any other planet, while it is impossible to return to that planet using once at most 5 different portals.
Prove that starting from any planet you can get to any other planet within a year, using at most one portal daily (a year consists of 365 days).

The best parts of grandma’s $30$ cm $ \times 30$ cm square shaped pie are the edges. For this reason grandma’s three grandchildren would like to split the pie between each other so that everyone gets the same amount (of the area) of the pie, but also of the edges. Can they cut the pie into three connected pieces like that?
