Today was the 5th Kettering Olympiad - and here are the problems, which are very good intermediate problems. 1. Find all real $x$ so that $(1+x^2)(1+x^4)=4x^3$ 2. Mark and John play a game. They have $100$ pebbles on a table. They take turns taking at least one at at most eight pebbles away. The person to claim the last pebble wins. Mark goes first. Can you find a way for Mark to always win? What about John? 3. Prove that $\sin x + \sin 3x + \sin 5x + ... + \sin 11 x = (1-\cos 12 x)/(2 \sin x)$ 4. Mark has $7$ pieces of paper. He takes some of them and splits each into $7$ pieces of paper. He repeats this process some number of times. He then tells John he has $2000$ pieces of paper. John tells him he is wrong. Why is John right? 5. In a triangle $ABC$, the altitude, angle bisector, and median split angle $A$ into four equal angles. Find the angles of $ABC.$ 6. There are $100$ cities.
