Given a parallelepiped $P$, let $V_P$ be its volume, $S_P$ the area of its surface and $L_P$ the sum of the lengths of its edges. For a real number $t \ge 0$, let $P_t$ be the solid consisting of all points $X$ whose distance from some point of $P$ is at most $t$. Prove that the volume of the solid $P_t$ is given by the formula $V(P_t) =V_P + S_Pt + \frac{\pi}{4} L_P t^2 + \frac{4\pi}{3} t^3$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with circumcircle $\omega$. A circle $\Gamma$ is internally tangent to $\omega$ at $A$ and also tangent to $BC$ at $D$. Let $AB$ and $AC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Let $M$ and $N$ be points on line $BC$ such that $B$ is the midpoint of $DM$ and $C$ is the midpoint of $DN$. Lines $MP$ and $NQ$ meet at $K$ and intersect $\Gamma$ again at $I$ and $J$ respectively. The ray $KA$ meets the circumcircle of triangle $IJK$ again at $X\neq K$.
Prove that $\angle BXP = \angle CXQ$.

Andrew and Beatrice practice their free throws in basketball. One day, they attempted a total of $105$ free throws between them, with each person taking at least one free throw. If Andrew made exactly $1/3$ of his free throw attempts and Beatrice made exactly $3/5$ of her free throw attempts, what is the highest number of successful free throws they could have made between them?

For which positive integers $n$ is the following statement true:
if $a_1, a_2, ... , a_n$ are positive integers, $a_k \le n$ for all $k$ and $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{{n}}{a_k}=2n$
then it is always possible to choose $a_{i1} , a_{i2} , ..., a_{ij}$ in such a way that
the indices $i_1, i_2,... , i_j$ are different numbers, and $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{{{j}}}{a_{ik}}=n$?

2017 USAMTS Problems, 1
Fill each white square in with a number so that each of the $27$ three-digit numbers whose digits are all $1$, $2$, or $3$ is used exactly once. For each pair of white squares sharing a side, the two numbers must have equal digits in exactly two of the three positions (ones, tens, hundreds). Some numbers have been given to you.
You do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible; you merely need to nd an answer that satises the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justication acceptable.)

Garfield and Odie are situated at $(0,0)$ and $(25,0)$, respectively. Suddenly, Garfield and Odie dash in the direction of the point $(9, 12)$ at speeds of $7$ and $10$ units per minute, respectively. During this chase, the minimum distance between Garfield and Odie can be written as $\frac{m}{\sqrt{n}}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Find $m+n$.

Let $n > 1$ be a fixed integer. Alberto and Barbara play the following game:
(i) Alberto chooses a positive integer,
(ii) Barbara chooses an integer greater than $1$ which is a multiple or submultiple of the number Alberto chose (including itself),
(iii) Alberto increases or decreases the Barbara’s number by $1$.
Steps (ii) and (iii) are alternatively repeated. Barbara wins if she succeeds to reach the number $n$ in at most $50$ moves. For which values of $n$ can she win, no matter how Alberto plays?
