For every $x \ge -\frac{1}{e}\,$, there is a unique number $W(x) \ge -1$ such that
\[
W(x) e^{W(x)} = x.
\]
The function $W$ is called Lambert's $W$ function. Let $y$ be the unique positive number such that
\[
\frac{y}{\log_{2} y} = - \frac{3}{5} \, .
\]
The value of $y$ is of the form $e^{-W(z \ln 2)}$ for some rational number $z$. What is the value of $z$?

A square of side length $5$ is inscribed in a square of side length $7$. If we construct a grid of $1\times1$ squares for both squares, as shown to the right, then we find that the two grids have $8$ lattice points in common. If we do the same construction by inscribing a square of side length $1489$ in a square of side length $2009$, and construct a grid of $1\times1$ squares in each large square, then how many lattice points will the two grids of $1\times1$ squares have in common?

Choose a point $A$ inside a circle of radius $R$. Construct a pair of perpendicular lines through $A$. Then rotate these lines through the same angle $V$ about $A$. The figure formed inside the circle, as the lines move from their initial to their final position, is in the form of a cross with its centre at $A$. Find the area of this cross.

Fill in the grid with the numbers 1 to 6 so that each number appears exactly once in
each row and column. A horizontal gray line marks any cell when it is the middle cell of
the three consecutive cells with the largest sum in that row. Similarly, a vertical gray line
marks any cell when it is the middle of the three consecutive cells with the largest sum in
that column. If there is a tie, multiple lines are drawn in the row or column. A cell can have
both lines drawn, with the appearance of a plus sign.

1986 IMO Shortlist, 12
To each vertex of a regular pentagon an integer is assigned, so that the sum of all five numbers is positive. If three consecutive vertices are assigned the numbers $x,y,z$ respectively, and $y<0$, then the following operation is allowed: $x,y,z$ are replaced by $x+y,-y,z+y$ respectively. Such an operation is performed repeatedly as long as at least one of the five numbers is negative. Determine whether this procedure necessarily comes to an end after a finite number of steps.

The number $2019$ has the following nice properties:
(a) It is the sum of the fourth powers of fuve distinct positive integers.
(b) It is the sum of six consecutive positive integers.
In fact,
$2019 = 1^4 + 2^4 + 3^4 + 5^4 + 6^4$ (1)
$2019 = 334 + 335 + 336 + 337 + 338 + 339$ (2)
Prove that $2019$ is the smallest number that satises [b]both [/b] (a) and (b).
(You may assume that (1) and (2) are correct!)

Ana and Bob are playing the following game.
[list]
[*] First, Bob draws triangle $ABC$ and a point $P$ inside it.
[*] Then Ana and Bob alternate, starting with Ana, choosing three different permutations $\sigma_1$, $\sigma_2$ and $\sigma_3$ of $\{A, B, C\}$.
[*] Finally, Ana draw a triangle $V_1V_2V_3$.
[/list]
For $i=1,2,3$, let $\psi_i$ be the similarity transformation which takes $\sigma_i(A), \sigma_i(B)$ and $\sigma_i(C)$ to $V_i, V_{i+1}$ and $ X_i$ respectively (here $V_4=V_1$) where triangle $\Delta V_iV_{i+1}X_i$ lies on the outside of triangle $V_1V_2V_3$. Finally, let $Q_i=\psi_i(P)$. Ana wins if triangles $Q_1Q_2Q_3$ and $ABC$ are similar (in some order of vertices) and Bob wins otherwise. Determine who has the winning strategy.
