Let triangle $ABC$ have side lengths $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$, $AC = 15$. Let $I$ be the incenter of $ABC$. The circle centered at $A$ of radius $AI$ intersects the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $H$ and $J$. Let $L$ be a point that lies on both the incircle of $ABC$ and line $HJ$. If the minimal possible value of $AL$ is $\sqrt{n}$, where $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, find $n$.

Points $A, B$ and $C$ on a circle of radius $r$ are situated so that $AB=AC, AB>r$, and the length of minor arc $BC$ is $r$. If angles are measured in radians, then $AB/BC=$ [asy] draw(Circle((0,0), 13)); draw((-13,0)--(12,5)--(12,-5)--cycle); dot((-13,0)); dot((12,5)); dot((12,-5)); label("A", (-13,0), W); label("B", (12,5), NE); label("C", (12,-5), SE); [/asy] $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{2}\csc{\frac{1}{4}} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2\cos{\frac{1}{2}} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 4\sin{\frac{1}{2}} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \csc{\frac{1}{2}} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 2\sec{\frac{1}{2}} $

1979 IMO Shortlist, 2

From a bag containing 5 pairs of socks, each pair a different color, a random sample of 4 single socks is drawn. Any complete pairs in the sample are discarded and replaced by a new pair draw from the bag. The process continues until the bag is empty or there are 4 socks of different colors held outside the bag. What is the probability of the latter alternative?

2018 Regional Olympiad of Mexico Center Zone, 4

Ana and Natalia alternately play on a $ n \times n$ board (Ana rolls first and $n> 1$). At the beginning, Ana's token is placed in the upper left corner and Natalia's in the lower right corner. A turn consists of moving the corresponding piece in any of the four directions (it is not allowed to move diagonally), without leaving the board. The winner is whoever manages to place their token on the opponent's token. Determine if either of them can secure victory after a finite number of turns.

Zscoder has an simple undirected graph $G$ with $n\ge 3$ vertices. Navi labels a positive integer to each vertex, and places a token at one of the vertex. This vertex is now marked red. In each turn, Zscoder plays with following rule: $\bullet$ If the token is currently at vertex $v$ with label $t$, then he can move the token along the edges in $G$ (possibly repeating some edges) exactly $t$ times. After these $t$ moves, he marks the current vertex red where the token is at if it is unmarked, or does nothing otherwise, then finishes the turn. Zscoder claims that he can mark all vertices in $G$ red after finite number of turns, regardless of Navi's labels and starting vertex. What is the minimum number of edges must $G$ have, in terms of $n$? [i]Proposed by Yeoh Zi Song[/i]
