Four lighthouses are located at points $ A$, $ B$, $ C$, and $ D$. The lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 5$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ B$, the lighthouse at $ B$ is $ 12$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$, and the lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 13$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$. To an observer at $ A$, the angle determined by the lights at $ B$ and $ D$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ C$ and $ D$ are equal. To an observer at $ C$, the angle determined by the lights at $ A$ and $ B$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ D$ and $ B$ are equal.

The positive integer $k$ and the set $A$ of distinct integers from $1$ to $3k$ inclusively are such that there are no distinct $a$, $b$, $c$ in $A$ satisfying $2b = a + c$. The numbers from $A$ in the interval $[1, k]$ will be called [i]small[/i]; those in $[k + 1, 2k]$ - [i]medium[/i] and those in $[2k + 1, 3k]$ - [i]large[/i]. It is always true that there are [b]no[/b] positive integers $x$ and $d$ such that if $x$, $x + d$, and $x + 2d$ are divided by $3k$ then the remainders belong to $A$ and those of $x$ and $x + d$ are different and are: a) small? $\hspace{1.5px}$ b) medium? $\hspace{1.5px}$ c) large? ([i]In this problem we assume that if a multiple of $3k$ is divided by $3k$ then the remainder is $3k$ rather than $0$[/i].)

A positive integer $m$ is called [i]growing[/i] if its digits, read from left to right, are non-increasing. Prove that for each natural number $n$ there exists a growing number $m$ with $n$ digits such that the sum of its digits is a perfect square.

Rosencrantz plays $n \leq 2015$ games of question, and ends up with a win rate $\left(\text{i.e.}\: \frac{\text{\# of games won}}{\text{\# of games played}}\right)$ of $k$. Guildenstern has also played several games, and has a win rate less than $k$. He realizes that if, after playing some more games, his win rate becomes higher than $k$, then there must have been some point in time when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern had the exact same win-rate. Find the product of all possible values of $k$.

Two circles in a plane intersect. $A$ is one of the points of intersection.

There is a board numbered $-10$ to $10$. Each square is coloured either red or white, and the sum of the numbers on the red squares is $n$. Maureen starts with a token on the square labeled $0$. She then tosses a fair coin ten times. Every time she flips heads, she moves the token one square to the right. Every time she flips tails, she moves the token one square to the left. At the end of the ten flips, the probability that the token finishes on a red square is a rational number of the form $\frac a b$. Given that $a + b = 2001$, determine the largest possible value for $n$.

The cost of producing each item is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of items produced. The cost of producing ten items is $ \$2100$. If items sell for $ \$30$ each, how many items need to be sold so that the producers break even?

Five persons wearing badges with numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ are seated on $5$ chairs around a circular table. In how many ways can they be seated so that no two persons whose badges have consecutive numbers are seated next to each other? (Two arrangements obtained by rotation around the table are considered different)

The $\emph{Stooge sort}$ is a particularly inefficient recursive sorting algorithm defined as follows: given an array $A$ of size $n$, we swap the first and last elements if they are out of order; we then (if $n\ge3$) Stooge sort the first $\lceil\tfrac{2n}3\rceil$ elements, then the last $\lceil\tfrac{2n}3\rceil$, then the first $\lceil\tfrac{2n}3\rceil$ elements again. Given that this runs in $O(n^\alpha)$, where $\alpha$ is minimal, find the value of $(243/32)^\alpha$.

Let $ n$ be an even positive integer. Let $ A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{n \plus{} 1}$ be sets having $ n$ elements each such that any two of them have exactly one element in common while every element of their union belongs to at least two of the given sets. For which $ n$ can one assign to every element of the union one of the numbers 0 and 1 in such a manner that each of the sets has exactly $ \frac {n}{2}$ zeros?

Starting from an equilateral triangle with perimeter $P_0$, we carry out the following iterations: the first iteration consists of dividing each side of the triangle into three segments of equal length, construct an exterior equilateral triangle on each of the middle segments, and then remove these segments (bases of each new equilateral triangle formed). The second iteration consists of apply the same process of the first iteration on each segment of the resulting figure after the first iteration. Successively, follow the other iterations. Let $A_n$ be the area of the figure after the $n$- th iteration, and let $P_n$ the perimeter of the same figure. If $A_n = P_n$, find the value of $P_0$ (in its simplest form).
