Let $AB$ and $CD$ be two parallel chords in a circle with radius $5$ such that the centre $O$ lies between these chords. Suppose $AB = 6, CD = 8$. Suppose further that the area of the part of the circle lying between the chords $AB$ and $CD$ is $(m\pi + n) / k$, where $m, n, k$ are positive integers with gcd$(m, n, k) = 1$. What is the value of $m + n + k$ ?

Given an $n \times n$ ($n \ge 3$) square table with one of the following unit vectors $\uparrow, \downarrow, \leftarrow, \rightarrow$ in any its cell (the vectors are parallel to the sides and the middles of them coincide with the centers of the cells). Per move a beetle creeps from one cell to another in accordance with the vector’s direction. If the beetle starts from any cell, then it comes back to this cell after some number of moves. The vectors are directed so that they do not allow the beetle to leave the table. Is it possible that the sum of all vectors at any row (except for the first one and the last one) is equal to the vector that is parallel to this row, and the sum of all vectors at any column (except for the first one and the last one) is equal to the vector that is parallel to this column ?

We say a ring $(A,+,\cdot)$ has property $(P)$ if : \[ \begin{cases} \text{the set } A \text{ has at least } 4 \text{ elements} \\ \text{the element } 1+1 \text{ is invertible}\\ x+x^4=x^2+x^3 \text{ holds for all } x \in A \end{cases} \] a) Prove that if a ring $(A,+,\cdot)$ has property $(P)$, and $a,b \in A$ are distinct elements, such that $a$ and $a+b$ are units, then $1+ab$ is also a unit, but $b$ is not a unit. b) Provide an example of a ring with property $(P)$.

We are given a positive integer $s \ge 2$. For each positive integer $k$, we define its [i]twist[/i] $k’$ as follows: write $k$ as $as+b$, where $a, b$ are non-negative integers and $b < s$, then $k’ = bs+a$. For the positive integer $n$, consider the infinite sequence $d_1, d_2, \dots$ where $d_1=n$ and $d_{i+1}$ is the twist of $d_i$ for each positive integer $i$. Prove that this sequence contains $1$ if and only if the remainder when $n$ is divided by $s^2-1$ is either $1$ or $s$.

Let $ f ( x , y ) = ( x + y ) / 2 , g ( x , y ) = \sqrt { x y } , h ( x , y ) = 2 x y / ( x + y ) $, and let $$ S = \{ ( a , b ) \in \mathrm { N } \times \mathrm { N } | a \neq b \text { and } f( a , b ) , g ( a , b ) , h ( a , b ) \in \mathrm { N } \} $$ where $\mathbb{N}$ denotes the positive integers. Find the minimum of $f$ over $S$.

We have $10$ boxes of different sizes, each one big enough to contain all the smaller boxes when put side by side. We may nest the boxes however we want (and how deeply we want), as long as we put smaller boxes in larger ones. At the end, all boxes should be directly or indirectly nested in the largest box. How many ways can we nest the boxes?

Find the range of $ k$ for which the following inequality holds for $ 0\leq x\leq 1$. \[ \int_0^x \frac {dt}{\sqrt {(3 \plus{} t^2)^3}}\geq k\int _0^x \frac {dt}{\sqrt {3 \plus{} t^2}}\] If necessary, you may use $ \ln 3 \equal{} 1.10$.

Let $a > 1$ be a positive integer and $d > 1$ be a positive integer coprime to $a$. Let $x_1=1$, and for $k\geq 1$, define $$x_{k+1} = \begin{cases} x_k + d &\text{if } a \text{ does not divide } x_k \\ x_k/a & \text{if } a \text{ divides } x_k \end{cases}$$ Find, in terms of $a$ and $d$, the greatest positive integer $n$ for which there exists an index $k$ such that $x_k$ is divisible by $a^n$.

Given positive integer $n$ and $r$ pairwise distinct primes $p_1,p_2,\cdots,p_r.$ Initially, there are $(n+1)^r$ numbers written on the blackboard: $p_1^{i_1}p_2^{i_2}\cdots p_r^{i_r} (0 \le i_1,i_2,\cdots,i_r \le n).$ Alice and Bob play a game by making a move by turns, with Alice going first. In Alice's round, she erases two numbers $a,b$ (not necessarily different) and write $\gcd(a,b)$. In Bob's round, he erases two numbers $a,b$ (not necessarily different) and write $\mathrm{lcm} (a,b)$. The game ends when only one number remains on the blackboard. Determine the minimal possible $M$ such that Alice could guarantee the remaining number no greater than $M$, regardless of Bob's move.

You are given a positive integer $n$. $n^2$ amount of people stand on coordinates $(x;y)$ where $x,y\in\{0;1;2;...;n-1\}$. Every person got a water cup and two people are considered to be neighbour if the distance between them is $1$. At the first minute, the person standing on coordinates $(0;0)$ got $1$ litres of water, and the other $n^2-1$ people's water cup is empty. Every minute, two neighbouring people are chosen that does not have the same amount of water in their water cups, and they equalize the amount of water in their water cups. Prove that, no matter what, the person standing on the coordinates $(x;y)$ will not have more than $\frac1{x+y+1}$ litres of water.

As the Kubiks head homeward, away from the beach in the family van, Jerry decides to take a different route away from the beach than the one they took to get there. The route involves lots of twists and turns, prompting Hannah to wonder aloud if Jerry's "shortcut" will save any time at all. Michael offers up a problem as an analogy to his father's meandering: "Suppose dad drives around, making right-angled turns after $\textit{every}$ mile. What is the farthest he could get us from our starting point after driving us $500$ miles assuming that he makes exactly $300$ right turns?" "Sounds almost like an energy efficiency problem," notes Hannah only half jokingly. Hannah is always encouraging her children to think along these lines. Let $d$ be the answer to Michael's problem. Compute $\lfloor d\rfloor$.

Melanie computes the mean $\mu$, the median $M$, and the modes of the $365$ values that are the dates in the months of $2019$. Thus her data consist of $12$ $1\text{s}$, $12$ $2\text{s}$, . . . , $12$ $28\text{s}$, $11$ $29\text{s}$, $11$ $30\text{s}$, and $7$ $31\text{s}$. Let $d$ be the median of the modes. Which of the following statements is true? $\textbf{(A) } \mu < d < M \qquad\textbf{(B) } M < d < \mu \qquad\textbf{(C) } d = M =\mu \qquad\textbf{(D) } d < M < \mu \qquad\textbf{(E) } d < \mu < M$
