Let $a, b, c, d$ be distinct positive real numbers. Prove that if one of the numbers $c, d$ lies between $a$ and $b$, or one of $a, b$ lies between $c$ and $d$, then
$$\sqrt{(a+b)(c+d)} >\sqrt{ab} +\sqrt{cd}$$
and that otherwise, one can choose $a, b, c, d$ so that this inequality is false.

For an integer $m\geq 1$, we consider partitions of a $2^m\times 2^m$ chessboard into rectangles consisting of cells of chessboard, in which each of the $2^m$ cells along one diagonal forms a separate rectangle of side length $1$. Determine the smallest possible sum of rectangle perimeters in such a partition.

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. Lucia chooses $n$ real numbers $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ such that $\left| x_i-x_j \right|\geq 1$ for all $i\neq j$. Then, in each cell of an $n \times n$ grid, she writes one of these numbers, in such a way that no number is repeated in the same row or column. Finally, for each cell, she calculates the absolute value of the difference between the number in the cell and the number in the first cell of its same row. Determine the smallest value that the sum of the $n^2$ numbers that Lucia calculated can take.

A pentagon has vertices labelled $A, B, C, D, E$ in that order counterclockwise, such that $AB$, $ED$ are parallel and $\angle EAB = \angle ABD = \angle ACD = \angle CDA$. Furthermore, suppose that$ AB = 8$, $AC = 12$, $AE = 10$. If the area of triangle $CDE$ can be expressed as $\frac{a \sqrt{b}}{c}$, where $a, b, c$ are integers so that $b$ is square free, and $a, c$ are relatively prime, find $a + b + c$.
