Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a right triangle with $AB = 4, BC = 5$, and hypotenuse $AC$. Let I be the incenter of $\vartriangle ABC$ and $E$ be the excenter of $\vartriangle ABC$ opposite $A$ (the center of the circle tangent to $BC$ and the extensions of segments $AB$ and $AC$). Suppose the circle with diameter $IE$ intersects line $AB$ beyond $B$ at $D$. If $BD =\sqrt{a}- b$, where a and b are positive integers. Find $a + b$.

The numbers $1,2,\dots,10$ are written on a board. Every minute, one can select three numbers $a$, $b$, $c$ on the board, erase them, and write $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}$ in their place. This process continues until no more numbers can be erased. What is the largest possible number that can remain on the board at this point?

RyNo, a little rhinoceros, has $17$ scratch marks on its body. Some are horizontal and the rest are vertical. Some are on the left side and the rest are on the right side. If RyNo rubs one side of its body against a tree, two scratch marks, either both horizontal or both vertical, will disappear from that side. However, at the same time, two new scratch marks, one horizontal and one vertical, will appear on the other side. If there are less than two horizontal and less than two vertical scratch marks on the side being rubbed, then nothing happens. If RyNo continues to rub its body against trees, is it possible that at some point in time, the numbers of horizontal and vertical scratch marks have interchanged on each side of its body?

[b]p7.[/b] Bob really likes to study math. Unfortunately, he gets easily distracted by messages sent by friends. At the beginning of every minute, there is an $\frac{6}{10}$ chance that he will get a message from a friend. If Bob does get a message from a friend, there is a $\frac{9}{10}$ chance that he will look at the message, causing him to waste $30$ seconds before resuming his studying. If Bob doesn't get a message from a friend, there is a $\frac{3}{10}$ chance Bob will still check his messages hoping for a message from his friends, wasting $10$ seconds before he resumes his studying.

[b]p12.[/b] Call a number palindromeish if changing a single digit of the number into a different digit results in a new six-digit palindrome. For example, the number $110012$ is a palindromeish number since you can change the last digit into a $1$, which results in the palindrome $110011$. Find the number of $6$ digit palindromeish numbers.
[b]p13.[/b] Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $3$ with real coecients and leading coecient $1$. Let the roots of $P(x)$ be $a$, $b$, $c$.

Then $|S|$ can be expressed as $\frac{a + b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ for positive integers $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$ such that $gcd(a, b, d) = 1$ and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a + b + c + d$.

Find $a + b + c + d$.
[b]p15.[/b] Many students in Mr. Noeth's BC Calculus class missed their first test, and to avoid taking a makeup, have decided to never leave their houses again. As a result, Mr. Noeth decides that he will have to visit their houses to deliver the makeup tests. Conveniently, the $17$ absent students in his class live in consecutive houses on the same street. Mr. Noeth chooses at least three of every four people in consecutive houses to take a makeup. How many ways can Mr. Noeth select students to take makeups?

[b]p4.[/b] Six shooters participate in a shooting competition. Every participant has $5$ shots. Each shot adds from 1 to $10$ points to shooter’s score. Every person can score totally for all five shots from $5$ to $50$ points. Each participant gets $7$ points for at least one of his shots. The scores of all participants are different. We enumerate the shooters $1$ to $6$ according to their scores, the person with maximal score obtains number $1$, the next one obtains number $2$, the person with minimal score obtains number $6$. What score does obtain the participant number 3? The total number of all obtained points is $264$.
[b]p5.[/b] There are $2014$ stones in a pile. Two players play the following game. First, player $A$ takes some number of stones (from $1$ to $30$) from the pile, then player B takes $1$ or $2$ stones, then player $A$ takes $2$ or $3$ stones, then player $B$ takes $3$ or $4$ stones, then player A takes $4$ or $5$ stones, etc. The player who gets the last stone is the winner. If no player gets the last stone (there is at least one stone in the pile but the next move is not allowed) then the game results in a draw. Who wins the game using the right strategy?
