In triangle $\vartriangle ABC$, $AB = 5$, $BC = 7$, and $CA = 8$. Let $E$ and $F$ be the feet of the altitudes from $B$ and $C$, respectively, and let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. The area of triangle $MEF$ can be expressed as $\frac{a \sqrt{b}}{c}$ for positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ such that the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $c$ is $1$ and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a + b + c$.

Let $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ denote the angles of the triangle $ABC$. The perpendicular bisector of $AB$ intersects $BC$ at the point $X$, the perpendicular bisector of $AC$ intersects it at $Y$. Prove that $\tan(\beta) \cdot \tan(\gamma) = 3$ implies $BC= XY$ (or in other words: Prove that a sufficient condition for $BC = XY$ is $\tan(\beta) \cdot \tan(\gamma) = 3$). Show that this condition is not necessary, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for $BC = XY$.

Pedrito's lucky number is $34117$. His friend Ramanujan points out that $34117 = 166^2 + 81^2 = 159^2 + 94^2$ and $166-159 = 7$, $94- 81 = 13$. Since his lucky number is large, Pedrito decides to find a smaller one, but that satisfies the same properties, that is, write in two different ways as the sum of squares of positive integers, and the difference of the first integers that occur in that sum is $7$ and in the difference between the seconds it gives $13$. Which is the least lucky number that Pedrito can find? Find a way to generate all the positive integers with the properties mentioned above.

Let $\mathbb Z$ be the set of integers. We consider functions $f :\mathbb Z\to\mathbb Z$ satisfying \[f\left(f(x+y)+y\right)=f\left(f(x)+y\right)\] for all integers $x$ and $y$. For such a function, we say that an integer $v$ is [i]f-rare[/i] if the set \[X_v=\{x\in\mathbb Z:f(x)=v\}\] is finite and nonempty. (a) Prove that there exists such a function $f$ for which there is an $f$-rare integer. (b) Prove that no such function $f$ can have more than one $f$-rare integer. [i]Netherlands[/i]

Split a face of a regular tetrahedron into four congruent equilateral triangles. How many different ways can the seven triangles of the tetrahedron be colored using only the colors orange and black? (Two tetrahedra are considered to be colored the same way if you can rotate one so it looks like the other.)

For any integer $n\geq 3$, let $A\left(n\right)$ denote the maximal number of self-intersections a closed broken line $P_1P_2...P_nP_1$ can have; hereby, we assume that no three vertices of the broken line $P_1P_2...P_nP_1$ are collinear. Prove that [b](a)[/b] if n is odd, then $A\left(n\right)=\frac{n\left(n-3\right)}{2}$; [b](b)[/b] if n is even, then $A\left(n\right)=\frac{n\left(n-4\right)}{2}+1$.

King Radford of Peiza is hosting a banquet in his palace. The King has an enormous circular table with $2021$ chairs around it. At The King's birthday celebration, he is sitting in his throne (one of the $2021$ chairs) and the other $2020$ chairs are filled with guests, with the shortest guest sitting to the King's left and the remaining guests seated in increasing order of height from there around the table. The King announces that everybody else must get up from their chairs, run around the table, and sit back down in some chair. After doing this, The King notices that the person seated to his left is different from the person who was previously seated to his left. Each other person at the table also notices that the person sitting to their left is different. Find a closed form expression for the number of ways the people could be sitting around the table at the end. You may use the notation $D_{n},$ the number of derangements of a set of size $n$, as part of your expression.
