A collection of \( n \) balls is distributed in several boxes, with no box containing 100 or more balls. In one move, we can remove several (at least one, possibly all) balls from one box. Find the smallest positive integer \( n \) with the following property: regardless of the distribution, we can make moves such that each non-empty box contains the same number of balls and the total number of remaining balls is at least 100.

A steel cube has edges of length $3$ cm, and a cone has a diameter of $8$ cm and a height of $24$ cm. The cube is placed in the cone so that one of its interior diagonals coincides with the axis of the cone. What is the distance, in cm, between the vertex of the cone and the closest vertex of the cube?

Let $\mathcal{P}_1$ and $\mathcal{P}_2$ be two parabolas with distinct directrices $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ and distinct foci $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. It is known that $F_1F_2||\ell_1||\ell_2$, $F_1$ lies on $\mathcal{P}_2$, and $F_2$ lies on $\mathcal{P}_1$. The two parabolas intersect at distinct points $A$ and $B$. Given that $F_1F_2=1$, the value of $AB^2$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Find $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Yannick Yao

In a room, there are $100$ light switches, labeled with the positive integers ${1,2, . . . ,100}$. They’re all initially turned off. On the $i$ th day for $1 \le i \le 100$, Bob flips every light switch with label number $k$ divisible by $i$ a total of $\frac{k}{i}$ times. Find the sum of the labels of the light switches that are turned on at the end of the $100$th day.

Two circles intersect at $A$ and $B$. A line through $A$ meets the first circle again at $C$ and the second circle again at $D$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the arcs $BC$ and $BD$ not containing $A$, and let $K$ be the midpoint of the segment $CD$. Show that $\angle MKN =\pi/2$.
