Consider a $100\times 100$ square unit lattice $\textbf{L}$ (hence $\textbf{L}$ has $10000$ points). Suppose $\mathcal{F}$ is a set of polygons such that all vertices of polygons in $\mathcal{F}$ lie in $\textbf{L}$ and every point in $\textbf{L}$ is the vertex of exactly one polygon in $\mathcal{F}.$ Find the maximum possible sum of the areas of the polygons in $\mathcal{F}.$ [i]Michael Ren and Ankan Bhattacharya, USA[/i]

We have $n$ bags each having $100$ coins. All of the bags have $10$ gram coins except one of them which has $9$ gram coins. We have a balance which can show weights of things that have weight of at most $1$ kilogram. At least how many times shall we use the balance in order to find the different bag?

$\triangle ABC$ has a right angle at $B$, $AB = 12$, and $BC = 16$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AC$. Let $\omega_1$ be the incircle of $\triangle ABM$ and $\omega_2$ be the incircle of $\triangle BCM$. The line externally tangent to $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ that is not $AC$ intersects $AB$ and $BC$ at $X$ and $Y$, respectively. If the area of $\triangle BXY$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$, compute is $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Alex Li[/i]

Jonathan has a magical coin machine which takes coins in amounts of $7, 8$, and $9$. If he puts in $7$ coins, he gets $3$ coins back; if he puts in $8$, he gets $11$ back; and if he puts in $9$, he gets $4$ back. The coin machine does not allow two entries of the same amount to happen consecutively. Starting with $15$ coins, what is the minimum number of entries he can make to end up with $4$ coins?

Refer to the diagram below. Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with center $O$. Let the internal angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle C$ intersect at $I$ and let those of $\angle B$ and $\angle D$ intersect at $J$. Now extend $AB$ and $CD$ to intersect $IJ$ and $P$ and $R$ respectively and let $IJ$ intersect $BC$ and $DA$ at $Q$ and $S$ respectively. Let the midpoints of $PR$ and $QS$ be $M$ and $N$ respectively. Given that $O$ does not lie on the line $IJ$, show that $OM$ and $ON$ are perpendicular.

In each square of a garden shaped like a $2022 \times 2022$ board, there is initially a tree of height $0$. A gardener and a lumberjack alternate turns playing the following game, with the gardener taking the first turn: [list] [*] The gardener chooses a square in the garden. Each tree on that square and all the surrounding squares (of which there are at most eight) then becomes one unit taller. [*] The lumberjack then chooses four different squares on the board. Each tree of positive height on those squares then becomes one unit shorter. [/list] We say that a tree is [i]majestic[/i] if its height is at least $10^6$. Determine the largest $K$ such that the gardener can ensure there are eventually $K$ majestic trees on the board, no matter how the lumberjack plays.
