Among all ellipses with center at the origin, exactly one such ellipse is tangent to the graph of the curve $x^3 - 6x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3 + 9x^2 - 9xy + 9y^2 = 0$ at three distinct points. The area of this ellipse is $\frac{k\pi\sqrt{m}}{n}$, where $k,m,$ and $n$ are positive integers such that $\gcd(k,n)=1$ and $m$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $100k+10m+n$.

If the odds for either to win any game are even and Team $\text{A}$ must win two or Team $\text{B}$ three games to win the series, then the odds favoring Team $\text{A}$ to win the series are $\textbf{(A) }11\text{ to }5\qquad\textbf{(B) }5\text{ to }2\qquad\textbf{(C) }8\text{ to }3\qquad\textbf{(D) }3\text{ to }2\qquad \textbf{(E) }13\text{ to }6$

A certain $4$ digit prime number has all prime digits. When any one of the digits is removed, the remaning three digits form a composite number in their initial order (i.e. if $1234$ were the answer, then $123$, $234$, $134$, and $124$ would have to be composite.) What is the largest possible value of this number?

Let $s(n)$ denote the sum of the digits (in base ten) of a positive integer $n.$ Compute the number of positive integers $n$ at most $10^4$ that satisfy $$s(11n)=2s(n).$$

Given triangle $ABC$ the point $J$ is the centre of the excircle opposite the vertex $A.$ This excircle is tangent to the side $BC$ at $M$, and to the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at $K$ and $L$, respectively. The lines $LM$ and $BJ$ meet at $F$, and the lines $KM$ and $CJ$ meet at $G.$ Let $S$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AF$ and $BC$, and let $T$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AG$ and $BC.$ Prove that $M$ is the midpoint of $ST.$ (The [i]excircle[/i] of $ABC$ opposite the vertex $A$ is the circle that is tangent to the line segment $BC$, to the ray $AB$ beyond $B$, and to the ray $AC$ beyond $C$.)

Rick has $7$ books on his shelf: three identical red books, two identical blue books, a yellow book, and a green book. Dave accidentally knocks over the shelf and has to put the books back on in the same order. He knows that none of the red books were next to each other and that the yellow book was one of the first four books on the shelf, counting from the left. If Dave puts back the books according to the rules, but otherwise randomly, what is the probability that he puts the books back correctly?

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $T$ denote the collection of points $(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n) \in \mathbb R^n$ for which there exists a permutation $\sigma$ of $1, 2, \ldots , n$ such that $x_{\sigma(i)} - x_{\sigma(i+1) } \geq 1$ for each $i=1, 2, \ldots , n.$ Prove that there is a real number $d$ satisfying the following condition: For every $(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n) \in \mathbb R^n$ there exist points $(b_1, \ldots, b_n)$ and $(c_1,\ldots, c_n)$ in $T$ such that, for each $i = 1, . . . , n,$ \[a_i=\frac 12 (b_i+c_i) , \quad |a_i - b_i|  \leq d, \quad \text{and} \quad |a_i - c_i| \leq d.\]

A simple pendulum experiment is constructed from a point mass $m$ attached to a pivot by a massless rod of length $L$ in a constant gravitational field. The rod is released from an angle $\theta_0 < \frac{\pi}{2}$ at rest and the period of motion is found to be $T_0$. Ignore air resistance and friction. The experiment is repeated with a new pendulum with a rod of length $4L$, using the same angle $\theta_0$, and the period of motion is found to be $T$. Which of the following statements is correct? $\textbf{(A) } T = 2T_0 \text{ regardless of the value of } \theta_0\\ \textbf{(B) } T > 2T_0 \text{ with } T \approx 2T_0 \text{ if } \theta_0 \ll 1\\ \textbf{(C) } T < 2T_0 \text{ with } T \approx 2T_0 \text{ if } \theta_0 \ll 1\\ \textbf{(D) } T < 2T_0 \text{ with some values of } \theta_0 \text{ and } T > 2T_0 \text{ for other values of } \theta_0\\ \textbf{(E) } T \text{ and } T_0 \text{ are not defined because the motion is not periodic unless } \theta_0 \ll 1$

Kostya drives a car from a village to a city, driving along three roads. Moreover, on each of these roads, he drives at a constant speed. Is it possible that a third of the distance traveled was completed earlier than a third of the time, half of the distance traveled later than half of the time, and two-thirds of the distance was earlier than two-thirds of the time?

There are $15$ people attending math team: $12$ students and $3$ captains. One of the captains brings $33$ identical snacks. A nonnegative number of names (students and/or captains) are written on the NO SNACK LIST. At the end of math team, all students each get n snacks, and all captains get $n +1$ snacks, unless the person’s name is written on the board. After everyone’s snacks are distributed, there are none left. Find the number of possible integer values of $n$.
