Let $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ be two circles with radii $r_1$ and $r_2,$ respectively, where $r_1>r_2.$ Suppose $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ intersect at two distinct points $A$ and $B.$ A point $C$ is selected on ray $\overrightarrow{AB},$ past $B,$ and the tangents to $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ from $C$ are marked as points $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. Suppose that $\Gamma_2$ passes through the center of $\Gamma_1$ and that points $P, B, Q$ are collinear in that order, with $PB=3$ and $QB=2.$ What is the length of $AB?$

The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs are playing a best-of-five series basketball championship, in which the team that first wins three games wins the whole series. Assume that the probability that the Heat wins a given game is $x$ (there are no ties). The expected value for the total number of games played can be written as $f(x)$, with $f$ a polynomial. Find $f(-1)$.

The cells of a $8 \times 8$ table are initially white. Alice and Bob play a game. First Alice paints $n$ of the fields in red. Then Bob chooses $4$ rows and $4$ columns from the table and paints all fields in them in black. Alice wins if there is at least one red field left. Find the least value of $n$ such that Alice can win the game no matter how Bob plays.

In some primary school there were $94$ students in $7$th grade. Some students are involved in extracurricular activities: spanish and german language and sports. Spanish language studies $40$ students outside school program, german $27$ students and $60$ students do sports. Out of the students doing sports, $24$ of them also goes to spanish language. $10$ students who study spanish also study german. $12$ students who study german also do sports. Only $4$ students go to all three activities. How many of them does only one of the activities, and how much of them do not go to any activity?
