Five identical empty buckets of $2$-liter capacity stand at the vertices of a regular pentagon. Cinderella and her wicked Stepmother go through a sequence of rounds: At the beginning of every round, the Stepmother takes one liter of water from the nearby river and distributes it arbitrarily over the five buckets. Then Cinderella chooses a pair of neighbouring buckets, empties them to the river and puts them back. Then the next round begins. The Stepmother goal's is to make one of these buckets overflow. Cinderella's goal is to prevent this. Can the wicked Stepmother enforce a bucket overflow? [i]Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Netherlands[/i]

Friends Alice, Betty, and Cathy are playing a game. Betty and Cathy are each given a square number, such that Betty knows Cathy's number and Cathy knows Betty's, but neither of them know their own. Alice then says: "The sum of the numbers is less than 100." Betty says: "If Cathy knew the number of possibilities for my number, she would know her own." Cathy then says: "Now I know my number." What is Cathy's number? $\textbf{(A) }16\qquad\textbf{(B) }25\qquad\textbf{(C) }36\qquad\textbf{(D) }49\qquad\textbf{(E) }64$

Find $1000p+q$. [i]Proposed by James Lin[/i]

Baron Munchausen has a set of $50$ coins. The mass of each is a distinct positive integer not exceeding $100$, and the total mass is even. The Baron claims that it is not possible to divide the coins into two piles with equal total mass. Can the Baron be right?

Let $\Omega$ be a circle, and let $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ and $K$ be distinct points on it, in that order, and such that lines $BC$ and $AD$ are parallel.

Let $S = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ for some positive integer $n$, and let $A$ be an $n$-by-$n$ matrix having as entries only ones and zeroes.

Consider a $100 \times 100$ table, and identify the cell in row $a$ and column $b$, $1 \leq a, b \leq 100$, with the ordered pair $(a, b)$. Let $k$ be an integer such that $51 \leq k \leq 99$. A $k$-knight is a piece that moves one cell vertically or horizontally and $k$ cells to the other direction; that is, it moves from $(a, b)$ to $(c, d)$ such that $(|a-c|, |b - d|)$ is either $(1, k)$ or $(k, 1)$. The $k$-knight starts at cell $(1, 1)$, and performs several moves. A sequence of moves is a sequence of cells $(x_0, y_0)= (1, 1)$, $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$, $\ldots, (x_n, y_n)$ such that, for all $i = 1, 2, \ldots, n$, $1 \leq x_i , y_i \leq 100$ and the $k$-knight can move from $(x_{i-1}, y_{i-1})$ to $(x_i, y_i)$. In this case, each cell $(x_i, y_i)$ is said to be reachable. For each $k$, find $L(k)$, the number of reachable cells.

Mr. Murgatroyd decides to throw his class a pizza party, but he's going to make them hunt for it first. He chooses eleven locations in the school, which we'll call $1, 2, \ldots, 11$. His plan is to tell students to start at location $1$, and at each location $n$ from $1$ to $10$, they will find a message directing them to go to location $n+1$; at location $11$, there's pizza! Mr. Murgatroyd sends his teaching assistant to post the ten messages in locations $1$ to $10$. Unfortunately, the assistant jumbles up the message cards at random before posting them. If the students begin at location $1$ as planned and follow the directions at each location, show that they will still get to the pizza.
