Let $S$ be a square with sides of length $2$ and $R$ be a rhombus with sides of length $2$ and angles measuring $60^\circ$ and $120^\circ$. These quadrilaterals are arranged to have the same centre and the diagonals of the rhombus are parallel to the sides of the square. Calculate the area of the region on which the figures overlap.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 26$, $BC = 51$, and $CA = 73$, and let $O$ be an arbitrary point in the interior of $\vartriangle ABC$. Lines $\ell_1$, $\ell_2$, and $\ell_3$ pass through $O$ and are parallel to $\overline{AB}$, $\overline{BC}$, and $\overline{CA}$, respectively. The intersections of $\ell_1$, $\ell_2$, and $\ell_3$ and the sides of $\vartriangle ABC$ form a hexagon whose area is $A$. Compute the minimum value of $A$.

A triangle of area $1$ is cut out of paper. Prove that it can be bent along a straight segment so that the area of the resulting figure is less than $s_0$, where $s_0=\frac{\sqrt5-1}{2}$. Note. The value $s_0$ specified in the condition can be reduced (the smallest value of$s_0$ is unknown to the authors of the problem). If you manage to do this (and justify it), write.

A sheet of paper has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid $C_1AB_2C_2$ with the shorter base $B_2C_2$. The foot of the perpendicular from the midpoint $D$ of $C_1C_2$ to $AC_1$ is denoted by $B_1$. Suppose that upon folding the paper along $DB_1, AD$ and $AC_1$ points $C_1,C_2$ become a single point $C$ and points $B_1,B_2$ become a point $B$. The area of the tetrahedron $ABCD$ is $64$ cm$^3$ . Find the sides of the initial trapezoid.

Ali Barber, the carpet merchant, has a rectangular piece of carpet whose dimensions are unknown. Unfortunately, his tape measure is broken and he has no other measuring instruments. However, he finds that if he lays it flat on the floor of either of his storerooms, then each corner of the carpet touches a different wall of that room. He knows that the sides of the carpet are integral numbers of feet and that his two storerooms have the same (unknown) length, but widths of 38 feet and 50 feet respectively. What are the carpet dimensions?

A figure with area $1$ is cut out of paper. We divide this figure into $10$ parts and color them in $10$ different colors. Now, we turn around the piece of paper, divide the same figure on the other side of the paper in $10$ parts again (in some different way). Show that we can color these new parts in the same $10$ colors again (hereby, different parts should have different colors) such that the sum of the areas of all parts of the figure colored with the same color on both sides is $\geq \frac{1}{10}.$

Alice is standing on the circumference of a large circular room of radius $10$. There is a circular pillar in the center of the room of radius $5$ that blocks Alice’s view. The total area in the room Alice can see can be expressed in the form $\frac{m\pi}{n} +p\sqrt{q}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $p$ and $q$ are integers such that $q$ is square-free. Compute $m + n + p + q$. (Note that the pillar is not included in the total area of the room.)
