Bella begins to walk from her house toward her friend Ella's house. At the same time, Ella begins to ride her bicycle toward Bella's house. They each maintain a constant speed, and Ella rides 5 times as fast as Bella walks. The distance between their houses is $2$ miles, which is $10,560$ feet, and Bella covers $2 \tfrac{1}{2}$ feet with each step. How many steps will Bella take by the time she meets Ella? $\textbf{(A) }704\qquad\textbf{(B) }845\qquad\textbf{(C) }1056\qquad\textbf{(D) }1760\qquad \textbf{(E) }3520$

Fix positive integers $n$ and $k$ such that $2 \le k \le n$ and a set $M$ consisting of $n$ fruits. A [i]permutation[/i] is a sequence $x=(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)$ such that $\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}=M$. Ivan [i]prefers[/i] some (at least one) of these permutations. He realized that for every preferred permutation $x$, there exist $k$ indices $i_1 < i_2 < \ldots < i_k$ with the following property: for every $1 \le j < k$, if he swaps $x_{i_j}$ and $x_{i_{j+1}}$, he obtains another preferred permutation. \\ Prove that he prefers at least $k!$ permutations.

A right cylinder is given with a height of $20$ and a circular base of radius $5$. A vertical planar cut is made into this base of radius $5$. A vertical planar cut, perpendicular to the base, is made into this cylinder, splitting the cylinder into two pieces. Suppose the area the cut leaves behind on one of the pieces is $100\sqrt2$. Then the volume of the larger piece can be written as $a + b\pi$, where $a, b$ are positive integers. Find $a + b$.

$ABC$ is a triangle with orthocenter $H$. The median from $A$ meets the circumcircle again at $A_1$, and $A_2$ is the reflection of $A_1$ in the midpoint of $BC$.

Initially, $10$ ones are written on a blackboard. Grisha and Gleb are playing game, by taking turns; Grisha goes first. On one move Grisha squares some $5$ numbers on the board. On his move, Gleb picks a few (perhaps none) numbers on the board and increases each of them by $1$. If in $10,000$ moves on the board a number divisible by $2023$ appears, Gleb wins, otherwise Grisha wins. Which of the players has a winning strategy?

Let us define a $\textit{triangle equivalence}$ a group of numbers that can be arranged as shown $a+b=c$ $d+e+f=g+h$ $i+j+k+l=m+n+o$ and so on... Where at the $j$-th row, the left hand side has $j+1$ terms and the right hand side has $j$ terms. Now, we are given the first $N^2$ positive integers, where $N$ is a positive integer. Suppose we eliminate any one number that has the same parity with $N$. Prove that the remaining $N^2-1$ numbers can be formed into a $\textit{triangle equivalence}$. For example, if $10$ is eliminated from the first $16$ numbers, the remaining numbers can be arranged into a $\textit{triangle equivalence}$ as shown. $1+3=4$ $2+5+8=6+9$ $7+11+12+14=13+15+16$

A point is chosen at random within the square in the coordinate plane whose vertices are $(0, 0),$ $(2020, 0),$ $(2020, 2020),$ and $(0, 2020)$. The probability that the point is within $d$ units of a lattice point is $\tfrac{1}{2}$. (A point $(x, y)$ is a lattice point if $x$ and $y$ are both integers.) What is $d$ to the nearest tenth$?$ $\textbf{(A) } 0.3 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 0.4 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 0.5 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 0.6 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 0.7$
