The point $K{}$ is the middle of the arc $BAC$ of the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$. The point $I{}$ is the center of its inscribed circle $\omega$. The line $KI$ intersects the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$ at $T{}$ for the second time. Prove that the circle passing through the midpoints of the segments $BC, BT$ and $CT$ is tangent to the circle which is symmetric to $\omega$ with respect to $BC$.

Calculate the Gauss integral
\[\oint\frac{(d\overrightarrow{A},d\overrightarrow{B},\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B})}{|\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B}|^3}\]
where $\overrightarrow{A}$ runs along the curve $x=\cos\alpha$, $y=\sin\alpha$, $z=0$, and $\overrightarrow{B}$ along the curve $x=2\cos^2\beta$, $y=\frac12\sin\beta$, $z=\sin2\beta$.
Note: that $\oint$ was supposed to be oiint (i.e. $\iint$ with a circle) but the command does not work on AoPS.

Alice and Bob live on the edges and vertices of the unit cube. Alice begins at point $(0, 0, 0)$ and Bob begins at $(1, 1, 1)$. Every second, each of them chooses one of the three adjacent corners and walks at a constant rate of $1$ unit per second along the edge until they reach the corner, after which they repeat the process. What is the expected amount of time in seconds before Alice and Bob meet?

A ferry boat shuttles tourists to an island every hour starting at 10 AM until its last trip, which starts at 3 PM. One day the boat captain notes that on the 10 AM trip there were $ 100$ tourists on the ferry boat, and that on each successive trip, the number of tourists was $ 1$ fewer than on the previous trip. How many tourists did the ferry take to the island that day?

Let $ S(n) $ be the sum of the squares of the positive integers less than and coprime to $ n $. For example, $ S(5) = 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 $, but $ S(4) = 1^2 + 3^2 $. Let $ p = 2^7 - 1 = 127 $ and $ q = 2^5 - 1 = 31 $ be primes. The quantity $ S(pq) $ can be written in the form $$ \frac{p^2q^2}{6}\left(a - \frac{b}{c} \right) $$ where $ a $, $ b $, and $ c $ are positive integers, with $ b $ and $ c $ coprime and $ b < c $. Find $ a $.

[b]p3.[/b] As Alissa left her house to go to work one hour away, she noticed that her odometer read $16261$ miles. This number is a "special" number for Alissa because it is a palindrome and it contains exactly $1$ prime digit. When she got home that evening, it had changed to the next greatest "special" number. What was Alissa's average speed, in miles per hour, during her two hour trip?
