Four students from Harvard, one of them named Jack, and five students from MIT, one of them named Jill, are going to see a Boston Celtics game. However, they found out that only $ 5$ tickets remain, so $ 4$ of them must go back. Suppose that at least one student from each school must go see the game, and at least one of Jack and Jill must go see the game, how many ways are there of choosing which $ 5$ people can see the game?

Christopher and Robin are playing a game in which they take turns tossing a circular token of diameter 1 inch onto an infinite checkerboard whose squares have sides of 2 inches. If the token lands entirely in a square, the player who tossed the token gets 1 point; otherwise, the other player gets 1 point. A player wins as soon as he gets two more points than the other player. If Christopher tosses first, what is the probability that he will win? Express your answer as a fraction.

In the 2009 Stanford Olympics, Willy and Sammy are two bikers. The circular race track has two lanes, the inner lane with radius 11, and the outer with radius 12. Willy will start on the inner lane, and Sammy on the outer. They will race for one complete lap, measured by the inner track. What is the square of the distance between Willy and Sammy's starting positions so that they will both race the same distance? Assume that they are of point size and ride perfectly along their respective lanes

The Duke of Squares left to his three sons a square estate, $100\times 100$ square miles, made up of ten thousand $1\times 1$ square mile square plots. The whole estate was divided among his sons as follows. Each son was assigned a point inside the estate. A $1\times 1$ square plot was bequeathed to the son whose assigned point was closest to the center of this square plot. Is it true that, irrespective of the choice of assigned points, each of the regions bequeathed to the sons is connected (that is, there is a path between every two of its points, never leaving the region)?

How many ways are there to fill in a $2\times 2$ square grid with the numbers $1,2,3,$ and $4$ such that the numbers in any two grid squares that share an edge have an absolute difference of at most $2$? [i]Proposed by Andrew Wu[/i]

1. If $5x+3y-z=4$, $x=y$, and $z=4$, find $x+y+z$. 2. How many ways are there to pick three distinct vertices of a regular hexagon such that the triangle with those three points as its vertices shares exactly one side with the hexagon? 3. Sirena picks five distinct positive primes, $p_1 < p_2 < p_3 < p_4 < p_5$, and finds that they sum to $192$. If the product $p_1p_2p_3p_4p_5$ is as large as possible, what is $p_1 - p_2 + p_3 - p_4 + p_5$?

4. Suppose that $\overline{A2021B}$ is a six-digit integer divisible by $9$. Find the maximum possible value of $A \cdot B$. 5. In an arbitrary triangle, two distinct segments are drawn from each vertex to the opposite side. What is the minimum possible number of intersection points between these segments? 6. Suppose that $a$ and $b$ are positive integers such that $\frac{a}{b-20}$ and $\frac{b+21}{a}$ are positive integers. Find the maximum possible value of $a + b$.

Let $G$ be an undirected simple graph. Let $f(G)$ be the number of ways to orient all of the edges of $G$ in one of the two possible directions so that the resulting directed graph has no directed cycles. Show that $f(G)$ is a multiple of $3$ if and only if $G$ has a cycle of odd length.

(Mathematicians A to Z) Below are the names of 26 mathematicians, one for each letter of the alphabet. Your answer to this question should be a subset of $\{A,B,\cdots,Z\}$, where each letter represents the corresponding mathematician. If two mathematicians in your subset have birthdates that are within $20$ years of each other, then your score is $0$. Otherwise, your score is $\max(3(k-3),0)$ where $k$ is the number of elements in your set. \[\begin{tabular}{cc}Niels Abel & Isaac Newton\\Etienne Bezout & Nicole Oresme \\ Augustin-Louis Cauchy & Blaise Pascal \\ Rene Descartes & Daniel Quillen \\ Leonhard Euler & Bernhard Riemann\\ Pierre Fatou & Jean-Pierre Serre \\ Alexander Grothendieck & Alan Turing \\ David Hilbert & Stanislaw Ulam \\ Kenkichi Iwasawa & John Venn \\ Carl Jacobi & Andrew Wiles \\ Andrey Kolmogorov & Leonardo Ximenes \\ Joseph-Louis Lagrange & Shing-Tung Yau \\ John Milnor & Ernst Zermelo\end{tabular}\]

What quadratic polynomial whose coefficient of $x^2$ is $1$ has roots which are the complex conjugates of the solutions of $x^2 -6x+ 11 = 2xi-10i$? (Note that the complex conjugate of $a+bi$ is $a-bi$, where a and b are real numbers.)

The Princeton University Band plays a setlist of 8 distinct songs, 3 of which are tiring to play. If the Band can't play any two tiring songs in a row, how many ways can the band play its 8 songs?

Let $ C_1$ and $ C_2$ be externally tangent circles with radius 2 and 3, respectively. Let $ C_3$ be a circle internally tangent to both $ C_1$ and $ C_2$ at points $ A$ and $ B$, respectively. The tangents to $ C_3$ at $ A$ and $ B$ meet at $ T$, and $ TA \equal{} 4$. Determine the radius of $ C_3$.

How many ways are there to choose distinct positive integers $a, b, c, d$ dividing $15^6$ such that none of $a, b, c,$ or $d$ divide each other? (Order does not matter.) [i]Proposed by Miles Yamner and Andrew Wu[/i] (Note: wording changed from original to clarify)

A right rectangular prism has integer side lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. If $\text{lcm}(a,b)=72$, $\text{lcm}(a,c)=24$, and $\text{lcm}(b,c)=18$, what is the sum of the minimum and maximum possible volumes of the prism? [i]Proposed by Deyuan Li and Andrew Milas[/i]

Let $a, b, c, d$ three strictly positive real numbers such that \[a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=d^{2}+e^{2},\] \[a^{4}+b^{4}+c^{4}=d^{4}+e^{4}.\] Compare \[a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}\] with \[d^{3}+e^{3},\]
