[b]p11.[/b] Larry is making a s’more. He has to have one graham cracker on the top and one on the bottom, with eight layers in between.

[b]p12.[/b] Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 3$, $BC = 4$, $AC = 5$. Circle $O$ is centered at $B$ and has radius $\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{5}$ .

[b]p13.[/b] Let $F(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial. Given that $F(x^2 - x) = F (2F(x) - 1)$ for all $x$, the sum of all possible values of $F(2022)$ can be written as $\frac{a}{b}$ , where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a + b$.
[b]p14.[/b] Find the sum of all positive integers $n$ such that $6\phi (n) = \phi (5n)+8$, where $\phi$ is Euler’s totient function.
Note: Euler’s totient $(\phi)$ is a function where $\phi (n)$ is the number of positive integers less than and relatively prime to $n$. For example, $\phi (4) = 2$ since only $1$, $3$ are the numbers less than and relatively prime to $4$.
[b]p15.[/b] Three numbers $x$, $y$, and $z$ are chosen at random from the interval $[0, 1]$. The probability that there exists an obtuse triangle with side lengths $x$, $y$, and $z$ can be written in the form $\frac{a\pi-b}{c}$ , where $a$, $b$, $c$ are positive integers with $gcd(a, b, c) = 1$. Find $a + b + c$.

2010 ISI B.Stat Entrance Exam, 10
There are $100$ people in a queue waiting to enter a hall. The hall has exactly $100$ seats numbered from $1$ to $100$. The first person in the queue enters the hall, chooses any seat and sits there. The $n$-th person in the queue, where $n$ can be $2, . . . , 100$, enters the hall after $(n-1)$-th person is seated. He sits in seat number $n$ if he finds it vacant; otherwise he takes any unoccupied seat. Find the total number of ways in which $100$ seats can be filled up, provided the $100$-th person occupies seat number $100$.

A [i]figuric [/i] is a convex polyhedron with $26^{5^{2019}}$ faces. On every face of a figuric we write down a number. When we throw two figurics (who don't necessarily have the same set of numbers on their sides) into the air, the figuric which falls on a side with the greater number wins; if this number is equal for both figurics, we repeat this process until we obtain a winner. Assume that a figuric has an equal probability of falling on any face. We say that one figuric rules over another if when throwing these figurics into the air, it has a strictly greater probability to win than the other figuric (it can be possible that given two figurics, no figuric rules over the other).
Milisav and Milojka both have a blank figuric. Milisav writes some (not necessarily distinct) positive integers on the faces of his figuric so that they sum up to $27^{5^{2019}}$. After this, Milojka also writes positive integers on the faces of her figuric so that they sum up to $27^{5^{2019}}$. Is it always possible for Milojka to create a figuric that rules over Milisav's?

One hundred empty glasses are arranged in a $10 \times 10$ array. Now we pick $a$ of the rows and pour blue liquid into all glasses in these rows, so that they are half full. The remaining rows are filled halfway with yellow liquid. Afterwards, we pick $b$ of the columns and fill them up with blue liquid. The remaining columns are filled up with yellow liquid. The mixture of blue and yellow liquid turns green. If both halves have the same colour, then that colour remains as it is.
[list=a]
[*] Determine all possible combinations of values for $a$ and $b$ so that exactly half of the glasses contain green liquid at the end.
[*] Is it possible that precisely one quarter of the glasses contain green liquid at the end?

Consider an $n \times n$ grid consisting of $n^2$ until cells, where $n \geq 3$ is a given odd positive integer. First, Dionysus colours each cell either red or blue. It is known that a frog can hop from one cell to another if and only if these cells have the same colour and share at least one vertex. Then, Xanthias views the colouring and next places $k$ frogs on the cells so that each of the $n^2$ cells can be reached by a frog in a finite number (possible zero) of hops. Find the least value of $k$ for which this is always possible regardless of the colouring chosen by Dionysus.

[i]Palindromic partitioning [/i] of the natural number $ A $ is called, when $ A $ is written as the sum of natural the terms $ A = a_1 + a_2 + \ ldots + a_ {n-1} + a_n $ ($ n \geq 1 $), in which $ a_1 = a_n , a_2 = a_ {n-1} $ and in general, $ a_i = a_ {n + 1 - i} $ with $ 1 \leq i \leq n $.

Given two positive integers $n$ and $k$, we say that $k$ is [i]$n$-ergetic[/i] if:
However the elements of $M=\{1,2,\ldots, k\}$ are coloured in red and green, there exist $n$ not necessarily distinct integers of the same colour whose sum is again an element of $M$ of the same colour. For each positive integer $n$, determine the least $n$-ergetic integer, if it exists.

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ be distinct positive integers with $x_1 = 1$. Construct an $n \times 3$ table where the entries of the $k$-th row are $x_k, 2x_k, 3x_k$ for $k = 1, 2, \dots, n$. Now follow a procedure where, in each step, two identical entries are removed from the table. This continues until there are no more identical entries in the table.

[*] Prove that there are infinitely many possible choices for $n$ and $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ such that only three entries remain.

At an IMOTC party, all people have pairwise distinct ages. Some pairs of people are friends and friendship is mutual. Call a person [i]junior[/i] if they are younger than all their friends, and [i]senior[/i] if they are older than all their friends. A person with no friends is both [i]junior[/i] and [i]senior[/i]. A sequence of pairwise distinct people $A_1, \dots, A_m$ is called [i]photogenic[/i] if:
1. $A_1$ is [i]junior[/i],
2. $A_m$ is [i]senior[/i], and
3. $A_i$ and $A_{i+1}$ are friends, and $A_{i+1}$ is older than $A_i$ for all $1 \leq i \leq m-1$.
Let $k$ be a positive integer such that for every [i]photogenic[/i] sequence $A_1, \dots, A_m$, $m$ is not divisible by $k$. Prove that the people at the party can be partitioned into $k$ groups so that no two people in the same group are friends.

Let $1 \leq n \leq 2021$ be a positive integer. Jack has $2021$ coins arranged in a line where each coin has an $H$ on one side and a $T$ on the other. At the beginning, all coins show $H$ except the nth coin. Jack can repeatedly perform the following operation: he chooses a coin showing $T$, and turns over the coins next to it to the left and to the right (if any). Determine all $n$ such that Jack can make all coins show $T$ after a finite number of operations.

Initially, the number $10$ is written on the board. In each subsequent moves, you can either
(i) erase the number $1$ and replace it with a $10$, or
(ii) erase the number $10$ and replace it with a $1$ and a $25$ or
(iii) erase a $25$ and replace it with two $10$.
After sometime, you notice that there are exactly one hundred copies of $1$ on the board. What is the least possible sum of all the numbers on the board at that moment?
