Laurie plays a game called $\textit{bash}$ where she picks two distinct numbers between $1$ and $10$, inclusive, at random. She then finds their sum, product, and non-negative difference. At random, she picks two of these three numbers and tells them to Ali. If the probability that Ali is able to logically deduce the original numbers can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$, with $m$ and $n$ relatively prime, find $m+n$. [i]Proposed by [b] atmchallenge [/b][/i]

A knight is placed at the origin of the Cartesian plane. Each turn, the knight moves in an chess $\text{L}$-shape ($2$ units parallel to one axis and $1$ unit parallel to the other) to one of eight possible location, chosen at random. After $2016$ such turns, what is the expected value of the square of the distance of the knight from the origin?

We call a pair of polygons, $p$ and $q$, [i]nesting[/i] if we can draw one inside the other, possibly after rotation and/or reflection; otherwise we call them [i]non-nesting[/i]. Let $p$ and $q$ be polygons. Prove that if we can find a polygon $r$, which is similar to $q$, such that $r$ and $p$ are non-nesting if and only if $p$ and $q$ are not similar.

For a positive integer $k>1$ with $\gcd(k,2020)=1,$ we say a positive integer $N$ is [i]$k$-bad[/i] if there do not exist nonnegative integers $x$ and $y$ with $N=2020x+ky$. Suppose $k$ is a positive integer with $k>1$ and $\gcd(k,2020)=1$ such that the following property holds: if $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $m+n=2019(k-1)$ and $m \geq n$ and $m$ is $k$-bad, then $n$ is $k$-bad. Compute the sum of all possible values of $k$. [i]Proposed by Jaedon Whyte[/i]

We denote by $S(k)$ the sum of digits of a positive integer number $k$. We say that the positive integer $a$ is $n$-good, if there is a sequence of positive integers $a_0$, $a_1, \dots , a_n$, so that $a_n = a$ and $a_{i + 1} = a_i -S (a_i)$ for all $i = 0, 1,. . . , n-1$. Is it true that for any positive integer $n$ there exists a positive integer $b$, which is $n$-good, but not $(n + 1)$-good? A. Antropov

There are $12$ acrobats who are assigned a distinct number ($1, 2, \cdots , 12$) respectively. Half of them stand around forming a circle (called circle A); the rest form another circle (called circle B) by standing on the shoulders of every two adjacent acrobats in circle A respectively. Then circle A and circle B make up a formation. We call a formation a “[i]tower[/i]” if the number of any acrobat in circle B is equal to the sum of the numbers of the two acrobats whom he stands on. How many heterogeneous [i]towers[/i] are there? (Note: two [i]towers[/i] are homogeneous if either they are symmetrical or one may become the other one by rotation. We present an example of $8$ acrobats (see attachment). Numbers inside the circle represent the circle A; numbers outside the circle represent the circle B. All these three formations are “[i]towers[/i]”, however they are homogeneous [i]towers[/i].)
