Let $O$ be the center of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ of area $1/\pi$. As shown in the diagram below, a circle centered at $O$ meets the triangle at points $D$, $E$, $F$, $G$, $H$, and $I$, which trisect each of the triangle's sides. Compute the total area of all six shaded regions.

Let $(a, b, c, d)$ be an ordered quadruple of not necessarily distinct integers, each one of them in the set $\{0,1,2,3\}$. For how many such quadruples is it true that $a\cdot d-b\cdot c$ is odd$?$ (For example, $(0, 3, 1, 1)$ is one such quadruple, because $0\cdot 1-3\cdot 1=-3$ is odd.) $\textbf{(A) } 48 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 64 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 96 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 128 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 192$

Every card in a deck has a picture of one shape - circle, square, or triangle, which is painted in one of the three colors - red, blue, or green. Furthermore, each color is applied in one of three shades - light, medium, or dark. The deck has 27 cards, with every shape-color-shade combination represented. A set of three cards from the deck is called complementary if all of the following statements are true: i. Either each of the three cards has a different shape or all three of the card have the same shape. ii. Either each of the three cards has a different color or all three of the cards have the same color. iii. Either each of the three cards has a different shade or all three of the cards have the same shade. How many different complementary three-card sets are there?

Given a list $A$, let $f(A) = [A[0] + A[1], A[0] - A[1]]$. Alef makes two programs to compute $f(f(...(f(A))))$, where the function is composed $n$ times: \begin{tabular}{l|l} 1: \textbf{FUNCTION} $T_1(A, n)$ & 1: \textbf{FUNCTION} $T_2(A, n)$ \\ 2: $\quad$ \textbf{IF} $n = 0$ & 2: $\quad$ \textbf{IF} $n = 0$ \\ 3: $\quad$ $\quad$ \textbf{RETURN} $A$ & 3: $\quad$ $\quad$ \textbf{RETURN} $A$ \\ 4: $\quad$ \textbf{ELSE} & 4: $\quad$ \textbf{ELSE} \\ 5: $\quad$ $\quad$ \textbf{RETURN} $[T_1(A, n - 1)[0] + T_1(A, n - 1)[1],$ & 5: $\quad$ $\quad$ $B \leftarrow T_2(A, n - 1)$ \\ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $T_1(A, n - 1)[0] - T_1(A, n - 1)[1]]$ & 6: $\quad$ $\quad$ \textbf{RETURN} $[B[0] + B[1], B[0] - B[1]]$ \\ \end{tabular} Each time $T_1$ or $T_2$ is called, Alef has to pay one dollar.

On a magical island there are lions, wolves and goats. Wolves can eat goats while lions can eat both wolves and goats. But if a lion eats a wolf, the lion becomes a goat. Likewise if a wolf eats a goat, the wolf becomes a lion. And if a lion eats a goat, the lion becomes a wolf. Initially on the island there are $17$ goats, $55$ wolves and $6$ lions. If they start eating until they no longer possible to eat more, what is the maximum number of animals that they can stay alive?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=7, AC=9, BC=10$, circumcenter $O$, circumradius $R$, and circumcircle $\omega$. Let the tangents to $\omega$ at $B,C$ meet at $X$. A variable line $\ell$ passes through $O$. Let $A_1$ be the projection of $X$ onto $\ell$ and $A_2$ be the reflection of $A_1$ over $O$. Suppose that there exist two points $Y,Z$ on $\ell$ such that $\angle YAB+\angle YBC+\angle YCA=\angle ZAB+\angle ZBC+\angle ZCA=90^{\circ}$, where all angles are directed, and furthermore that $O$ lies inside segment $YZ$ with $OY*OZ=R^2$. Then there are several possible values for the sine of the angle at which the angle bisector of $\angle AA_2O$ meets $BC$. If the product of these values can be expressed in the form $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ for positive integers $a,b,c$ with $b$ squarefree and $a,c$ coprime, determine $a+b+c$. [i]Proposed by Vincent Huang

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$, and $CA = 15$. Let $D$, $E$, and $F$ be the midpoints of $AB$, $BC$, and $CA$ respectively. Imagine cutting $\vartriangle ABC$ out of paper and then folding $\vartriangle AFD$ up along $FD$, folding $\vartriangle BED$ up along $DE$, and folding $\vartriangle CEF$ up along $EF$ until $A$, $B$, and $C$ coincide at a point $G$. The volume of the tetrahedron formed by vertices $D$, $E$, $F$, and $G$ can be expressed as $\frac{p\sqrt{q}}{r}$ , where $p$, $q$, and $r$ are positive integers, $p$ and $r$ are relatively prime, and $q$ is square-free. Find $p + q + r$.
