Ms. Math's kindergarten class has $16$ registered students. The classroom has a very large number, $N$, of play blocks which satisfies the conditions: (a) If $16$, $15$, or $14$ students are present, then in each case all the blocks can be distributed in equal numbers to each student, and (b) There are three integers $0 < x < y < z < 14$ such that when $x$, $y$, or $z$ students are present and the blocks are distributed in equal numbers to each student, there are exactly three blocks left over. Find the sum of the distinct prime divisors of the least possible value of $N$ satisfying the above conditions.

Maria has a board of size $n \times n$, initially with all the houses painted white. Maria decides to paint black some houses on the board, forming a mosaic, as shown in the figure below, as follows: she paints black all the houses from the edge of the board, and then leaves white the houses that have not yet been painted. Then she paints the houses on the edge of the next remaining board again black, and so on. a) Determine a value of $n$ so that the number of black houses equals $200$. b) Determine the smallest value of $n$ so that the number of black houses is greater than $2012$.

The 9 members of a baseball team went to an ice-cream parlor after their game. Each player had a singlescoop cone of chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream. At least one player chose each flavor, and the number of players who chose chocolate was greater than the number of players who chose vanilla, which was greater than the number of players who chose strawberry. Let $N$ be the number of different assignments of flavors to players that meet these conditions. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000.$

A round table has radius $ 4$. Six rectangular place mats are placed on the table. Each place mat has width $ 1$ and length $ x$ as shown. They are positioned so that each mat has two corners on the edge of the table, these two corners being end points of the same side of length $ x$. Further, the mats are positioned so that the inner corners each touch an inner corner of an adjacent mat. What is $ x$?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=5$, $BC=7$, and $CA=8$. Let $D$ be a point on $BC$, and define points $B'$ and $C'$ on line $AD$ (or its extension) such that $BB'\perp AD$ and $CC'\perp AD$. If $B'A=B'C'$, then the ratio $BD:DC$ can be expressed in the form $m:n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Michael Ren[/i]

You have a set of five weights, together with a balance that allows you to compare the weight of two things. The weights are known to be $10$, $20$,$30$,$40$ and $50$ grams, but are otherwise identical except for their labels. The $10$ and $50$ gram weights are clearly labelled, but the labels have been erased on the remaining weights. Using the balance exactly once, is it possible to determine what one of the three unlabelled weights is? If so, explain how, and if not, explain why not.

A program works as follows. If the input is given a natural number $n$ ($n \ge 2$), then the program consecutively performs the following procedure: it determines the greatest proper divisor of the number $ n$ (that is, different from $1$ and $n$) and subtracts it from the number $n$, then applies again the same procedure to the obtained result and so on. If the program cannot find any proper divisor of the given number at a step, then it stops and outputs the total number $m$ of procedures performed (this number can be equal to $0$). The input was given the number $n = 13^{13}$. Determine the respective number $m$ at the output.
