Point $P$ is located inside a square $ABCD$ of side length $10$. Let $O_1$, $O_2$, $O_3$, $O_4$ be the circumcenters of $P AB$, $P BC$, $P CD$, and $P DA$, respectively. Given that $P A+P B +P C +P D = 23\sqrt2$ and the area of $O_1O_2O_3O_4$ is $50$, the second largest of the lengths $O_1O_2$, $O_2O_3$, $O_3O_4$, $O_4O_1$ can be written as $\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100a + b$.

Consider a convex quadrilateral, and the incircles of the triangles determined by one of its diagonals. Prove that the tangency points of the incircles with the diagonal are symmetrical with respect to the midpoint of the diagonal if and only if the line of the incenters passes through the crossing point of the diagonals.

Circle $C$ with radius $2$ has diameter $\overline{AB}$. Circle $D$ is internally tangent to circle $C$ at $A$. Circle $E$ is internally tangent to circle $C,$ externally tangent to circle $D,$ and tangent to $\overline{AB}$. The radius of circle $D$ is three times the radius of circle $E$ and can be written in the form $\sqrt{m} - n,$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Some points in the plane are either colored red or blue. The distance between two points of the opposite color is at most 1. Prove that there exists a circle with diameter $\sqrt{2}$ such that no two points outside of this circle have same color. It is enough to prove this claim for a finite number of colored points.

A worm is called an [i]adult[/i] if its length is one meter. In one operation, it is possible to cut an adult worm into two (possibly unequal) parts, each of which immediately becomes a worm and begins to grow at a speed of one meter per hour and stops growing once it reaches one meter in length. What is the smallest amount of time in which it is possible to get $n{}$ adult worms starting with one adult worm? Note that it is possible to cut several adult worms at the same time.

The wheel shown below consists of two circles and five spokes, with a label at each point where a spoke meets a circle. A bug walks along the wheel, starting at point \(A\). At every step of the process, the bug walks from one labeled point to an adjacent labeled point. Along the inner circle the bug only walks in a counterclockwise direction, and along the outer circle the bug only walks in a clockwise direction. For example, the bug could travel along the path \(AJABCHCHIJA\), which has \(10\) steps. Let \(n\) be the number of paths with \(15\) steps that begin and end at point \(A\). Find the remainder when \(n\) is divided by \(1000\).
