Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with $BC=CA$, and let $D$ be a point inside side $AB$ such that $AD< DB$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be two points inside sides $BC$ and $CA$, respectively, such that $\angle DPB = \angle DQA = 90^{\circ}$. Let the perpendicular bisector of $PQ$ meet line segment $CQ$ at $E$, and let the circumcircles of triangles $ABC$ and $CPQ$ meet again at point $F$, different from $C$. Suppose that $P$, $E$, $F$ are collinear. Prove that $\angle ACB = 90^{\circ}$.

[b]p1.[/b] A large square is cut into four smaller, congruent squares. If each of the smaller squares has perimeter $4$, what was the perimeter of the original square? [b]p2.[/b] Pie loves to bake apples so much that he spends $24$ hours a day baking them. If Pie bakes a dozen apples in one day, how many minutes does it take Pie to bake one apple, on average? [b]p3.[/b] Bames Jond is sent to spy on James Pond. One day, Bames sees James type in his $4$-digit phone password. Bames remembers that James used the digits $0$, $5$, and $9$, and no other digits, but he does not remember the order. How many possible phone passwords satisfy this condition? [b]p4.[/b] What do you get if you square the answer to this question, add $256$ to it, and then divide by $32$? [b]p5.[/b] Chloe the Horse and Flower the Chicken are best friends. When Chloe gets sad for any reason, she calls Flower, so Chloe must remember Flower's $3$ digit phone number, which can consist of any digits $0-5$. Given that the phone number's digits are unique and add to $5$, the number does not start with $0$, and the $3$ digit number is prime, what is the sum of all possible phone numbers? [b]p6.[/b] Anuj has a circular pizza with diameter $A$ inches, which is cut into $B$ congruent slices, where $A$,$B$ are positive integers. If one of Anuj's pizza slices has a perimeter of $3\pi + 30$ inches, find $A + B$. [b]p7.[/b] Bob really likes to study math. Unfortunately, he gets easily distracted by messages sent by friends. At the beginning of every minute, there is an $\frac{6}{10}$ chance that he will get a message from a friend. If Bob does get a message from a friend, there is a $\frac{9}{10}$ chance that he will look at the message, causing him to waste $30$ seconds before resuming his studying. If Bob doesn't get a message from a friend, there is a $\frac{3}{10}$ chance Bob will still check his messages hoping for a message from his friends, wasting $10$ seconds before he resumes his studying.

Find $a + b + c + d$. [b]p15.[/b] Many students in Mr. Noeth's BC Calculus class missed their first test, and to avoid taking a makeup, have decided to never leave their houses again. As a result, Mr. Noeth decides that he will have to visit their houses to deliver the makeup tests. Conveniently, the $17$ absent students in his class live in consecutive houses on the same street. Mr. Noeth chooses at least three of every four people in consecutive houses to take a makeup. How many ways can Mr. Noeth select students to take makeups? PS. You should use hide for answers.
