Rectangle $R_0$ has sides of lengths $3$ and $4$. Rectangles $R_1$, $R_2$, and $R_3$ are formed such that: $\bullet$ all four rectangles share a common vertex $P$, $\bullet$ for each $n = 1, 2, 3$, one side of $R_n$ is a diagonal of $R_{n-1}$, $\bullet$ for each $n = 1, 2, 3$, the opposite side of $R_n$ passes through a vertex of $R_{n-1}$ such that the center of $R_n$ is located counterclockwise of the center of $R_{n-1}$ with respect to $P$. Compute the total area covered by the union of the four rectangles. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/3/1/e9edd39e60e4a4defdb127b93b19ab0d0f443c.png[/img]

Two circles $C_1$ and $C_2$, with centres at $D$ and $E$ respectively, touch at $B$. The circle having $DE$ as diameter intersects the circle $C_1$ at $H$ and the circle $C_2$ at $K$. The points $H$ and $K$ both lie on the same side of the line $DE$. $HK$ extended in both directions meets the circle $C_1$ at $L$ and meets the circle $C_2$ at $M$. Prove that (a) $|LH| = |KM|$ (b) the line through $B$ perpendicular to $DE$ bisects $HK$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle, where $AB$ is the smallest side and let $D$ be the midpoint of $AB$. Let $P$ be a point in the interior of the triangle $ABC$ such that $\angle CAP = \angle CBP = \angle ACB$. From the point $P$, we draw perpendicular lines on $BC$ and $AC$ where the intersection point with $BC$ is $M$, and with $AC$ is $N$ . Through the point $M$ we draw a line parallel to $AC$, and through $N$ parallel to $BC$. These lines intercept at the point $K$. Prove that $D$ is the center of the circumscribed circle for the triangle $MNK$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Yang the Saltant Sanguivorous Shearling is on the side of a very steep mountain that is embedded in the coordinate plane. There is a blood river along the line $y=x$, which Yang may reach but is not permitted to go above (i.e. Yang is allowed to be located at $(2016,2015)$ and $(2016,2016)$, but not at $(2016,2017)$). Yang is currently located at $(0,0)$ and wishes to reach $(n,0)$. Yang is permitted only to make the following moves: (a) Yang may [i]spring[/i], which consists of going from a point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x,y+1)$. (b) Yang may [i]stroll[/i], which consists of going from a point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x+1,y)$. (c) Yang may [i]sink[/i], which consists of going from a point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x,y-1)$. In addition, whenever Yang does a [i]sink[/i], he breaks his tiny little legs and may no longer do a [i]spring[/i] at any time afterwards. Yang also expends a lot of energy doing a [i]spring[/i] and gets bloodthirsty, so he must visit the blood river at least once afterwards to quench his bloodthirst. (So Yang may still [i]spring[/i] while bloodthirsty, but he may not finish his journey while bloodthirsty.) Let there be $a_n$ different ways for which Yang can reach $(n,0)$, given that Yang is permitted to pass by $(n,0)$ in the middle of his journey. Find the $2016$th smallest positive integer $n$ for which $a_n\equiv 1\pmod 5$. [i]Proposed by James Lin[/i]

Let $p{}$ and $q{}$ be two coprime positive integers. A frog hops along the integer line so that on every hop it moves either $p{}$ units to the right or $q{}$ units to the left. Eventually, the frog returns to the initial point. Prove that for every positive integer $d{}$ with $d < p + q$ there are two numbers visited by the frog which differ just by $d{}$.

The alphabet of language $BAU$ consists of letters $B, A$, and $U$. Independently of the choice of the $BAU$ word of length n from which to start, one can construct all the $BAU$ words with length n using iteratively the following rules: (1) invert the order of the letters in the word; (2) replace two consecutive letters: $BA \to UU, AU \to BB, UB \to AA, UU \to BA, BB \to AU$ or $AA \to UB$. Given that $BBAUABAUUABAUUUABAUUUUABB$ is a $BAU$ word, does $BAU$ have a) the word $BUABUABUABUABAUBAUBAUBAUB$ ? b) the word $ABUABUABUABUAUBAUBAUBAUBA$ ?
