Triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $C$, $AC = 3$ and $BC = 4$. Triangle $ABD$ has a right angle at $A$ and $AD = 12$. Points $C$ and $D$ are on opposite sides of $\overline{AB}$. The line through $D$ parallel to $\overline{AC}$ meets $\overline{CB}$ extended at $E$. If $\frac{DE}{DB} = \frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, then $m + n = $ [asy] size(170); defaultpen(fontsize(10pt)+linewidth(.8pt)); pair C=origin, A=(0,3), B=(4,0), D=(7.2,12.6), E=(7.2,0); draw(A--C--B--A--D--B--E--D); label("$A$",A,W); label("$B$",B,S); label("$C$",C,SW); label("$D$",D,NE); label("$E$",E,SE); [/asy] $ \textbf{(A)}\ 25\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 128\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 153\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 243\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 256 $

2003 Tournament Of Towns, 5

Two players in turn play a game. First Player has cards with numbers $2, 4, \ldots, 2000$ while Second Player has cards with numbers $1, 3, \ldots, 2001$. In each his turn, a player chooses one of his cards and puts it on a table; the opponent sees it and puts his card next to the first one. Player, who put the card with a larger number, scores 1 point. Then both cards are discarded. First Player starts. After $1000$ turns the game is over; First Player has used all his cards and Second Player used all but one. What are the maximal scores, that players could guarantee for themselves, no matter how the opponent would play?

Anis, Banu, and Cholis are going to play a game. They are given an $n\times n$ board consisting of $n^2$ unit squares, where $n$ is an integer and $n > 5$. In the beginning of the game, the number $n$ is written on each unit square. Then Anis, Banu, and Cholis take turns playing the game, repeatedly in that order, according to the following procedure: On every turn, an arrangement of $n$ squares on the same row or column is chosen, and every number from the chosen squares is subtracted by $1$. The turn cannot be done if it results in a negative number, that is, no arrangement of $n$ unit squares on the same column or row in which all of its unit squares contain a positive number can be found. The last person to get a turn wins. Determine which player will win the game.

Divide a circle into $2n$ equal sections. We call a circle [i]filled[/i] if it is filled with the numbers $0,1,2,\dots,n-1$. We call a filled circle [i] good[/i] if it has the following properties: $i$. Each number $0 \leq a \leq n-1$ is used exactly twice $ii$. For any $a$ we have that there are exactly $a$ sections between the two sections that have the number $a$ in them. Here is an example of a good filling for $n=5$ (View attachment) Prove that there doesn’t exist a good filling for $n=1399$
