Let $A,B,P$ positive reals with $P\le A+B$. (a) Choose reals $\theta_1,\theta_2$ with $A\cos\theta_1 + B\cos\theta_2=P$ and prove that \[ A\sin\theta_1 + B\sin\theta_2 \le \sqrt{(A+B-P)(A+B+P)} \] (b) Prove equality is attained when $\theta_1=\theta_2=\arccos\left(\dfrac{P}{A+B}\right)$. (c) Take $A=\dfrac{1}{2}xy, B=\dfrac{1}{2}wz$ and $P=\dfrac14 \left(x^2+y^2-z^2-w^2\right)$ with $0<x\le y\le x+z+w$, $z,w>0$ and $z^2+w^2<x^2+y^2$. Show that we can translate (a) and (b) into the following theorem: from all quadrilaterals with (ordered) sidelenghts $(x,y,z,w)$, the cyclical one has the greatest area.

Sabine rolls a fair $14$-sided die numbered $1$ to $14$ and gets a value of $x$. She then draws $x$ cards uniformly at random (without replacement) from a deck of $14$ cards, each of which labeled a different integer from $1$ to $14$. She finally sums up the value of her die roll and the value on each card she drew to get a score of $S$. Let $A$ be the set of all obtainable scores. Compute the probability that $S$ is greater than or equal to the median of $A$.

The numbers $1, 2,\ldots ,50$ are written on a blackboard. Ana performs the following operations: she chooses any three numbers $a, b$ and $c$ from the board and replaces them with their sum $a + b + c$ and writes the number $(a + b) (b + c) (c + a)$ in the notebook. Ana performs these operations until there are only two numbers left on the board ($24$ operations in total). Then, she calculates the sum of the numbers written down in her notebook. Let $M$ and $m$ be the maximum and minimum possible of the sums obtained by Ana. Find the value of $\frac{M}{m}$.
