On the AMC 12, each correct answer is worth $ 6$ points, each incorrect answer is worth $ 0$ points, and each problem left unanswered is worth $ 2.5$ points. If Charlyn leaves $ 8$ of the $ 25$ problems unanswered, how many of the remaining problems must she answer correctly in order to score at least $ 100$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 11 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 13 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 14 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 16 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 17$

The triangle $ \triangle SFA$ has a right angle at $ F$. The points $ P$ and $ Q$ lie on the line $ SF$ such that the point $ P$ lies between $ S$ and $ F$ and the point $ F$ is the midpoint of the segment $ [PQ]$. The circle $ k_1$ is th incircle of the triangle $ \triangle SPA$. The circle $ k_2$ lies outside the triangle $ \triangle SQA$ and touches the segment $ [QA]$ and the lines $ SQ$ and $ SA$. Prove that the sum of the radii of the circles $ k_1$ and $ k_2$ equals the length of $ [FA]$.

Let $n$ be an even positive integer. Show that there is a permutation $\left(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n}\right)$ of $\left(1,\,2,\,\ldots,n\right)$ such that for every $i\in\left\{1,\ 2,\ ...,\ n\right\}$, the number $x_{i+1}$ is one of the numbers $2x_{i}$, $2x_{i}-1$, $2x_{i}-n$, $2x_{i}-n-1$. Hereby, we use the cyclic subscript convention, so that $x_{n+1}$ means $x_{1}$.

Two such points $(x, y, z)$ and $(u, v,w)$ are called [i]neighbors[/i] if $|x - u| + |y - v| + |z - w| = 1$. Show that there exists a subset $S$ of $T$ such that for each $p \in T$ , there is exactly one point of $S$ among $p$ and its [i]neighbors[/i].

The $27$ points $(a,b,c)$ of the space are marked such that $a$, $b$ and $c$ take the values $0$, $1$ or $2$. We will call these points "junctures". Using $54$ rods of length $1$, all the joints that are at a distance of $1$ are joined together. A cubic structure of $2\times 2\times 2$ is thus formed. An ant starts from a juncture $A$ and moves along the rods; When it reaches a juncture it turns $90^\circ$ and changes rod. If the ant returns to $A$ and has not visited any juncture more than once except $A$, which it visited $2$ times, at the beginning of the walk and at the end of it, what is the greatest length that the path of the ant can have?
