Given a convex, $n$-sided polygon $P$, form a $2n$-sided polygon $\text{clip}(P)$ by cutting off each corner of $P$ at the edges' trisection points. In other words, $\text{clip}(P)$ is the polygon whose vertices are the $2n$ edge trisection points of $P$, connected in order around the boundary of $P$. Let $P_1$ be an isosceles trapezoid with side lengths $13,13,13,$ and $3$, and for each $i\geq 2$, let $P_i=\text{clip}(P_{i-1}).$ This iterative clipping process approaches a limiting shape $P_\infty=\lim_{i\to\infty}P_i$. If the difference of the areas of $P_{10}$ and $P_\infty$ is written as a fraction $\tfrac xy$ in lowest terms, calculate the number of positive integer factors of $x\cdot y$.

A circular disk is partitioned into $ 2n$ equal sectors by $ n$ straight lines through its center. Then, these $ 2n$ sectors are colored in such a way that exactly $ n$ of the sectors are colored in blue, and the other $ n$ sectors are colored in red. We number the red sectors with numbers from $ 1$ to $ n$ in counter-clockwise direction (starting at some of these red sectors), and then we number the blue sectors with numbers from $ 1$ to $ n$ in clockwise direction (starting at some of these blue sectors). Prove that one can find a half-disk which contains sectors numbered with all the numbers from $ 1$ to $ n$ (in some order). (In other words, prove that one can find $ n$ consecutive sectors which are numbered by all numbers $ 1$, $ 2$, ..., $ n$ in some order.)

A spherical shell of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is completely filled with a frictionless fluid, also of mass M. It is released from rest, and then it rolls without slipping down an incline that makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. What will be the acceleration of the shell down the incline just after it is released? Assume the acceleration of free fall is $g$. The moment of inertia of a thin shell of radius $r$ and mass $m$ about the center of mass is $I = \frac{2}{3}mr^2$; the momentof inertia of a solid sphere of radius r and mass m about the center of mass is $I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2$. $\textbf{(A) } g \sin \theta \\ \textbf{(B) } \frac{3}{4} g \sin \theta\\ \textbf{(C) } \frac{1}{2} g \sin \theta\\ \textbf{(D) } \frac{3}{8} g \sin \theta\\ \textbf{(E) } \frac{3}{5} g \sin \theta$

Suppose $ABCDEF$ is a cyclic hexagon such that $l(A, BDF), l(B, ACE), l(D, ABF), l(E, ABC)$ intersect at a single point. Prove that $CDEF$ is a rectangle. [color=blue]Should the first sentence read: Suppose $l(M, XYZ)$ is a Simson line of the triangle $XYZ$ [u]with respect to[/u] $M$. ? Since it appears weird that a Simson line that passes a point is to be constructed. However, this is Unsolved after all, so I'm not sure.[/color]

[b]Q[/b]. $ABC$ is an acute - angled triangle with $\odot(ABC)$ and $\Omega$ as the circumcircle and incircle respectively. Let $D, E, F$ to be the respective intouch points on $\overline{BC}, \overline{CA}$ and $\overline{AB}$. Circle $\gamma_A$ is drawn internally tangent to sides $\overline{AC}, \overline{AB}$ and $\odot(ABC)$ at $X, Y$ and $Z$ respectively. Another circle $(\omega)$ is constructed tangent to $\overline{BC}$ at $\mathcal{T}_1$ and internally tangent to $\odot(ABC)$ at $\mathcal{T}_2$. A tangent is drawn from $A$ such that it touches $\omega$ at $W$ and meets $BC$ at $V$, with $V$ lying inside $\odot(ABC)$. Now if $\overline{EF}$ meets $\odot(BC)$ at $\mathcal{X}_1$ and $\mathcal{X}_2$, opposite to vertex $B$ and $C$ respectively, where $\odot(BC)$ denotes the circle with $BC$ as diameter, prove that the set of lines $\{\overline{B\mathcal{X}_1}, \overline{ZS}, \overline{C\mathcal{X}_2}, \overline{DU}, \overline{YX}, \overline{\mathcal{T}_1W} \}$ are concurrent where $S$ is the mid-point of $\widehat{BC}$ containing $A$ and $U$ is the anti-pode of $D$ with respect to $\Omega$. If the line joining that concurrency point and $A$ meets $\odot(ABC)$ at $N\not = A$ prove that $\overline{AD}, \overline{ZN}$ and $\gamma_A$ pass through a common point.
