Aurick has a cup, a right cone with a circular base of radius $\frac12$, filled with milk tea. The slant height of the cup is $1$, and the tea fills the cup $\frac12$ of the way up the cup’s side. Suppose that Aurick tips the cup just to the point of spilling, as shown in the diagram. The new slant height EA and the tilted tea surface’s major axis $ET$ form $\angle T EA$. Compute $\cos(\angle T EA)$.

[b]p25.[/b] Maisy the Bear is at the origin of the Cartesian Plane. WhenMaisy is on the point $(m,n)$ then it can jump to either $(m,n +1)$ or $(m+1,n)$.

[b]p2.[/b] Last August, Jennifer McLoud-Mann, along with her husband Casey Mann and an undergraduate David Von Derau at the University of Washington, Bothell, discovered a new tiling pattern of the plane with a pentagon. This is the fifteenth pattern of using a pentagon to cover the plane with no gaps or overlaps. It is unknown whether other pentagons tile the plane, or even if the number of patterns is finite. Below is a portion of this new tiling pattern.

[b]p4.[/b] Alice has a whiteboard and a blackboard. The whiteboard has two positive integers on it, and the blackboard is initially blank. Alice repeats the following process.
$\bullet$ Let the numbers on the whiteboard be $a$ and $b$, with $a \le b$.
$\bullet$ Write $a^2$ on the blackboard.
$\bullet$ Erase $b$ from the whiteboard and replace it with $b - a$.
For example, if the whiteboard began with 5 and 8, Alice first writes $25$ on the blackboard and changes the whiteboard to $5$ and $3$. Her next move is to write $9$ on the blackboard and change the whiteboard to $2$ and $3$.
Alice stops when one of the numbers on the whiteboard is 0. At this point the sum of the numbers on the blackboard is $2015$.

b. What are all possible starting pairs of numbers?
[b]p5.[/b] Professor Beatrix Quirky has many multi-volume sets of books on her shelves. When she places a numbered set of $n$ books on her shelves, she doesn’t necessarily place them in order with book $1$ on the left and book $n$ on the right. Any volume can be placed at the far left. The only rule is that, except the leftmost volume, each volume must have a volume somewhere to its left numbered either one more or one less. For example, with a series of six volumes, Professor Quirky could place them in the order $123456$, or $324561$, or $564321$, but not $321564$ (because neither $4$ nor $6$ is to the left of $5$).
Let’s call a sequence of numbers a [i]quirky [/i] sequence of length $n$ if:
1. the sequence contains each of the numbers from $1$ to $n$, once each, and
2. if $k$ is not the first term of the sequence, then either $k + 1$ or $k - 1$ occurs somewhere before $k$ in the sequence.
Let $q_n$ be the number of quirky sequences of length $n$. For example, $q_3 = 4$ since the quirky sequences of length $3$ are $123$, $213$, $231$, and $321$.
a. List all quirky sequences of length $4$.
b. Find an explicit formula for $q_n$. Prove that your formula is correct.

In a right circular cone, $A$ is the vertex, $B$ is the center of the base, and $C$ is a point on the circumference of the base with $BC = 1$ and $AB = 4$. There is a trapezoid $ABCD$ with $\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{CD}$. A right circular cylinder whose surface contains the points $A, C$, and $D$ intersects the cone such that its axis of symmetry is perpendicular to the plane of the trapezoid, and $\overline{CD}$ is a diameter of the cylinder. A sphere radius $r$ lies inside the cone and inside the cylinder. The greatest possible value of $r$ is $\frac{a\sqrt{b}-c}{d}$ , where $a, b, c$, and $d$ are positive integers, $a$ and $d$ are relatively prime, and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a + b + c + d$.

A hunter and an invisible rabbit play a game in the Euclidean plane. The rabbit's starting point, $A_0,$ and the hunter's starting point, $B_0$ are the same. After $n-1$ rounds of the game, the rabbit is at point $A_{n-1}$ and the hunter is at point $B_{n-1}.$ In the $n^{\text{th}}$ round of the game, three things occur in order:
[list=i]
[*]The rabbit moves invisibly to a point $A_n$ such that the distance between $A_{n-1}$ and $A_n$ is exactly $1.$
[*]A tracking device reports a point $P_n$ to the hunter. The only guarantee provided by the tracking device to the hunter is that the distance between $P_n$ and $A_n$ is at most $1.$
[*]The hunter moves visibly to a point $B_n$ such that the distance between $B_{n-1}$ and $B_n$ is exactly $1.$
[/list]
Is it always possible, no matter how the rabbit moves, and no matter what points are reported by the tracking device, for the hunter to choose her moves so that after $10^9$ rounds, she can ensure that the distance between her and the rabbit is at most $100?$
