Draw points $C, D, E, F, G$ in its plane so that $$\vartriangle OAB \sim \vartriangle OBC \sim \vartriangle OCD \sim \vartriangle ODE \sim \vartriangle OEF \sim \vartriangle OFG,$$ and none of these triangles overlap. If points $O, A, G$ lie on the same line, then let $x$ be the sum of all possible values of $\frac{OG}{OA }$. Then, $x$ can be expressed in the form $m/n$ for relatively prime positive integers $m, n$. Compute $m + n$. [b]p18.[/b] Let $f(x)$ denote the least integer greater than or equal to $x^{\sqrt{x}}$. Compute $f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+f(4)$. [u]Set 7[/u] The Fibonacci sequence $\{F_n\}$ is defined as $F_0 = 0$, $F_1 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1} + F_n$ for all integers $n \ge 0$.

Find the greatest integer less than or equal to $\frac{1}{Q}$. [u]Set 8[/u] [b]p22.[/b] In five dimensional hyperspace, consider a hypercube $C_0$ of side length $2$. Around it, circumscribe a hypersphere $S_0$, so all $32$ vertices of $C_0$ are on the surface of $S_0$. Around $S_0$, circumscribe a hypercube $C_1$, so that $S_0$ is tangent to all hyperfaces of $C_1$. Continue in this same fashion for $S_1$, $C_2$, $S_2$, and so on. Find the side length of $C_4$. [b]p23.[/b] Suppose $\vartriangle ABC$ satisfies $AC = 10\sqrt2$, $BC = 15$, $\angle C = 45^o$.

[b]p26.[/b] Given a $50 \times 50$ grid of squares, initially all white, define an operation as picking a square and coloring it and the four squares horizontally or vertically adjacent to it blue, if they exist. If a square is already colored blue, it will remain blue if colored again. What is the minimum number of operations necessary to color the entire grid blue? If $n$ is the correct answer, an estimate of $e$ gives $\left\lfloor \frac{180}{5|n-e|+6}\right\rfloor$ points. [b]p27.[/b] The sphere packing problem asks what percent of space can be filled with equally sized spheres without overlap. In three dimensions, the answer is $\frac{\pi}{3\sqrt2} \approx 74.05\%$ of space (confirmed as recently as $2017!$), so we say that the packing density of spheres in three dimensions is about $0.74$. In fact, mathematicians have found optimal packing densities for certain other dimensions as well, one being eight-dimensional space. Let d be the packing density of eight-dimensional hyperspheres in eightdimensional hyperspace. Compute the greatest integer less than $10^8 \times d$. If $n$ is the correct answer, an estimate of e gives $\max \left\{ \lfloor 30-10^{-5}|n - e|\rfloor, 0 \right\}$ points. PS. You had better use hide for answers.
