In a rectangular coordinate system we call a horizontal line parallel to the $x$ -axis triangular if it intersects the curve with equation \[y = x^4 + px^3 + qx^2 + rx + s\] in the points $A,B,C$ and $D$ (from left to right) such that the segments $AB, AC$ and $AD$ are the sides of a triangle. Prove that the lines parallel to the $x$ - axis intersecting the curve in four distinct points are all triangular or none of them is triangular.

2022 LMT Fall, 1 Tetris

Tetris is a Soviet block game developed in $1984$, probably to torture misbehaving middle school children. Nowadays, Tetris is a game that people play for fun, and we even have a mini-event featuring it, but it shall be used on this test for its original purpose. The $7$ Tetris pieces, which will be used in various problems in this theme, are as follows: [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/b/c/f4a5a2b90fcf87968b8f2a1a848ad32ef52010.png[/img] [b]p1.[/b] Each piece has area $4$. Find the sum of the perimeters of each of the $7$ Tetris pieces. [b]p2.[/b] In a game of Tetris, Qinghan places $4$ pieces every second during the first $2$ minutes, and $2$ pieces every second for the remainder of the game. By the end of the game, her average speed is $3.6$ pieces per second. Find the duration of the game in seconds. [b]p3.[/b] Jeff takes all $7$ different Tetris pieces and puts them next to each other to make a shape. Each piece has an area of $4$. Find the least possible perimeter of such a shape. [b]p4.[/b] Qepsi is playing Tetris, but little does she know: the latest update has added realistic physics! She places two blocks, which form the shape below. Tetrominoes $ABCD$ and $EFGHI J$ are both formed from $4$ squares of side length $1$. Given that $CE = CF$, the distance from point $I$ to the line $AD$ can be expressed as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}-C}{D}$ .
