Pete has some trouble slicing a 20-inch (diameter) pizza. His first two cuts (from center to circumference of the pizza) make a 30º slice. He continues making cuts until he has gone around the whole pizza, each time trying to copy the angle of the previous slice but in fact adding 2º each time. That is, he makes adjacent slices of 30º, 32º, 34º, and so on. What is the area of the smallest slice?

Determine the smallest positive real number $ k$ with the following property. Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral, and let points $ A_1$, $ B_1$, $ C_1$, and $ D_1$ lie on sides $ AB$, $ BC$, $ CD$, and $ DA$, respectively. Consider the areas of triangles $ AA_1D_1$, $ BB_1A_1$, $ CC_1B_1$ and $ DD_1C_1$; let $ S$ be the sum of the two smallest ones, and let $ S_1$ be the area of quadrilateral $ A_1B_1C_1D_1$. Then we always have $ kS_1\ge S$. [i]Author: Zuming Feng and Oleg Golberg, USA[/i]

The following construction is used for training astronauts: A circle $C_2$ of radius $2R$ rolls along the inside of another, fixed circle $C_1$ of radius $nR$, where $n$ is an integer greater than $2$. The astronaut is fastened to a third circle $C_3$ of radius $R$ which rolls along the inside of circle $C_2$ in such a way that the touching point of the circles $C_2$ and $C_3$ remains at maximum distance from the touching point of the circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ at all times. How many revolutions (relative to the ground) does the astronaut perform together with the circle $C_3$ while the circle $C_2$ completes one full lap around the inside of circle $C_1$?

In a faraway place in the Universe, a villain has a medal with special powers and wants to hide it so that no one else can use it. For this, the villain hides it in a vertex of a regular polygon with $2019$ sides. Olcoman, the savior of the Olcomita people, wants to get the medal to restore peace in the Universe, for which you have to pay $1000$ olcolones for each time he makes the following move: on each turn he chooses a vertex of the polygon, which turns green if the medal is on it or in one of the four vertices closest to it, or otherwise red. Find the fewest olcolones Olcoman needs to determine with certainty the position of the medal.
