Let A be a regular $12$-sided polygon. A new $12$-gon B is constructed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of A. The ratio of the area of B to the area of A can be written in simplest form as $(a +\sqrt{b})/c$, where $a, b, c$ are integers. Find $a + b + c$.

Let $p$ be a prime. We arrange the numbers in ${\{1,2,\ldots ,p^2} \}$ as a $p \times p$ matrix $A = ( a_{ij} )$. Next we can select any row or column and add $1$ to every number in it, or subtract $1$ from every number in it. We call the arrangement [i]good[/i] if we can change every number of the matrix to $0$ in a finite number of such moves. How many good arrangements are there?

In triangle $ABC$, let $O$ be the circumcenter. The incircle of $ABC$ is tangent to $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{CA},$ and $\overline{AB}$ at points $D, E$, and $F$, respectively. Let $G$ be the centroid of triangle $DEF$. Suppose the inradius and circumradius of $ABC$ is $3$ and $8$, respectively. Over all such triangles $ABC$, pick one that maximizes the area of triangle $AGO$. If we write $AG^2 =\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, then find $m$.

Let $A$ be a point in the plane, and $\ell$ a line not passing through $A$. Evan does not have a straightedge, but instead has a special compass which has the ability to draw a circle through three distinct noncollinear points. (The center of the circle is [i]not[/i] marked in this process.) Additionally, Evan can mark the intersections between two objects drawn, and can mark an arbitrary point on a given object or on the plane. (i) Can Evan construct* the reflection of $A$ over $\ell$? (ii) Can Evan construct the foot of the altitude from $A$ to $\ell$? *To construct a point, Evan must have an algorithm which marks the point in finitely many steps. [i]Proposed by Zack Chroman[/i]

Mummy-trolley huts are located on a straight line at points with coordinates $x_1, x_2,...., x_n$. In this village are going to build $3$ stores $A, B$ and $C$, of which will be brought every day to all Moomin-trolls chocolates, bread and water. For the delivery of chocolate, the store takes the distance from the store to the hut, raised to the square; for bread delivery , take the distance from the store to the hut; for water delivery take distance $1$, if the distance is greater than $1$ km, but do not take anything otherwise. a) Where to build each of the stores so that the total cost of all Moomin-trolls for delivery wasthe smallest? b) Where to place the TV tower, if the fee for each Moomin-troll is the maximum distance from the TV tower to the farthest hut from it? c) How will the answer change if the Moomin-troll huts are not located in a straight line, and on the plane?
