We consider a fixed point $P$ in the interior of a fixed sphere$.$ We construct three segments $PA, PB,PC$, perpendicular two by two$,$ with the vertexes $A, B, C$ on the sphere$.$ We consider the vertex $Q$ which is opposite to $P$ in the parallelepiped (with right angles) with $PA, PB, PC$ as edges$.$ Find the locus of the point $Q$ when $A, B, C$ take all the positions compatible with our problem.

Consider $n \ge 2$ pairwise disjoint disks $D_1,D_2,\ldots,D_n$ on the Euclidean plane. For each $k=1,2,\ldots,n$, denote by $f_k$ the inversion with respect to the boundary circle of $D_k$. (Here, $f_k$ is defined at every point of the plane, except for the center of $D_k$.) How many fixed points can the transformation $f_n\circ f_{n-1}\circ\ldots\circ f_1$ have, if it is defined on the largest possible subset of the plane?

[b]p1.[/b] Four witches are riding their brooms around a circle with circumference $10$ m. They are standing at the same spot, and then they all start to ride clockwise with the speed of $1$, $2$, $3$, and $4$ m/s, respectively. Assume that they stop at the time when every pair of witches has met for at least two times (the first position before they start counts as one time). What is the total distance all the four witches have travelled? [b]p2.[/b] Suppose $A$ is an equilateral triangle, $O$ is its inscribed circle, and $B$ is another equilateral triangle inscribed in $O$. Denote the area of triangle $T$ as $[T]$. Evaluate $\frac{[A]}{[B]}$. [b]p3. [/b]Tim has bought a lot of candies for Halloween, but unfortunately, he forgot the exact number of candies he has. He only remembers that it's an even number less than $2020$. As Tim tries to put the candies into his unlimited supply of boxes, he finds that there will be $1$ candy left if he puts seven in each box, $6$ left if he puts eleven in each box, and $3$ left if he puts thirteen in each box. Given the above information, find the total number of candies Tim has bought.

[b]p7.[/b] Charlie is watching a spider in the center of a hexagonal web of side length $4$. The web also consists of threads that form equilateral triangles of side length $1$ that perfectly tile the hexagon. Each minute, the spider moves unit distance along one thread. If $\frac{m}{n}$ is the probability, in lowest terms, that after four minutes the spider is either at the edge of her web or in the center, find the value of $m + n$. [b]p8.[/b] Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 10$; $AC = 12$, and $\omega$ its circumcircle. Let $F$ and $G$ be points on $\overline{AC}$ such that $AF = 2$, $FG = 6$, and $GC = 4$, and let $\overrightarrow{BF}$ and $\overrightarrow{BG}$ intersect $\omega$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively. Given that $AC$ and $DE$ are parallel, what is the square of the length of $BC$? [b]p9.[/b] Two blue devils and $4$ angels go trick-or-treating. They randomly split up into $3$ non-empty groups. Let $p$ be the probability that in at least one of these groups, the number of angels is nonzero and no more than the number of devils in that group. If $p = \frac{m}{n}$ in lowest terms, compute $m + n$.

Alice is standing on the circumference of a large circular room of radius $10$. There is a circular pillar in the center of the room of radius $5$ that blocks Alice’s view. The total area in the room Alice can see can be expressed in the form $\frac{m\pi}{n} +p\sqrt{q}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $p$ and $q$ are integers such that $q$ is square-free. Compute $m + n + p + q$. (Note that the pillar is not included in the total area of the room.)

A path from $ (0,0)$ to $ (n,n)$ on the lattice is made up of unit moves upward or rightward. It is balanced if the sum of the x-coordinates of its $ 2n\plus{}1$ vertices equals the sum of their y-coordinates. Show that a balanced path divides the square with vertices $ (0,0)$, $ (n,0)$, $ (n,n)$, $ (0,n)$ into two parts with equal area.

Assume the earth is a perfect sphere with a circumference of $60$ units. A great circle is a circle on a sphere whose center is also the center of the sphere. There are three train tracks on three great circles of the earth. One is along the equator and the other two pass through the poles, intersecting at a $90$ degree angle. If each track has a train of length $L$ traveling at the same speed, what is the maximum value of $L$ such that the trains can travel without crashing?
