Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle with orthocenter $H$ and circumcenter $O$. Let $P$ be the midpoint of $\overline{AH}$ and let $T$ be on line $BC$ with $\angle TAO=90^{\circ}$. Let $X$ be the foot of the altitude from $O$ onto line $PT$.

Sandy likes to eat waffles for breakfast. To make them, she centers a circle of wafflebatter of radius $3$ cm at the origin of the coordinate plane and her waffle iron imprints non-overlapping unit-square holes centered at each lattice point. How many of these holes are contained entirely within the area of the waffle?

Is it possible to disassemble and reassemble a $4\times 4\times 4$ Rubik's Cuble in at least $577,800$ non-equivalent ways? Notes: 1. When we reassemble the cube, a corner cube has to go to a corner cube, an edge cube must go to an edge cube and a central cube must go to a central cube. 2. Two positions of the cube are called equivalent if they can be obtained from one two another by rotating the faces or layers which are parallel to the faces.

Consider a right cylinder with height $5\sqrt3$. A plane intersects each of the bases of the cylinder at exactly one point, and the cylindric section (the intersection of the plane and the cylinder) forms an ellipse. Find the product of the sum and the dierence of the lengths of the major and minor axes of this ellipse. [i]Note:[/i] An ellipse is a regular oval shape resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane which does not intersect the base. The major axis is the longer diameter and the minor axis the shorter.

In a circle of radius 42, two chords of length 78 intersect at a point whose distance from the center is 18. The two chords divide the interior of the circle into four regions. Two of these regions are bordered by segments of unequal lenghts, and the area of either of them can be expressed uniquley in the form $m\pi-n\sqrt{d},$ where $m, n,$ and $d$ are positive integers and $d$ is not divisible by the square of any prime number. Find $m+n+d.$

Matías has a rectangular sheet of paper $ABCD$, with $AB<AD$.Initially, he folds the sheet along a straight line $AE$, where $E$ is a point on the side $DC$ , so that vertex $D$ is located on side $BC$, as shown in the figure. Then folds the sheet again along a straight line $AF$, where $F$ is a point on side $BC$, so that vertex $B$ lies on the line $AE$; and finally folds the sheet along the line $EF$. Matías observed that the vertices $B$ and $C$ were located on the same point of segment $AE$ after making the folds. Calculate the measure of the angle $\angle DAE$.
