Two distinct circles $K_1$ and $K_2$ are drawn in the plane. They intersect at points $A$ and $B$, where $AB$ is the diameter of $K_1$. A point $P$ on $K_2$ and inside $K_1$ is also given. Using only a "T-square" (i.e. an instrument which can produce a straight line joining two points and the perpendicular to a line through a point on or off the line), find a construction for two points $C$ and $D$ on $K_1$ such that $CD$ is perpendicular to $AB$ and $\angle CPD$ is a right angle.

At the beginning, there are $9$ books in his bookshelf, ordered in the following way. $A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I$ He is holding the tenth book, $J$, in his hand. He takes the books out one-by-one, replacing each with the book currently in his hand. For example, he could take out $A$, put $J$ in its place, then take out $D$, put $A$ in its place, etc. He never takes the same book out twice, and stops once he has taken out the tenth book, which is $G$. At the end, he is holding G in his hand, and his bookshelf looks like this. $C - I - H - J - F - B - E - D - A$ Give the order (start to finish) in which Carl took out the books, expressed as a $9$-letter string (word).

Two logs of length 10 are laying on the ground touching each other. Their radii are 3 and 1, and the smaller log is fastened to the ground. The bigger log rolls over the smaller log without slipping, and stops as soon as it touches the ground again. The volume of the set of points swept out by the larger log as it rolls over the smaller one can be expressed as $n \pi$, where $n$ is an integer. Find $n$.

Jeffrey stands on a straight horizontal bridge that measures $20000$ meters across. He wishes to place a pole vertically at the center of the bridge so that the sum of the distances from the top of the pole to the two ends of the bridge is $20001$ meters. To the nearest meter, how long of a pole does Jeffrey need?

Two not necessarily equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. An in finite angle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the angle, while the colored sides of the angle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that it is possible to draw a ray in the angle, starting from the vertex of the angle and such that no matter how the angle is positioned, the ray passes through some fixed point of the plane.

Given two (identical) polygonal domains in the Euclidean plane, it is not possible in general to superpose the two using only translations and rotations. Prove that this can however be achieved by splitting one of the domains into a finite number of polygonal subdomains which then fit together, via translations and rotations in the plane, to recover the other domain.
