[b]p1.[/b] Find a real number $x$ for which $x\lfloor x \rfloor = 1234.$
Note: $\lfloor x\rfloor$ is the largest integer less than or equal to $x$.
[b]p2.[/b] Let $C_1$ be a circle of radius $1$, and $C_2$ be a circle that lies completely inside or on the boundary of $C_1$. Suppose$ P$ is a point that lies inside or on $C_2$. Suppose $O_1$, and $O_2$ are the centers of $C_1$, and $C_2$, respectively. What is the maximum possible area of $\vartriangle O_1O_2P$? Prove your answer.
[b]p3.[/b] The numbers $1, 2, . . . , 99$ are written on a blackboard. We are allowed to erase any two distinct (but perhaps equal) numbers and replace them by their nonnegative difference. This operation is performed until a single number $k$ remains on the blackboard. What are all the possible values of $k$? Prove your answer.
Note: As an example if we start from $1, 2, 3, 4$ on the board, we can proceed by erasing $1$ and $2$ and replacing them by $1$. At that point we are left with $1, 3, 4$. We may then erase $3$ and $4$ and replacethem by $1$. The last step would be to erase $1$, $1$ and end up with a single $0$ on the board.
[b]p4.[/b] Let $a, b$ be two real numbers so that $a^3 - 6a^2 + 13a = 1$ and $b^3 - 6b^2 + 13b = 19$. Find $a + b$. Prove your answer.
[b]p5.[/b] Let $m, n, k$ be three positive integers with $n \ge k$. Suppose $A =\prod_{1\le i\le j\le m} gcd(n + i, k + j) $ is the product of $gcd(n + i, k + j)$, where $i, j$ range over all integers satisfying $1\le i\le j\le m$. Prove that the following fraction is an integer $$\frac{A}{(k + 1) \dots(k + m)}{n \choose k}.$$
Note: $gcd(a, b)$ is the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$, and ${n \choose k}= \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}$

Lisa and Bart are playing a game. A round table has $n$ lights evenly spaced around its circumference. Some of the lights are on and some of them off; the initial configuration is random. Lisa wins if she can get all of the lights turned on; Bart wins if he can prevent this from happening.
On each turn, Lisa chooses the positions at which to flip the lights, but before the lights are flipped, Bart, knowing Lisa’s choices, can rotate the table to any position that he chooses (or he can leave the table as is). Then the lights in the positions that Lisa chose are flipped: those that are off are turned on and those that are on are turned off.
Here is an example turn for $n = 5$ (a white circle indicates a light that is on, and a black
circle indicates a light that is off):
[asy]
size(250); defaultpen(linewidth(1)); picture p = new picture;
real r = 0.2; pair s1=(0,-4), s2=(0,-8); int[][] filled = {{1,2,3},{1,2,5},{2,3,4,5}};
draw(p,circle((0,0),1));
for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
pair P = dir(90-72*i); filldraw(p,circle(P,r),white); label(p,string(i+1),P,2*P,fontsize(10));
}
add(p); add(shift(s1)*p); add(shift(s2)*p);
for(int j = 0; j < 3; ++j)
for(int i = 0; i < filled[j].length; ++i)
filldraw(circle(dir(90-72*(filled[j][i]-1))+j*s1,r));
label("$\parbox{15em}{Initial Position.}$", (-4.5,0));
label("$\parbox{15em}{Lisa says ``1,3,4.'' \\ Bart rotates the table one \\ position counterclockwise. }$", (-4.5,0)+s1);
label("$\parbox{15em}{Lights in positions 1,3,4 are \\ flipped.}$", (-4.5,0)+s2);[/asy]
Lisa can take as many turns as she needs to win, or she can give up if it becomes clear
to her that Bart can prevent her from winning.
(a) Show that if $n = 7$ and initially at least one light is on and at least one light is off,
then Bart can always prevent Lisa from winning.
(b) Show that if $n = 8$, then Lisa can always win in at most 8 turns.

[b]U[/b]ndecillion years ago in a galaxy far, far away, there were four space stations in the three-dimensional space, each pair spaced 1 light year away from each other. Admiral Ackbar wanted to establish a base somewhere in space such that the sum of squares of the distances from the base to each of the stations does not exceed 15 square light years. (The sizes of the space stations and the base are negligible.) Determine the volume, in cubic light years, of the set of all possible locations for the Admiral’s base.
