Let's take a $ABCD$ rectangle of paper; the side $AB$ measures $5$ cm and the side $BC$ measures $9$ cm.
We do three folds:
1.We take the $AB$ side on the $BC$ side and call $P$ the point on the $BC$ side that coincides with $A$.
A right trapezoid $BCDQ$ is then formed.
2. We fold so that $B$ and $Q$ coincide. A $5$-sided polygon $RPCDQ$ is formed.
3. We fold again by matching $D$ with $C$ and $Q$ with $P$. A new right trapezoid $RPCS$.
After making these folds, we make a cut perpendicular to $SC$ by its midpoint $T$, obtaining the right trapezoid $RUTS$.
Calculate the area of the figure that appears as we unfold the last trapezoid $RUTS$.

King William is located at $(1, 1)$ on the coordinate plane. Every day, he chooses one of the eight lattice points closest to him and moves to one of them with equal probability. When he exits the region bounded by the $x, y$ axes and $x+y = 4$, he stops moving and remains there forever. Given that after an arbitrarily large amount of time he must exit the region, the probability he ends up on $x+y = 4$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Let $n\geqslant 2$ be a positive integer. Paul has a $1\times n^2$ rectangular strip consisting of $n^2$ unit squares, where the $i^{\text{th}}$ square is labelled with $i$ for all $1\leqslant i\leqslant n^2$. He wishes to cut the strip into several pieces, where each piece consists of a number of consecutive unit squares, and then [i]translate[/i] (without rotating or flipping) the pieces to obtain an $n\times n$ square satisfying the following property: if the unit square in the $i^{\text{th}}$ row and $j^{\text{th}}$ column is labelled with $a_{ij}$, then $a_{ij}-(i+j-1)$ is divisible by $n$.
Determine the smallest number of pieces Paul needs to make in order to accomplish this.

In a mathematics test number of participants is $N < 40$. The passmark is fixed at $65$. The test results are
the following:
The average of all participants is $66$, that of the promoted $71$ and that of the repeaters $56$.
However, due to an error in the wording of a question, all scores are increased by $5$. At this point
the average of the promoted participants becomes $75$ and that of the non-promoted $59$.
(a) Find all possible values of $N$.
(b) Find all possible values of $N$ in the case where, after the increase, the average of the promoted had become $79$ and that of non-promoted $47$.

Determine the largest integer $N$ for which there exists a table $T$ of integers with $N$ rows and $100$ columns that has the following properties:
$\text{(i)}$ Every row contains the numbers $1$, $2$, $\ldots$, $100$ in some order.
$\text{(ii)}$ For any two distinct rows $r$ and $s$, there is a column $c$ such that $|T(r,c) - T(s, c)|\geq 2$. (Here $T(r,c)$ is the entry in row $r$ and column $c$.)

Isabella must take four 100-point tests in her math class. Her goal is to achieve an average grade of 95 on the tests. Her first two test scores were 97 and 91. After seeing her score on the third test, she realized she can still reach her goal. What is the lowest possible score she could have made on the third test?

Two circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ with radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ touch each outside at point $Q$. The other endpoints of the diameters through $Q$ are $P$ on $k_1$ and $R$ on $k_2$.
We choose two points $A$ and $B$, one on each of the arcs $PQ$ of $k_1$. ($PBQA$ is a convex quadrangle.)
Further, let $C$ be the second point of intersection of the line $AQ$ with $k_2$ and let $D$ be the second point of intersection of the line $BQ$ with $k_2$.
The lines $PB$ and $RC$ intersect in $U$ and the lines $PA$ and $RD$ intersect in $V$ .
Show that there is a point $Z$ that lies on all of these lines $UV$.
