Five spheres of radius $r$ are inside a right circular cone. Four of the spheres lie on the base of the cone. Each touches two of the others and the sloping sides of the cone. The fifth sphere touches each of the other four and also the sloping sides of the cone. Find the volume of the cone.

A positive integer $a$ is said to [i]reduce[/i] to a positive integer $b$ if when dividing $a$ by its units digits the result is $b$. For example, 2015 reduces to $\frac{2015}{5} = 403$. Find all the positive integers that become 1 after some amount of reductions. For example, 12 is one such number because 12 reduces to 6 and 6 reduces to 1.

Given is a natural number $n > 5$. On a circular strip of paper is written a sequence of zeros and ones. For each sequence $w$ of $n$ zeros and ones we count the number of ways to cut out a fragment from the strip on which is written $w$. It turned out that the largest number $M$ is achieved for the sequence $11 00...0$ ($n-2$ zeros) and the smallest - for the sequence $00...011$ ($n-2$ zeros). Prove that there is another sequence of $n$ zeros and ones that occurs exactly $M$ times.

A binary operation $\diamondsuit$ has the properties that $a\,\diamondsuit\, (b\,\diamondsuit \,c) = (a\,\diamondsuit \,b)\cdot c$ and that $a\,\diamondsuit \,a=1$ for all nonzero real numbers $a, b,$ and $c$. (Here $\cdot$ represents multiplication).

Alex, Bill, and Charlie want to play a game of DotA. They each come online at a uniformly random time between $8:00$ and $8:05\text{ }\text{PM}$, and each person queues for $2$ minutes. However, if any of them sees any other of them online while queuing, they merge parties and restart the queue, again waiting for $2$ minutes starting from the merger time. For example, suppose that Alex logs in at $8:00\text{ PM}$, Bill logs in at $8:01\text{ PM}$, and Charlie logs in at $8:02:30\text{ PM}$ ($30$ seconds past $8:02\text{ PM}$). At $8:01\text{ PM}$, Alex and Bill would merge parties and queue for $2$ minutes starting at $8:01\text{ PM}$. At $8:02:30\text{ PM}$, Charlie would merge with Alex and Bill’s party, since Alex and Bill have waited together for only $1.5$ minutes. What is the probability that they will play as a party of $3$?
