Ralph is standing along a road which heads straight east. If you go nine miles east, make a left turn, and travel seven miles north, you will find Pamela with her mountain bike. At exactly the same time that Ralph begins running eastward along the road at 6 miles per hour, Pamela begins biking in a straight line at 10 miles per hour. Pamela’s direction is chosen so that she will reach a point on the road where Ralph is running at exactly the same time Ralph reaches that same point. Let $M$ and $N$ be relatively prime positive integers such that $\frac{M}{N}$ is the number of hours that it takes Pamela and Ralph to meet. Find $M+N$.

Let $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ be concentric circles with radii $1$ and $2$, respectively. Four points are chosen on the circumference of $\Gamma_2$ independently and uniformly at random, and are then connected to form a convex quadrilateral. What is the probability that the perimeter of this quadrilateral intersects $\Gamma_1$? [i]Proposed by Yuan Yao.[/i]

The circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ with radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ touch the line $p$ at the point $P$. $C_1$ lies entirely within $C_2$. Line $q \perp p$ intersects $p$ at $S$ and touches $C_1$ at $R$. $q$ intersects $C_2$ at $M$ and $N$, where $N$ is between $R$ and $S$. a) Prove that line $PR$ bisects angle $\angle MPN$. b) Calculate the ratio $r_1 : r_2$ if line $PN$ bisects angle $\angle RPS$.

Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers with $k<n$. Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ with real coefficients, nonzero constant term, and no repeated roots. Suppose that for any real numbers $a_0,\,a_1,\,\ldots,\,a_k$ such that the polynomial $a_kx^k+\cdots+a_1x+a_0$ divides $P(x)$, the product $a_0a_1\cdots a_k$ is zero. Prove that $P(x)$ has a nonreal root.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. There are $2018n+1$ cities in the Kingdom of Sellke Arabia. King Mark wants to build two-way roads that connect certain pairs of cities such that for each city $C$ and integer $1\le i\le 2018,$ there are exactly $n$ cities that are a distance $i$ away from $C.$ (The [i]distance[/i] between two cities is the least number of roads on any path between the two cities.) For which $n$ is it possible for Mark to achieve this? [i]Proposed by Michael Ren[/i]

Consider an $n$-by-$n$ board of unit squares for some odd positive integer $n$. We say that a collection $C$ of identical dominoes is a [i]maximal grid-aligned configuration[/i] on the board if $C$ consists of $(n^2-1)/2$ dominoes where each domino covers exactly two neighboring squares and the dominoes don't overlap: $C$ then covers all but one square on the board. We are allowed to slide (but not rotate) a domino on the board to cover the uncovered square, resulting in a new maximal grid-aligned configuration with another square uncovered. Let $k(C)$ be the number of distinct maximal grid-aligned configurations obtainable from $C$ by repeatedly sliding dominoes. Find all possible values of $k(C)$ as a function of $n$.

Let $n > 1$ be an integer. In a [i]configuration[/i] of an $n \times n$ board, each of the $n^2$ cells contains an arrow, either pointing up, down, left, or right. Given a starting configuration, Turbo the snail starts in one of the cells of the board and travels from cell to cell. In each move, Turbo moves one square unit in the direction indicated by the arrow in her cell (possibly leaving the board). After each move, the arrows in all of the cells rotate $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise. We call a cell [i]good[/i] if, starting from that cell, Turbo visits each cell of the board exactly once, without leaving the board, and returns to her initial cell at the end. Determine, in terms of $n$, the maximum number of good cells over all possible starting configurations. [i]Proposed by Melek Güngör, Turkey[/i]
