Two perpendicular chords of a circle, $AM, BN$ , which intersect at point $K$, define on the circle four arcs with pairwise different length, with $AB$ being the smallest of them. We draw the chords $AD, BC$ with $AD // BC$ and $C, D$ different from $N, M$ . If $L$ is the intersection point of $DN, M C$ and $T$ the intersection point of $DC, KL,$ prove that $\angle KTC = \angle KNL$.

Nick is a runner, and his goal is to complete four laps around a circuit at an average speed of $10$ mph. If he completes the first three laps at a constant speed of only $9$ mph, what speed does he need to maintain in miles per hour on the fourth lap to achieve his goal?

Let $n \ge 3$ be a fixed integer. A game is played by $n$ players sitting in a circle. Initially, each player draws three cards from a shuffled deck of $3n$ cards numbered $1, 2, \dots, 3n$. Then, on each turn, every player simultaneously passes the smallest-numbered card in their hand one place clockwise and the largest-numbered card in their hand one place counterclockwise, while keeping the middle card. Let $T_r$ denote the configuration after $r$ turns (so $T_0$ is the initial configuration). Show that $T_r$ is eventually periodic with period $n$, and find the smallest integer $m$ for which, regardless of the initial configuration, $T_m=T_{m+n}$.

Tyler has two calculators, both of which initially display zero. The first calculators has only two buttons, $[+1]$ and $[\times 2]$. The second has only the buttons $[+1]$ and $[\times 4]$. Both calculators update their displays immediately after each keystroke. A positive integer $n$ is called [i]ambivalent[/i] if the minimum number of keystrokes needed to display $n$ on the first calculator equals the minimum number of keystrokes needed to display $n$ on the second calculator. Find the sum of all ambivalent integers between $256$ and $1024$ inclusive. [i]Proposed by Joshua Xiong[/i]
