Members of the Rockham Soccer League buy socks and T-shirts. Socks cost $ \$4$ per pair and each T-shirt costs $ \$5$ more than a pair of socks. Each member needs one pair of socks and a shirt for home games and another pair of socks and a shirt for away games. If the total cost is $ \$2366$, how many members are in the League? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 77 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 91 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 143 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 182 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 286$

The kingdom of Anisotropy consists of $n$ cities. For every two cities there exists exactly one direct one-way road between them. We say that a [i]path from $X$ to $Y$[/i] is a sequence of roads such that one can move from $X$ to $Y$ along this sequence without returning to an already visited city. A collection of paths is called [i]diverse[/i] if no road belongs to two or more paths in the collection. Let $A$ and $B$ be two distinct cities in Anisotropy. Let $N_{AB}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $A$ to $B$. Similarly, let $N_{BA}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $B$ to $A$. Prove that the equality $N_{AB} = N_{BA}$ holds if and only if the number of roads going out from $A$ is the same as the number of roads going out from $B$.

Consider a table whose entries are integers. Adding a same integer to all entries on a same row, or on a same column, is called an [i]operation[/i]. It is given that, for infinitely many positive integers $n$, one can obtain, through a finite number of operations, a table having all entries divisible by $n$. Prove that, through a finite number of operations, one can obtain the table whose all entries are zeroes.

At a movie theater tickets for adults cost $4$ dollars more than tickets for children. One afternoon the theater sold $100$ more child tickets than adult tickets for a total sales amount of $1475$ dollars. How much money would the theater have taken in if the same tickets were sold, but the costs of the child tickets and adult tickets were reversed?

One evening a theater sold 300 tickets for a concert. Each ticket sold for \$40, and all tickets were purchased using \$5, \$10, and \$20 bills. At the end of the evening the theater had received twice as many \$10 bills as \$20 bills, and 20 more \$5 bills than \$10 bills. How many bills did the theater receive altogether?

For a positive integer $N$, let $T(N)$ denote the number of arrangements of the integers $1, 2, \cdots N$ into a sequence $a_1, a_2, \cdots a_N$ such that $a_i > a_{2i}$ for all $i$, $1 \le i < 2i \le N$ and $a_i > a_{2i+1}$ for all $i$, $1 \le i < 2i+1 \le N$. For example, $T(3)$ is $2$, since the possible arrangements are $321$ and $312$ (a) Find $T(7)$ (b) If $K$ is the largest non-negative integer so that $2^K$ divides $T(2^n - 1)$, show that $K = 2^n - n - 1$.

Let $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ be four points in the plane, with $C$ and $D$ on the same side of the line $AB$, such that $AC \cdot BD = AD \cdot BC$ and $\angle ADB = 90^{\circ}+\angle ACB$. Find the ratio \[\frac{AB \cdot CD}{AC \cdot BD}, \] and prove that the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ are orthogonal. (Intersecting circles are said to be orthogonal if at either common point their tangents are perpendicuar. Thus, proving that the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ are orthogonal is equivalent to proving that the tangents to the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ at the point $C$ are perpendicular.)
