Jenn randomly chooses a number $J$ from $1, 2, 3,\ldots, 19, 20$. Bela then randomly chooses a number $B$ from $1, 2, 3,\ldots, 19, 20$ distinct from $J$. The value of $B - J$ is at least $2$ with a probability that can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

(A.Zaslavsky) Given two triangles $ ABC$, $ A'B'C'$. Denote by $ \alpha$ the angle between the altitude and the median from vertex $ A$ of triangle $ ABC$. Angles $ \beta$, $ \gamma$, $ \alpha'$, $ \beta'$, $ \gamma'$ are defined similarly. It is known that $ \alpha \equal{} \alpha'$, $ \beta \equal{} \beta'$, $ \gamma \equal{} \gamma'$. Can we conclude that the triangles are similar?

Six different-sized cubes are glued together, one on top of the other. The bottom cube has edge length $8$. Each of the other cubes has four vertices at the midpoints of the edges of the cube below it as shown. The entire solid is then dipped in red paint. What is the total area of the red-painted surface on the solid? (will insert image here later) $\text{(A) }630\qquad\text{(B) }632\qquad\text{(C) }648\qquad\text{(D) }694\qquad\text{(E) }756$

Let $ A_0 \equal{} (a_1,\dots,a_n)$ be a finite sequence of real numbers. For each $ k\geq 0$, from the sequence $ A_k \equal{} (x_1,\dots,x_k)$ we construct a new sequence $ A_{k \plus{} 1}$ in the following way. 1. We choose a partition $ \{1,\dots,n\} \equal{} I\cup J$, where $ I$ and $ J$ are two disjoint sets, such that the expression \[ \left|\sum_{i\in I}x_i \minus{} \sum_{j\in J}x_j\right| \] attains the smallest value. (We allow $ I$ or $ J$ to be empty; in this case the corresponding sum is 0.) If there are several such partitions, one is chosen arbitrarily. 2. We set $ A_{k \plus{} 1} \equal{} (y_1,\dots,y_n)$ where $ y_i \equal{} x_i \plus{} 1$ if $ i\in I$, and $ y_i \equal{} x_i \minus{} 1$ if $ i\in J$. Prove that for some $ k$, the sequence $ A_k$ contains an element $ x$ such that $ |x|\geq\frac n2$. [i]Author: Omid Hatami, Iran[/i]

Initially, there are three different points on the plane. Every minute, three points are chosen, for example $A$, $B$ and $C$, and a new point $D$ is generated which is symmetric to $A$ with respect to the perpendicular bisector of line segment $BC$. 24 hours later, it turns out that among all the points that were generated, there exist three collinear points. Prove that the three initial points were also collinear. (Author: V. Shmarov)

[b]p1.[/b] Triangle $ABC$ has side lengths $AB = 3^2$ and $BC = 4^2$. Given that $\angle ABC$ is a right angle, determine the length of $AC$. [b]p2.[/b] Suppose $m$ and $n$ are integers such that $m^2+n^2 = 65$. Find the largest possible value of $m-n$. [b]p3.[/b] Six middle school students are sitting in a circle, facing inwards, and doing math problems. There is a stack of nine math problems. A random student picks up the stack and, beginning with himself and proceeding clockwise around the circle, gives one problem to each student in order until the pile is exhausted. Aditya falls asleep and is therefore not the student who picks up the pile, although he still receives problem(s) in turn. If every other student is equally likely to have picked up the stack of problems and Vishwesh is sitting directly to Aditya’s left, what is the probability that Vishwesh receives exactly two problems? [b]p4.[/b] Paul bakes a pizza in $15$ minutes if he places it $2$ feet from the fire. The time the pizza takes to bake is directly proportional to the distance it is from the fire and the rate at which the pizza bakes is constant whenever the distance isn’t changed. Paul puts a pizza $2$ feet from the fire at $10:30$. Later, he makes another pizza, puts it $2$ feet away from the fire, and moves the first pizza to a distance of $3$ feet away from the fire instantly. If both pizzas finish baking at the same time, at what time are they both done? [b]p5.[/b] You have $n$ coins that are each worth a distinct, positive integer amount of cents.
