Let $\triangle ABC$ be equilateral with integer side length. Point $X$ lies on $\overline{BC}$ strictly between $B$ and $C$ such that $BX<CX$. Let $C'$ denote the reflection of $C$ over the midpoint of $\overline{AX}$. If $BC'=30$, find the sum of all possible side lengths of $\triangle ABC$. [i]Proposed by Connor Gordon[/i]

The incircle of a triangle $ABC$ touches the sides $BC$ and $AC$ at points $D$ and $E$, respectively. Suppose $P$ is the point on the shorter arc $DE$ of the incircle such that $\angle APE = \angle DPB$. The segments $AP$ and $BP$ meet the segment $DE$ at points $K$ and $L$, respectively. Prove that $2KL = DE$. [i]Dušan Djukić[/i]

33 friends are collecting stickers for a 2011-sticker album. A distribution of stickers among the 33 friends is incomplete when there is a sticker that no friend has. Determine the least $m$ with the following property: every distribution of stickers among the 33 friends such that, for any two friends, there are at least $m$ stickers both don't have, is incomplete.

The alphabet in its natural order $\text{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}$ is $T_0$. We apply a permutation to $T_0$ to get $T_1$ which is $\text{JQOWIPANTZRCVMYEGSHUFDKBLX}$. If we apply the same permutation to $T_1$, we get $T_2$ which is $\text{ZGYKTEJMUXSODVLIAHNFPWRQCB}$. We continually apply this permutation to each $T_m$ to get $T_{m+1}$. Find the smallest positive integer $n$ so that $T_n=T_0$.

There are $32$ students in the class with $10$ interesting group. Each group contains exactly $16$ students. For each couple of students, the square of the number of the groups which are only involved by just one of the two students is defined as their $interests-disparity$. Define $S$ as the sum of the $interests-disparity$ of all the couples, $\binom{32}{2}\left ( =\: 496 \right )$ ones in total. Determine the minimal possible value of $S$.

At each vertex of a regular $2008$-gon is placed a coin. We choose two coins and move each of them to an adjacent vertex, one in the clock-wise direction and the other in the anticlock-wise direction. Determine whether or not it is possible, by making several such pairs of moves, to move all the coins into (a) $8$ heaps of $251$ coins each, (b) $251$ heaps of $8$ coins each.

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a right triangle with $AB = 4, BC = 5$, and hypotenuse $AC$. Let I be the incenter of $\vartriangle ABC$ and $E$ be the excenter of $\vartriangle ABC$ opposite $A$ (the center of the circle tangent to $BC$ and the extensions of segments $AB$ and $AC$). Suppose the circle with diameter $IE$ intersects line $AB$ beyond $B$ at $D$. If $BD =\sqrt{a}- b$, where a and b are positive integers. Find $a + b$.

The numbers $1,2,\dots,10$ are written on a board. Every minute, one can select three numbers $a$, $b$, $c$ on the board, erase them, and write $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}$ in their place. This process continues until no more numbers can be erased. What is the largest possible number that can remain on the board at this point? [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

The incircle of triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ is tangent to side $AB$ at point $P$ and to side $BC$ at point $Q$. The circle passing through points $A,P,Q$ intersects line $BC$ a second time at $M$ and the circle passes through the points $C,P,Q$ and cuts the line $AB$ a second time at point$ N$. Prove that $NM$ is tangent to the incircle of $ABC$.

RyNo, a little rhinoceros, has $17$ scratch marks on its body. Some are horizontal and the rest are vertical. Some are on the left side and the rest are on the right side. If RyNo rubs one side of its body against a tree, two scratch marks, either both horizontal or both vertical, will disappear from that side. However, at the same time, two new scratch marks, one horizontal and one vertical, will appear on the other side. If there are less than two horizontal and less than two vertical scratch marks on the side being rubbed, then nothing happens. If RyNo continues to rub its body against trees, is it possible that at some point in time, the numbers of horizontal and vertical scratch marks have interchanged on each side of its body?
