Cucumber river in the Flower city has parallel banks with the distance between them $1$ metre. It has some islands with the total perimeter $8$ metres. Mr. Know-All claims that it is possible to cross the river in a boat from the arbitrary point, and the trajectory will not exceed $3$ metres. Is he right?

Consider the cube $ABCDA'B'C'D'$ ($ABCD$ and $A'B'C'D'$ are the upper and lower bases, repsectively, and edges $AA', BB', CC', DD'$ are parallel). The point $X$ moves at a constant speed along the perimeter of the square $ABCD$ in the direction $ABCDA$, and the point $Y$ moves at the same rate along the perimiter of the square $B'C'CB$ in the direction $B'C'CBB'$. Points $X$ and $Y$ begin their motion at the same instant from the starting positions $A$ and $B'$, respectively. Determine and draw the locus of the midpionts of the segments $XY$.

Jacob's analog clock has 12 equally spaced tick marks on the perimeter, but all the digits have been erased, so he doesn't know which tick mark corresponds to which hour. Jacob takes an arbitrary tick mark and measures clockwise to the hour hand and minute hand. He measures that the minute hand is 300 degrees clockwise of the tick mark, and that the hour hand is 70 degrees clockwise of the same tick mark. If it is currently morning, how many minutes past midnight is it? [i]Ray Li[/i]

Pairwise distinct points $P_1,P_2,\ldots, P_{16}$ lie on the perimeter of a square with side length $4$ centered at $O$ such that $\lvert P_iP_{i+1} \rvert = 1$ for $i=1,2,\ldots, 16$. (We take $P_{17}$ to be the point $P_1$.) We construct points $Q_1,Q_2,\ldots,Q_{16}$ as follows: for each $i$, a fair coin is flipped. If it lands heads, we define $Q_i$ to be $P_i$; otherwise, we define $Q_i$ to be the reflection of $P_i$ over $O$. (So, it is possible for some of the $Q_i$ to coincide.) Let $D$ be the length of the vector $\overrightarrow{OQ_1} + \overrightarrow{OQ_2} + \cdots + \overrightarrow{OQ_{16}}$. Compute the expected value of $D^2$. [i]Ray Li[/i]
