Let $ABC$ be a triangle and $D$ be a point on $BC$ such that $AB+BD=AC+CD$. The line $AD$ intersects the incircle of triangle $ABC$ at $X$ and $Y$ where $X$ is closer to $A$ than $Y$ i. Suppose $BC$ is tangent to the incircle at $E$, prove that:
1) $EY$ is perpendicular to $AD$;
2) $XD=2IM$ where $I$ is the incentre and $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$.

Let $O$ be a point (in the plane) and $T$ be an infinite set of points such that $|P_1P_2| \le 2012$ for every two distinct points $P_1,P_2\in T$. Let $S(T)$ be the set of points $Q$ in the plane satisfying $|QP| \le 2013$ for at least one point $P\in T$.
Now let $L$ be the set of lines containing exactly one point of $S(T)$. Call a line $\ell_0$ passing through $O$ [i]bad[/i] if there does not exist a line $\ell\in L$ parallel to (or coinciding with) $\ell_0$.

(b) Prove that one can assign a line $\ell(i)$ to each positive integer $i$ so that for every bad line $\ell_0$ passing through $O$, there exists a positive integer $n$ with $\ell(n) = \ell_0$.

An $m\times n$ checkerboard is colored randomly: each square is independently assigned red or black with probability $\frac12.$ we say that two squares, $p$ and $q$, are in the same connected monochromatic region if there is a sequence of squares, all of the same color, starting at $p$ and ending at $q,$ in which successive squares in the sequence share a common side. Show that the expected number of connected monochromatic regions is greater than $\frac{mn}8.$

One container of paint is exactly enough to cover the inside of an old rectangle which is three times as long as it is wide. If we make a new rectangle by shortening the old rectangle by $18$ feet and widening it by $8$ feet as shown below, one container of paint is also exactly enough to cover the inside of the new rectangle. Find the length in feet of the perimeter of the new rectangle.
