Points $A, B, C$ are chosen on the boundary of a circle with center $O$ so that $\angle BAC$ encloses an arc of $120$ degrees. Let $D$ be chosen on $\overline{BA}$ so that $\angle AOD$ is a right angle. Extend $\overline{CD}$ so that it intersects with $O$ again at point $P$. What is the measure of the arc, in degrees, that is enclosed by $\angle ACP$? Please use the $tan^{-1}$ function to express your answer.

For positive integers $i = 2, 3, \ldots, 2020$, let \[ a_i = \frac{\sqrt{3i^2+2i-1}}{i^3-i}. \]Let $x_2$, $\ldots$, $x_{2020}$ be positive reals such that $x_2^4 + x_3^4 + \cdots + x_{2020}^4 = 1-\frac{1}{1010\cdot 2020\cdot 2021}$. Let $S$ be the maximum possible value of \[ \sum_{i=2}^{2020} a_i x_i (\sqrt{a_i} - 2^{-2.25} x_i) \] and let $m$ be the smallest positive integer such that $S^m$ is rational. When $S^m$ is written as a fraction in lowest terms, let its denominator be $p_1^{\alpha_1} p_2^{\alpha_2}\cdots p_k^{\alpha_k}$ for prime numbers $p_1 < \cdots < p_k$ and positive integers $\alpha_i$. Compute $p_1\alpha_1+p_2\alpha_2 + \cdots + p_k\alpha_k$. [i]Proposed by Edward Wan and Brandon Wang[/i]

A power boat and a raft both left dock $A$ on a river and headed downstream. The raft drifted at the speed of the river current. The power boat maintained a constant speed with respect to the river. The power boat reached dock $B$ downriver, then immediately turned and traveled back upriver. It eventually met the raft on the river $9$ hours after leaving dock $A.$ How many hours did it take the power boat to go from $A $ to $B$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 3 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 3.5 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 4 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 4.5 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 5 $

It is known that the merchant’s $n$ clients live in locations laid along the ring road. Of these, $k$ customers have debts to the merchant for $a_1,a_2,...,a_k$ rubles, and the merchant owes the remaining $n-k$ clients, whose debts are $b_1,b_2,...,b_{n-k}$ rubles, moreover, $a_1+a_2+...+a_k=b_1+b_2+...+b_{n-k}$. Prove that a merchant who has no money can pay all his debts and have paid all the customer debts, by starting a customer walk along the road from one of points and not missing any of their customers.
