A sequence of convex polygons $(P_n),n\ge0,$ is defined inductively as follows. $P_0$ is an equilateral triangle with side length $1$. Once $P_n$ has been determined, its sides are trisected; the vertices of $P_{n+1}$ are the interior trisection points of the sides of $P_n$.
Express $\lim_{n\to\infty}[P_n]$ in the form $\frac{\sqrt a}b$, where $a,b$ are integers.

Pit and Bill play the following game. First Pit writes down a number $a$, then Bill writes a number $b$, then Pit writes a number $c$. Can Pit always play so that the three equations
$$x^3+ax^2+bx+c, x^3+bx^2+cx+a, x^3+cx^2+ax+b$$
have (a) a common real root; (b) a common negative root?

The circle $ \Gamma $ is inscribed to the scalene triangle $ABC$. $ \Gamma $ is tangent to the sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$ at $D, E$ and $F$ respectively. The line $EF$ intersects the line $BC$ at $G$. The circle of diameter $GD$ intersects $ \Gamma $ in $R$ ($ R\neq D $). Let $P$, $Q$ ($ P\neq R , Q\neq R $) be the intersections of $ \Gamma $ with $BR$ and $CR$, respectively. The lines $BQ$ and $CP$ intersects at $X$. The circumcircle of $CDE$ meets $QR$ at $M$, and the circumcircle of $BDF$ meet $PR$ at $N$. Prove that $PM$, $QN$ and $RX$ are concurrent.

10. Prair picks a three-digit palindrome $n$ at random. If the probability that $2n$ is also a palindrome can be expressed as $\frac{p}{q}$ in simplest terms, find $p + q$. (A palindrome is a number that reads the same forwards as backwards; for example, $161$ and $2992$ are palindromes, but $342$ is not.)
11. If two distinct integers are picked randomly between $1$ and $50$ inclusive, the probability that their sum is divisible by $7$ can be expressed as $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.
12. Ali is playing a game involving rolling standard, fair six-sided dice. She calls two consecutive die rolls such that the first is less than the second a "rocket." If, however, she ever rolls two consecutive die rolls such that the second is less than the first, the game stops. If the probability that Ali gets five rockets is $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $p+q$.

In a rectangular box $ABCDEFGH$ with edge lengths $AB = AD = 6$ and $AE = 49$, a plane slices through point $A$ and intersects edges $BF$, $FG$, $GH$, $HD$ at points $P$, $Q$, $R$, $S$ respectively. Given that $AP = AS$ and $PQ = QR = RS$, find the area of pentagon $APQRS$.

For any two rational numbers $ p$ and $ q$ in the interval $ (0,1)$ and function $ f$, there is always $ \displaystyle f \left( \frac{p\plus{}q}{2} \right) \leq \frac{f(p) \plus{} f(q)}{2}$. Then prove that for any rational numbers $ \lambda, x_1, x_2 \in (0,1)$, there is always:
\[ f( \lambda x_1 \plus{} (1\minus{}\lambda) x_2 ) \leq \lambda f(x_i) \plus{} (1\minus{}\lambda) f(x_2)\]

Let $n \ge 6$ be an integer. We have at our disposal $n$ colors. We color each of the unit squares of an $n \times n$ board with one of the $n$ colors.
a) Prove that, for any such coloring, there exists a path of a chess knight from the bottom-left to the upper-right corner, that does not use all the colors.
b) Prove that, if we reduce the number of colors to $\lfloor 2n/3 \rfloor + 2$, then the statement from a) is true for infinitely many values of $n$ and it is false also for infinitely many values of $n$

There is a list of seven numbers. The average of the first four numbers is $5$, and the average of the last four numbers is $8$. If the average of all seven numbers is $6\frac{4}{7}$, then the number common to both sets of four numbers is

Along a circle are $100$ white points. An integer $k$ is given, where $2 \le k \le 50$. In each move, we choose a block of $k$ adjacent points such that the first and the last are white, and we paint both of them black. For which values of $k$ is it possible for us to paint all $100$ points black after $50$ moves?

Let $s(n)$ be the sum of all positive divisors of $n$, so $s(6) = 12$. We say $n$ is almost perfect if $s(n) = 2n - 1$. Let $\mod(n, k)$ denote the residue of $n$ modulo $k$ (in other words, the remainder of dividing $n$ by $k$). Put $t(n) = \mod(n, 1) + \mod(n, 2) + \cdots + \mod(n, n)$.
Show that $n$ is almost perfect if and only if $t(n) = t(n-1)$.
