Let $VABC$ be a regular triangular pyramid with base $ABC$, of center $O$. Points $I$ and $H$ are the center of the inscribed circle, respectively the orthocenter $\vartriangle VBC$. Knowing that $AH = 3 OI$, determine the measure of the angle between the lateral edge of the pyramid and the plane of the base.

A point $A$ is chosen outside a circle with diameter $BC$ so that $\vartriangle ABC$ is acute. Segments $AB$ and $AC$ intersect the circle at $D$ and $E$, respectively, and $CD$ intersects $BE$ at $F$. Line $AF$ intersects the circle again at $G$ and intersects $BC$ at $H$. Prove that $AH \cdot F H = GH^2$. .

Sarah has five rings (numbered 1 through 5), each with ten rungs labeled $1$ through $10$. Rung $i$ is adjacent to rung $i+1$ for $1 \le i \le 9$, and rung $10$ is adjacent to rung $1$. How many ways can Sarah paint some (possibly none) of the rungs red such that in each ring, the red rungs form a contiguous block, and the total number of red rungs across the five rings is divisible by $11$? (For example, Sarah can paint rungs $8, 9, 10, 1, 2$ on ring $1$, rungs $3, 4, 5$ on ring $2$, no rungs on rings $3$ and $4$, and rungs $1,2,3$ on ring $5$.)

We say a finite set $S$ of points in the plane is [i]very[/i] if for every point $X$ in $S$, there exists an inversion with center $X$ mapping every point in $S$ other than $X$ to another point in $S$ (possibly the same point). (a) Fix an integer $n$. Prove that if $n \ge 2$, then any line segment $\overline{AB}$ contains a unique very set $S$ of size $n$ such that $A, B \in S$. (b) Find the largest possible size of a very set not contained in any line. (Here, an [i]inversion[/i] with center $O$ and radius $r$ sends every point $P$ other than $O$ to the point $P'$ along ray $OP$ such that $OP\cdot OP' = r^2$.) [i]Proposed by Sammy Luo[/i]

A scanning code consists of a $7 \times 7$ grid of squares, with some of its squares colored black and the rest colored white. There must be at least one square of each color in this grid of $49$ squares. A scanning code is called [i]symmetric[/i] if its look does not change when the entire square is rotated by a multiple of $90 ^{\circ}$ counterclockwise around its center, nor when it is reflected across a line joining opposite corners or a line joining midpoints of opposite sides. What is the total number of possible symmetric scanning codes? $\textbf{(A)} \text{ 510} \qquad \textbf{(B)} \text{ 1022} \qquad \textbf{(C)} \text{ 8190} \qquad \textbf{(D)} \text{ 8192} \qquad \textbf{(E)} \text{ 65,534}$

Let $A$ and $B$ be nonempty subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. The sum of $2$ distinct elements in $A$ is always an element of $B$. Furthermore, the result of the division of $2$ distinct elements in $B$ (where the larger number is divided by the smaller number) is always a member of $A$. Determine the maximum number of elements in $A \cup B$.
