Say that a (nondegenerate) triangle is [i]funny[/i] if it satisfies the following condition: the altitude, median, and angle bisector drawn from one of the vertices divide the triangle into 4 non-overlapping triangles whose areas form (in some order) a 4-term arithmetic sequence. (One of these 4 triangles is allowed to be degenerate.) Find with proof all funny triangles.

He then posted a sign “$ \frac{1}{3}$ off on these dresses.” The cost of the dresses was $ \frac{3}{4}$ of the price at which he actually sold them.

For a positive integer, we define it's [i]set of exponents[/i] the unordered list of all the exponents of the primes, in it`s decomposition. For example, $18=2\cdot 3^{2}$ has it`s set of exponents $1,2$ and $300=2^{2}\cdot 3\cdot 5^{2}$ has it`s set of exponents $1,2,2$. There are given two arithmetical progressions $\big(a_{n}\big)_{n}$ and $\big(b_{n}\big)_{n}$, such that for any positive integer $n$, $a_{n}$ and $b_{n}$ have the same set of exponents. Prove that the progressions are proportional (that is, there is $k$ such that $a_{n}=kb_{n}$ for any $n$). [i]Proposed by A. Golovanov[/i]

John ordered $4$ pairs of black socks and some additional pairs of blue socks. The price of the black socks per pair was twice that of the blue. When the order was filled, it was found that the number of pairs of the two colors had been interchanged. This increased the bill by $ 50\%$. The ratio of the number of pairs of black socks to the number of pairs of blue socks in the original order was: $\textbf{(A)}\ 4:1 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 2:1 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 1:4 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 1:2 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 1:8$

Suppose that the measurement of time during the day is converted to the metric system so that each day has $10$ metric hours, and each metric hour has $100$ metric minutes. Digital clocks would then be produced that would read $9{:}99$ just before midnight, $0{:}00$ at midnight, $1{:}25$ at the former $3{:}00$ $\textsc{am}$, and $7{:}50$ at the former $6{:}00$ $\textsc{pm}$. After the conversion, a person who wanted to wake up at the equivalent of the former $6{:}36$ $\textsc{am}$ would have to set his new digital alarm clock for $\text{A:BC}$, where $\text{A}$, $\text{B}$, and $\text{C}$ are digits. Find $100\text{A} + 10\text{B} + \text{C}$.
