An equilateral triangle is given. A point lies on the incircle of this triangle. If the smallest two distances from the point to the sides of the triangle is $1$ and $4$, the sidelength of this equilateral triangle can be expressed as $\tfrac{a\sqrt b}c$ where $(a,c)=1$ and $b$ is not divisible by the square of an integer greater than $1$. Find $a+b+c$.

In a triangle $ABC, P$ and $P'$ are points on side $BC, Q$ on side $CA$, and $R $ on side $AB$, such that $\frac{AR}{RB}=\frac{BP}{PC}=\frac{CQ}{QA}=\frac{CP'}{P'B}$ . Let $G$ be the centroid of triangle $ABC$ and $K$ be the intersection point of $AP'$ and $RQ$. Prove that points $P,G,K$ are collinear.

find a point $ A_5$ in the plane that maximizes the ratio \[ \frac{\min_{1 \leq i < j < k \leq 5}T(A_iA_jA_k)}{\max_{1 \leq i < j < k \leq 5}T(A_iA_jA_k)}.\] ($ T(ABC)$ denotes the area of the triangle $ \bigtriangleup ABC.$ )

Let $S$ be a finite set of positive integers which has the following property:if $x$ is a member of $S$,then so are all positive divisors of $x$. A non-empty subset $T$ of $S$ is [i]good[/i] if whenever $x,y\in T$ and $x<y$, the ratio $y/x$ is a power of a prime number. A non-empty subset $T$ of $S$ is [i]bad[/i] if whenever $x,y\in T$ and $x<y$, the ratio $y/x$ is not a power of a prime number. A set of an element is considered both [i]good[/i] and [i]bad[/i]. Let $k$ be the largest possible size of a [i]good[/i] subset of $S$. Prove that $k$ is also the smallest number of pairwise-disjoint [i]bad[/i] subsets whose union is $S$.

A calculator is broken so that the only keys that still work are the $ \sin$, $ \cos$, and $ \tan$ buttons, and their inverses (the $ \arcsin$, $ \arccos$, and $ \arctan$ buttons). The display initially shows $ 0$. Given any positive rational number $ q$, show that pressing some finite sequence of buttons will yield the number $ q$ on the display. Assume that the calculator does real number calculations with infinite precision. All functions are in terms of radians.
