Circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ intersect at points $X$ and $Y$ . Point $A$ is a point on $C_1$ such that the tangent line with respect to $C_1$ passing through $A$ intersects $C_2$ at $B$ and $C$, with $A$ closer to $B$ than $C$, such that $2016 \cdot AB = BC$. Line $XY$ intersects line $AC$ at $D$. If circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ have radii of $20$ and $16$, respectively, find $\sqrt{1+BC/BD}$.

We call a subset $B$ of natural numbers [i]loyal[/i] if there exists natural numbers $i\le j$ such that $B=\{i,i+1,\ldots,j\}$. Let $Q$ be the set of all [i]loyal[/i] sets. For every subset $A=\{a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_k\}$ of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ we set \[f(A)=\max_{1\le i \le k-1}{a_{i+1}-a_i}\qquad\text{and}\qquad g(A)=\max_{B\subseteq A, B\in Q} |B|.\] Furthermore, we define \[F(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} f(A)\qquad\text{and}\qquad G(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} g(A).\] Prove that there exists $m\in \mathbb N$ such that for each natural number $n>m$ we have $F(n)>G(n)$. (By $|A|$ we mean the number of elements of $A$, and if $|A|\le 1$, we define $f(A)$ to be zero). [i]Proposed by Javad Abedi[/i]

In a rectangular plot of land, a man walks in a very peculiar fashion. Labeling the corners $ABCD$, he starts at $A$ and walks to $C$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $AD$, say $A_1$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $CD$ say $C_1$, and then the midpoint of $A_1D$ which is $A_2$. He continues in this fashion, indefinitely. The total length of his path if $AB=5$ and $BC=12$ is of the form $a + b\sqrt{c}$. Find $\displaystyle\frac{abc}{4}$.
