The adjoining figure shows two intersecting chords in a circle, with $B$ on minor arc $AD$. Suppose that the radius of the circle is 5, that $BC = 6$, and that $AD$ is bisected by $BC$. Suppose further that $AD$ is the only chord starting at $A$ which is bisected by $BC$. It follows that the sine of the minor arc $AB$ is a rational number. If this fraction is expressed as a fraction $m/n$ in lowest terms, what is the product $mn$?

In his triangle $ABC$ Serge made some measurements and informed Ilias about the lengths of median $AD$ and side $AC$. Based on these data Ilias proved the assertion: angle $CAB$ is obtuse, while angle $DAB$ is acute. Determine a ratio $AD/AC$ and prove Ilias' assertion (for any triangle with such a ratio).
A fenced, rectangular field measures 24 meters by 52 meters. An agricultural researcher has 1994 meters of fence that can be used for internal fencing to partition the field into congruent, square test plots. The entire field must be partitioned, and the sides of the squares must be parallel to the edges of the field. What is the largest number of square test plots into which the field can be partitioned using all or some of the 1994 meters of fence?
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).
