In triangle $ ABC$, $ AC \equal{} 13, BC \equal{} 14,$ and $ AB\equal{}15$. Points $ M$ and $ D$ lie on $ AC$ with $ AM\equal{}MC$ and $ \angle ABD \equal{} \angle DBC$. Points $ N$ and $ E$ lie on $ AB$ with $ AN\equal{}NB$ and $ \angle ACE \equal{} \angle ECB$. Let $ P$ be the point, other than $ A$, of intersection of the circumcircles of $ \triangle AMN$ and $ \triangle ADE$. Ray $ AP$ meets $ BC$ at $ Q$. The ratio $ \frac{BQ}{CQ}$ can be written in the form $ \frac{m}{n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $ m\minus{}n$.
To [i]dissect [/i] a polygon means to divide it into several regions by cutting along finitely many line segments. For example, the diagram below shows a dissection of a hexagon into two triangles and two quadrilaterals: [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/0/a/378e477bcbcec26fc90412c3eada855ae52b45.png[/img] An [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangle is a right triangle whose side lengths are in an integer ratio. For example, a triangle with sides $3,4,5$ is an[i] integer-ratio[/i] right triangle, and so is a triangle with sides $\frac52 \sqrt3 ,6\sqrt3, \frac{13}{2} \sqrt3$. On the other hand, the right triangle with sides$ \sqrt2 ,\sqrt5, \sqrt7$ is not an [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangle. Determine, with proof, all integers $n$ for which it is possible to completely [i]dissect [/i] a regular $n$-sided polygon into [i]integer-ratio[/i] right triangles.

Given a positive integer $k$, find all polynomials $P$ of degree $k$ with integer coefficients such that for all positive integers $n$ where all of $P(n)$, $P(2024n)$, $P(2024^2n)$ are nonzero, we have $$\frac{\gcd(P(2024n), P(2024^2n))}{\gcd(P(n), P(2024n))}=2024^k.$$ [i]Allen Wang[/i]

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 $100\text{A} + 10\text{B} + \text{C}$.
