Larry and Rob are two robots travelling in one car from Argovia to Zillis. Both robots have control over the steering and steer according to the following algorithm: Larry makes a 90 degrees left turn after every $ \ell$ kilometer driving from start, Rob makes a 90 degrees right turn after every $ r$ kilometer driving from start, where $ \ell$ and $ r$ are relatively prime positive integers.
In the event of both turns occurring simultaneously, the car will keep going without changing direction. Assume that the ground is flat and the car can move in any direction. Let the car start from Argovia facing towards Zillis. For which choices of the pair ($ \ell$, $ r$) is the car guaranteed to reach Zillis, regardless of how far it is from Argovia?
The perimeter of triangle $APM$ is $152,$ and the angle $PAM$ is a right angle.

Maya lists all the positive divisors of $ 2010^2$. She then randomly selects two distinct divisors from this list.

The probability $ p$ can be expressed in the form $ \frac{m}{n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $ m \plus{} n$.

Let $m_1,m_2,...,m_{2013} > 1$ be 2013 pairwise relatively prime positive integers and $A_1,A_2,...,A_{2013}$ be 2013 (possibly empty) sets with $A_i\subseteq \{1,2,...,m_i-1\}$ for $i=1,2,...,2013$. Prove that there is a positive integer $N$ such that
\[ N \le \left( 2\left\lvert A_1 \right\rvert + 1 \right)\left( 2\left\lvert A_2 \right\rvert + 1 \right)\cdots\left( 2\left\lvert A_{2013} \right\rvert + 1 \right) \]

Let $a$ be any integer. Prove that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that \[ p\,|\,n^2+3\qquad\text{and}\qquad p\,|\,m^3-a \] for some integers $n$ and $m$.
Let $f(x)=x^2+4x+2$. Let $r$ be the difference between the largest and smallest real solutions of the equation $f(f(f(f(x))))=0$. Then $r=a^{\frac{p}{q}}$ for some positive integers $a$, $p$, $q$ so $a$ is square-free and $p,q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $a+p+q$.
The diagram shows a large circular dart board with four smaller shaded circles each internally tangent to the larger circle. Two of the internal circles have half the radius of the large circle, and are, therefore, tangent to each other. The other two smaller circles are tangent to these circles. If a dart is thrown so that it sticks to a point randomly chosen on the dart board, then the probability that the dart sticks to a point in the shaded area is $\dfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

The diagram below shows twelve $30-60-90$ triangles placed in a circle so that the hypotenuse of each triangle coincides with the longer leg of the next triangle. The fourth and last triangle in this diagram are shaded. The ratio of the perimeters of these two triangles can be written as $\tfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

a) Show that the set $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + }$ of all positive rationals can be partitioned into three disjoint subsets. $ A,B,C$ satisfying the following conditions:
\[ BA = B; \& B^2 = C; \& BC = A;
\]
where $ HK$ stands for the set $ \{hk: h \in H, k \in K\}$ for any two subsets $ H, K$ of $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + }$ and $ H^2$ stands for $ HH.$
b) Show that all positive rational cubes are in $ A$ for such a partition of $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + }.$
c) Find such a partition $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + } = A \cup B \cup C$ with the property that for no positive integer $ n \leq 34,$ both $ n$ and $ n + 1$ are in $ A,$ that is,
\[ \text{min} \{n \in \mathbb{N}: n \in A, n + 1 \in A \} > 34.
