Given a polynomial $f(x)$ with rational coefficients, of degree $d \ge 2$, we define the sequence of sets $f^0(\mathbb{Q}), f^1(\mathbb{Q}), \ldots$ as $f^0(\mathbb{Q})=\mathbb{Q}$, $f^{n+1}(\mathbb{Q})=f(f^{n}(\mathbb{Q}))$ for $n\ge 0$. (Given a set $S$, we write $f(S)$ for the set $\{f(x)\mid x\in S\})$.
Let $f^{\omega}(\mathbb{Q})=\bigcap_{n=0}^{\infty} f^n(\mathbb{Q})$ be the set of numbers that are in all of the sets $f^n(\mathbb{Q})$, $n\geq 0$. Prove that $f^{\omega}(\mathbb{Q})$ is a finite set.

Wendy takes Honors Biology at school, a smallish class with only fourteen students (including Wendy) who sit around a circular table. Wendy's friends Lucy, Starling, and Erin are also in that class. Last Monday none of the fourteen students were absent from class. Before the teacher arrived, Lucy and Starling stretched out a blue piece of yarn between them. Then Wendy and Erin stretched out a red piece of yarn between them at about the same height so that the yarn would intersect if possible. If all possible positions of the students around the table are equally likely, let $m/n$ be the probability that the yarns intersect, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m+n$.

If $\phi$ is the Golden Ratio, we know that $\frac1\phi = \phi - 1$. Define a new positive real number, called $\phi_d$, where $\frac1{\phi_d} = \phi_d - d$ (so $\phi = \phi_1$). Given that $\phi_{2009} = \frac{a + \sqrt{b}}{c}$, $a, b, c$ positive integers, and the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $c$ is 1, find $a + b + c$.

Two rational numbers \(\tfrac{m}{n}\) and \(\tfrac{n}{m}\) are written on a blackboard, where \(m\) and \(n\) are relatively prime positive integers. At any point, Evan may pick two of the numbers \(x\) and \(y\) written on the board and write either their arithmetic mean \(\tfrac{x+y}{2}\) or their harmonic mean \(\tfrac{2xy}{x+y}\) on the board as well. Find all pairs \((m,n)\) such that Evan can write 1 on the board in finitely many steps.

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with $\angle ABC = 120^{\circ}$ and $\angle BCD = 90^{\circ}$, and let $M$ and $N$ denote the midpoints of $\overline{BC}$ and $\overline{CD}$.

If $AB + BC = 444$, $CD = 256$ and $BC = \frac mn$ for some relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $100m+n$.

Joe the teacher is bad at rounding. Because of this, he has come up with his own way to round grades, where a [i]grade[/i] is a nonnegative decimal number with finitely many digits after the decimal point.
Given a grade with digits $a_1a_2 \dots a_m.b_1b_2 \dots b_n$, Joe first rounds the number to the nearest $10^{-n+1}$th place. He then repeats the procedure on the new number, rounding to the nearest $10^{-n+2}$th, then rounding the result to the nearest $10^{-n+3}$th, and so on, until he obtains an integer. For example, he rounds the number $2014.456$ via $2014.456 \to 2014.46 \to 2014.5 \to 2015$.
There exists a rational number $M$ such that a grade $x$ gets rounded to at least $90$ if and only if $x \ge M$. If $M = \tfrac pq$ for relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$, compute $p+q$.
