The incircle of a triangle $ABC$ touches the side $AB$ and $AC$ at respectively at $X$ and $Y$. Let $K$ be the midpoint of the arc $\widehat{AB}$ on the circumcircle of $ABC$. Assume that $XY$ bisects the segment $AK$. What are the possible measures of angle $BAC$?

Let $ A$ and $ B$ be the endpoints of a semicircular arc of radius $ 2$. The arc is divided into seven congruent arcs by six equally spaced points $ C_1,C_2,\ldots,C_6$. All chords of the form $ \overline{AC_i}$ or $ \overline{BC_i}$ are drawn. Let $ n$ be the product of the lengths of these twelve chords. Find the remainder when $ n$ is divided by $ 1000$.

Bernardo chooses a three-digit positive integer $N$ and writes both its base-5 and base-6 representations on a blackboard. Later LeRoy sees the two numbers Bernardo has written. Treating the two numbers as base-10 integers, he adds them to obtain an integer $S$. For example, if $N=749$, Bernardo writes the numbers 10,444 and 3,245, and LeRoy obtains the sum $S=13,689$. For how many choices of $N$ are the two rightmost digits of $S$, in order, the same as those of $2N$? ${ \textbf{(A)}\ 5\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 10\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 15\qquad\textbf{(D}}\ 20\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 25 $

In acute-angled triangle $ABC$, a semicircle with radius $r_a$ is constructed with its base on $BC$ and tangent to the other two sides. $r_b$ and $r_c$ are defined similarly. $r$ is the radius of the incircle of $ABC$. Show that \[ \frac{2}{r} = \frac{1}{r_a} + \frac{1}{r_b} + \frac{1}{r_c}. \]

Noah has 8 species of animals to fit into 4 cages of the ark. He plans to put species in each cage. It turns out that, for each species, there are at most 3 other species with which it cannot share the accomodation. Prove that there is a way to assign the animals to their cages so that each species shares with compatible species.
