2010 Tournament Of Towns, 5

$33$ horsemen are riding in the same direction along a circular road. Their speeds are constant and pairwise distinct. There is a single point on the road where the horsemen can surpass one another. Can they ride in this fashion for arbitrarily long time ?

There are many sets of two different positive integers $a$ and $b$, both less than $50$, such that $a^2$ and $b^2$ end in the same last two digits. For example, $35^2 = 1225$ and $45^2 = 2025$ both end in $25$. What are all possible values for the average of $a$ and $b$? For the purposes of this problem, single-digit squares are considered to have a leading zero, so for example we consider $2^2$ to end with the digits 04, not $4$.

The circles $\gamma$ and $\delta$ are internally tangent to the circle $\omega$ at $A$ and $B$. From $A$, draw two tangent lines $\ell_1, \ell_2$ to $\delta$, . From $B$ draw two tangent lines $t_1, t_2$ to $\gamma$ . Let $\ell_1$ intersect $t_1$ at $X$ and $\ell_2$ intersect $t_2$ at $Y$ . Prove that the quadrilateral $AX BY$ is cyclic.

A year is a leap year if and only if the year number is divisible by $400$ (such as $2000$) or is divisible by $4$ but not by $100$ (such as $2012$). The $200\text{th}$ anniversary of the birth of novelist Charles Dickens was celebrated on February $7$, $2012$, a Tuesday. On what day of the week was Dickens born? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{Friday} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \text{Saturday} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \text{Sunday} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \text{Monday} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{Tuesday} $

In right triangle $ ABC$ with right angle at $ C$, $ \angle BAC < 45$ degrees and $ AB \equal{} 4$. Point $ P$ on $ AB$ is chosen such that $ \angle APC \equal{} 2\angle ACP$ and $ CP \equal{} 1$. The ratio $ \frac{AP}{BP}$ can be represented in the form $ p \plus{} q\sqrt{r}$, where $ p,q,r$ are positive integers and $ r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ p\plus{}q\plus{}r$.
