Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=2$, $BC=3$, and $AC=4$. Consider all lines $XY$ such that $X$ lies on $AC$, $Y$ lies on $BC$, and $\triangle XYC$ has area equal to half that of $\triangle ABC$. What is the minimum possible length of $XY$?

A point is "bouncing" inside a unit equilateral triangle with vertices $(0,0)$, $(1,0)$, and $(1/2,\sqrt{3}/2)$. The point moves in straight lines inside the triangle and bounces elastically off an edge at an angle equal to the angle of incidence. Suppose that the point starts at the origin and begins motion in the direction of $(1,1)$. After the ball has traveled a cumulative distance of $30\sqrt{2}$, compute its distance from the origin.

Laurie loves multiplying numbers in her head. One day she decides to multiply two $2$-digit numbers $x$ and $y$ such that $x\leq y$ and the two numbers collectively have at least three distinct digits. Unfortunately, she accidentally remembers the digits of each number in the opposite order (for example, instead of remembering $51$ she remembers $15$). Surprisingly, the product of the two numbers after flipping the digits is the same as the product of the two original numbers. How many possible pairs of numbers could Laurie have tried to multiply?

In a given acute triangle $\triangle ABC$ with the values of angles given (known as $a$, $b$, and $c$), the inscribed circle has points of tangency $D,E,F$ where $D$ is on $BC$, $E$ is on $AB$, and $F$ is on $AC$. Circle $\gamma$ has diameter $BC$, and intersects $\overline{EF}$ at points $X$ and $Y$. Find $\tfrac{XY}{BC}$ in terms of the angles $a$, $b$, and $c$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=24$, $BC=30$, and $AC=36$. Point $M$ lies on $BC$ such that $BM=12$, and point $N$ lies on $AC$ such that $CN=20$. Let $X$ be the intersection of $AM$ and $BN$ and let line $CX$ intersect $AB$ at point $L$. Compute

Sam's cup has a $400$ mL mixture of coffee and milk tea. He pours $200$ mL into Ben's empty cup. Ben then adds 100mL of co ee to his cup and stirs well. Finally, Ben pours $200$ mL out of his cup back into Sam's cup. If the mixture in Sam's cup is now $50\%$ milk tea, then how many milliliters of milk tea were in it originally?

Jonah recently harvested a large number of lychees and wants to split them into groups. Unfortunately, for all $n$ where $3\leq n\leq8$, when the lychees are distributed evenly into $n$ groups, $n-1$ lychees remain. What is the smallest possible number of lychees that Jonah could have?

An ant is walking on the edges of an icosahedron of side length $1$. Compute the length of the longest path that the ant can take if it never travels over the same edge twice, but is allowed to revisit vertices.

Alex scans the list of integers between $1$ and $2020$ inclusive using the following algorithm. First, he reads off perfect squares between $1$ and $2020$ in ascending order and removes these numbers from the list. Next, he reads off numbers now at perfect square indices in ascending order, which are $2$, $6$, $12$, $...$, and removes these numbers from the list. He repeats this algorithm until he reads off $2020$, which is the nth number he has read o so far. Compute $n$.

A cake in the shape of a rectangular prism has dimensions $6\text{ cm}\times14\text{ cm}\times21\text{ cm}$. It is cut into $1764$ equally sized cubes such that each cube is $1\text{ cm}^3$. Andy the ant starts at one corner of the cake and eats through the cake in a straight line to the opposite corner of the cake. How many of the $1\text{ cm}^3$ cubes does Andy bite through?

In his spare time, Thomas likes making rectangular windows. He builds windows by taking four $30\text{ cm}\times20\text{ cm}$ rectangles of glass and arranging them in a larger rectangle in wood. The window has an $x\text{ cm}$ wide strip of wood between adjacent glass pieces and an $x\text{ cm}$ wide strip of wood between each glass piece and the adjacent edge of the window. Given that the total area of the glass is equivalent to the total area of the wood, what is $x$?

A positive integer $n$ has the property that, for any $2$ integers $a$ and $b$, if $ab + 1$ is divisible by $n$, then $a + b$ is also divisible by $n$. What is the largest possible value of $n$?

For a given positive integer $m$, the series
$$\sum_{k=1,k\neq m}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(k+m)(k-m)}$$
evaluates to $\frac{a}{bm^2}$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers. Compute $a+b$.

If $f$ is a permutation of $S = \{0, 1,..., 14\}$, then for integers $k \ge 1$, define $$f^k(x) =\underbrace{f(f...(f(x))... ))}_{k\,\,\, applications \,\,\, of \,\,\, f}$$ Compute the number of permutations $f$ of $S$ such that, for some $k \ge 1$, $f^k(x) = (x + 5) \mod \,\,\, 15$ for all $x \in S$.

$\vartriangle ABC$ is right with $\angle C = 90^o$. The internal angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ meet at point $D$, while the external angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ meet at point $E$. Suppose that $AD = 1$ and $BD = 2$. The value of $DE^2$ can be expressed as $x+y \sqrt{z}$ for integers $x$, $y$, and $z$, where $z$ is greater than $1$ and not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $100x + 10y + z$.
Note: For a generic triangle $\vartriangle PQR$, if we let $Q'$ be the reflection of $Q$ over $P$, then the external angle bisector of $\angle P$ is the line that contains the internal angle bisector of $\angle Q'PR$.

Two quadratic polynomials $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ have a leading term of $x^2$. For some real numbers $a$ and $b$, the roots of $A(x)$ are $1$ and $a$, and the roots of $B(x)$ are $6$ and $b$. If the roots of $A(x) + B(x)$ are $a + 3$ and $b + \frac1 2$ , then compute $a^2 + b^2$.
