Suppose that $x,y,z$ are positive real numbers that satisfy
\begin{align*}
x+y+z&=xyz\\
\frac{x^2}{16(1+x^2)}=\frac{y^2}{25(1+y^2)}&=\frac{z^2}{36(1+z^2)}.

Consider a round table on which $2014$ people are seated. Suppose that the person at the head of the table receives a giant plate containing all the food for supper. He then serves himself and passes the plate either right or left with equal probability. Each person, upon receiving the plate, will serve himself if necessary and similarly pass the plate either left or right with equal probability. Compute the probability that you are served last if you are seated $2$ seats away from the person at the head of the table.

Eddy and Moor play a game with the following rules:
[list=a]
[*] The game begins with a pile of $N$ stones, where $N$ is a positive integer. [/*]
[*] The $2$ players alternate taking turns (e.g. Eddy moves, then Moor moves, then Eddy moves, and so on). [/*]
[*] During a player's turn, given $a$ stones remaining in the pile, the player may remove $b$ stones from the pile, where $\gcd(a,b)=1$ and $b\leq a$. [/*]
[*] If a player cannot make a move, they lose. [/*]
[/list]
For example, if Eddy goes first and $N=4$, then Eddy can remove $3$ stones from the pile (since $3\leq4$ and $\gcd(3,4)=1$), leaving $1$ stone in the pile. Moor can then remove $1$ stone from the pile (since $1\leq1$ and $\gcd(1,1)=1$), leaving $0$ stones in the pile. Since Eddy cannot remove stones from an empty pile, he cannot make a move, and therefore loses.
Both Eddy and Moor want to win, so they will both always make the best possible move. If Eddy moves first, for how many values of $N<2016$ can Eddy win no matter what moves Moor chooses?

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that $\vartriangle ABC$ is an equilateral triangle. Let $P$ be a point inside the quadrilateral such that $\vartriangle APD$ is an equilateral triangle and $\angle PCD = 30^o$. Suppose $CP = 6$ and $CD = 8$. The area of the triangle formed by $P$, the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$, and the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ can be expressed in simplest radical form as $\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ , where $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are positive integers with $gcd(a, b, d) = 1$ and with $c$ not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a + b + c + d$.

Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ have radii $r_1<r_2$ respectively and intersect at distinct points $X$ and $Y$. The common external tangents intersect at point $Z$. The common tangent closer to $X$ touches $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ at $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Line $ZX$ intersects $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ again at points $R$ and $S$ and lines $RP$ and $SQ$ intersect again at point $T$. If $XT=8$, $XZ=15$, and $XY=12$, then what is $\tfrac{r_1}{r_2}$?
