A square piece of paper has sides of length $ 100$. From each corner a wedge is cut in the following manner: at each corner, the two cuts for the wedge each start at distance $ \sqrt {17}$ from the corner, and they meet on the diagonal at an angle of $ 60^\circ$ (see the figure below). The paper is then folded up along the lines joining the vertices of adjacent cuts. When the two edges of a cut meet, they are taped together. The result is a paper tray whose sides are not at right angles to the base. The height of the tray, that is, the perpendicular distance between the plane of the base and the plane formed by the upper edges, can be written in the form $ \sqrt [n]{m}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers, $ m < 1000$, and $ m$ is not divisible by the $ n$th power of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.

Real numbers are written on the squares of an infinite grid. Two figures consisting of finitely many squares are given. They may be translated anywhere on the grid as long as their squares coincide with those of the grid. It is known that wherever the first figure is translated, the sum of numbers it covers is positive. Prove that the second figure can be translated so that the sum of the numbers it covers is also positive.

At a certain mathematical conference, every pair of mathematicians are either friends or strangers. At mealtime, every participant eats in one of two large dining rooms. Each mathematician insists upon eating in a room which contains an even number of his or her friends. Prove that the number of ways that the mathematicians may be split between the two rooms is a power of two (i.e., is of the form $ 2^k$ for some positive integer $ k$).

Let $ \Delta ABC$ be a triangle with $M$ the middle of the side $[BC]$.
On the line $BC$, to the left and to the right of the point $M,$ at the same distance from $M,$ let us consider $d_1$ and $d_2,$ which are perpendicular to the line BC.
The perpendicular line from $M$ to $AB$ intersects $d_1$ in $P,$ and the perpendicular line from $M$ to $AC$ intersects $d_2$ in $Q.$
Prove that \[AM\perp PQ.\]

Participants to an olympiad worked on $n$ problems. Each problem was worth a [color=#FF0000]positive [/color]integer number of points, determined by the jury. A contestant gets $0$ points for a wrong answer, and all points for a correct answer to a problem. It turned out after the olympiad that the jury could impose worths of the problems, so as to obtain any (strict) final ranking of the contestants. Find the greatest possible number of contestants.
