There are $101$ not necessarily different weights, each of which weighs an integer number of grams from $1$ g to $2020$ g. It is known that at any division of these weights into two heaps, the total weight of at least one of the piles is no more than $2020$. What is the largest number of grams can weigh all $101$ weights? (Bogdan Rublev)

Three runners start running simultaneously from the same point on a $500$-meter circular track. They each run clockwise around the course maintaining constant speeds of $4.4$, $4.8$, and $5.0$ meters per second. The runners stop once they are all together again somewhere on the circular course. How many seconds do the runners run? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 1,000 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 1,250 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2,500 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 5,000 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 10,000 $

The triangle $ ABC$ with the circumcircle $ k(U,r)$ is given. On the extension of the radii $ UA$ a point $ P$ is chosen. The reflection of the line $ PB$ on the line $ BA$ is called $ g$. Likewise the reflection of the line $ PC$ on the line $ CA$ is called $ h$. The intersection of $ g$ and $ h$ is called $ Q$. Find the geometric location of all possible intersections $ Q$, while $ P$ passes through the extension of the radii $ UA$.

2012 Tournament of Towns, 2

Chip and Dale play the following game. Chip starts by splitting $222$ nuts between two piles, so Dale can see it. In response, Dale chooses some number $N$ from $1$ to $222$. Then Chip moves nuts from the piles he prepared to a new (third) pile until there will be exactly $N$ nuts in any one or two piles. When Chip accomplishes his task, Dale gets an exact amount of nuts that Chip moved. What is the maximal number of nuts that Dale can get for sure, no matter how Chip acts? (Naturally, Dale wants to get as many nuts as possible, while Chip wants to lose as little as possible).

Two infinite geometric series have the same sum. The first term of the first series is $1$, and the first term of the second series is $4$. The fifth terms of the two series are equal. The sum of each series can be written as $m + \sqrt{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Given scales and a set of $n$ different weights. We take weights in turn and add them on one of the scales sides. Let us denote "$L$" the scales state with the left side down, and "$R$" -- with the right side down. a) Prove that you can arrange the weights in such an order, that we shall obtain the sequence $LRLRLRLR...$ of the scales states. (That means that the state of the scales will be changed after putting every new weight.) b) Prove that for every $n$-letter word containing $R$'s and $L$'s only you can arrange the weights in such an order, that the sequence of the scales states will be described by that word.

2011 storage buildings are connected by roads so that it is possible to reach any building from any other building, possibly using multiple roads. The buildings contain $x_1,\dots,x_{2011}$ kilogram of cement. In one move, it is possible to relocate any quantity of cement from one building to any other building that is connected to it. The target is to have $y_1,\dots,y_{2011}$ redistributed across storage buildings and \[x_1+x_2+\dots+x_{2011}=y_1+y_2+\dots+y_{2011}.\] What is the minimal number of moves that the redistribution can take regardless of values of $x_i$ and $y_i$ and of the road plan?

A small apartment building has four doors, with door numbers $1, 2, 3, 4.$ John has $2^4-1=15$ keys, label with of possible nonempty subsets of $\{1,2,3,4\}$, but he forgot which key is which. If an element on the key matches the door number, the key can open the door (e.g. key $\{1,2,4\}$ can open Door 4). He picks a key at random and tries to open Door 1, which fails, so he discards it. John then randomly picks one of his remaining 14 keys and tries to open Door 2, but it doesn't open, so he throws away that key as well. He then randomly selects one of the remaining 13 keys, and tests it on Door 3. What is the probability that it will open? [i]Proposed by dantx5[/i]

Two farmers agree that pigs are worth $ \$300$ and that goats are worth $ \$210$. When one farmer owes the other money, he pays the debt in pigs or goats, with ``change'' received in the form of goats or pigs as necessary. (For example, a $ \$390$ debt could be paid with two pigs, with one goat received in change.) What is the amount of the smallest positive debt that can be resolved in this way? $ \textbf{(A) } \$5\qquad \textbf{(B) } \$10\qquad \textbf{(C) } \$30\qquad \textbf{(D) } \$90\qquad \textbf{(E) } \$210$
