Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=34,BC=25,$ and $CA=39$. Let $O,H,$ and $ \omega$ be the circumcenter, orthocenter, and circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$, respectively. Let line $AH$ meet $\omega$ a second time at $A_1$ and let the reflection of $H$ over the perpendicular bisector of $BC$ be $H_1$. Suppose the line through $O$ perpendicular to $A_1O$ meets $\omega$ at two points $Q$ and $R$ with $Q$ on minor arc $AC$ and $R$ on minor arc $AB$. Denote $\mathcal H$ as the hyperbola passing through $A,B,C,H,H_1$, and suppose $HO$ meets $\mathcal H$ again at $P$. Let $X,Y$ be points with $XH \parallel AR \parallel YP, XP \parallel AQ \parallel YH$. Let $P_1,P_2$ be points on the tangent to $\mathcal H$ at $P$ with $XP_1 \parallel OH \parallel YP_2$ and let $P_3,P_4$ be points on the tangent to $\mathcal H$ at $H$ with $XP_3 \parallel OH \parallel YP_4$. If $P_1P_4$ and $P_2P_3$ meet at $N$, and $ON$ may be written in the form $\frac{a}{b}$ where $a,b$ are positive coprime integers, find $100a+b$.

Find all the functions $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}$ that satisfy
\[ f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) \] for all $x,y\in\mathbb{N}$ satisfying $10^6-\frac{1}{10^6} < \frac{x}{y} < 10^6+\frac{1}{10^6}$.
Note: $\mathbb{N}$ denotes the set of positive integers and $\mathbb{R}$ denotes the set of real numbers.

Define an [i]almost-palindrome[/i] as a string of letters that is not a palindrome but can become a palindrome if one of its letters is changed. For example, $TRUST$ is an almost-palindrome because the $R$ can be changed to an $S$ to produce a palindrome, but $TRIVIAL$ is not an almost-palindrome because it cannot be changed into a palindrome by swapping out only one letter (both the $A$ and the $L$ are out of place). How many almost-palindromes contain fewer than $4$ letters.

Arrange the positive integers into two lines as follows:
\begin{align*} 1 \quad 3 \qquad 6 \qquad\qquad\quad 11 \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad\ 19\qquad\qquad32\qquad\qquad 53\ldots\\
\mbox{\ \ } 2 \quad 4\ \ 5 \quad 7\ \ 8\ \ 9\ \ 10\quad\ 12\ 13\ 14\ 15\ 16\ 17\ 18\quad\ 20 \mbox{ to } 31\quad\ 33 \mbox{ to } 52\quad\ \ldots\end{align*} We start with writing $1$ in the upper line, $2$ in the lower line and $3$ again in the upper line. Afterwards, we alternately write one single integer in the upper line and a block of integers in the lower line. The number of consecutive integers in a block is determined by the first number in the previous block.
Let $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_3$, $\ldots$ be the numbers in the upper line. Give an explicit formula for $a_n$.

Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer. An $n$-staircase is a polyomino with $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ cells arranged in the shape of a staircase, with arbitrary size. Here are two examples of $5$-staircases:
[asy]
int s = 5;
for(int i = 0; i < s; i=i+1) { draw((0,0)--(0,i+1)--(s-i,i+1)--(s-i,0)--cycle); }
for(int i = 0; i < s; i=i+1) { draw((10,.67*s)--(10,.67*(s-i-1))--(.67*(s-i)+10,.67*(s-i-1))--(.67*(s-i)+10,.67*s)--cycle); }
[/asy]
Prove that an $n$-staircase can be dissected into strictly smaller $n$-staircases.

For each fixed positiver integer $n$, $n\geq 4$ and $P$ an integer, let $(P)_n \in [1, n]$ be the smallest positive residue of $P$ modulo $n$. Two sequences $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k$ and $b_1, b_2, \dots, b_k$ with the terms in $[1, n]$ are defined as equivalent, if there is $t$ positive integer, gcd$(t,n)=1$, such that the sequence $(ta_1)_n, \dots, (ta_k)_n$ is a permutation of $b_1, b_2, \dots, b_k$.
Let $\alpha$ a sequence of size $n$ and your terms are in $[1, n]$, such that each term appears $h$ times in the sequence $\alpha$ and $2h\geq n$.

An airplane accelerates at $10$ mph per second and decelerates at $15$ mph/sec. Given that its takeoff speed is $180$ mph, and the pilots want enough runway length to safely decelerate to a stop from any speed below takeoff speed, what’s the shortest length that the runway can be allowed to be? Assume the pilots always use maximum acceleration when accelerating. Please give your answer in miles.
