In the figure, $\triangle ABC$ has $\angle A =45^{\circ}$ and $\angle B =30^{\circ}$. A line $DE$, with $D$ on $AB$ and $\angle ADE =60^{\circ}$, divides $\triangle ABC$ into two pieces of equal area. (Note: the figure may not be accurate; perhaps $E$ is on $CB$ instead of $AC$.) The ratio $\frac{AD}{AB}$ is [asy] size((220)); draw((0,0)--(20,0)--(7,6)--cycle); draw((6,6)--(10,-1)); label("A", (0,0), W); label("B", (20,0), E); label("C", (7,6), NE); label("D", (9.5,-1), W); label("E", (5.9, 6.1), SW); label("$45^{\circ}$", (2.5,.5)); label("$60^{\circ}$", (7.8,.5)); label("$30^{\circ}$", (16.5,.5)); [/asy] $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{2}{2+\sqrt{2}} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{6}} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{12}} $

Three spheres $S_1,S_2$ and $S_3$ with centers $O_1, O_2,$ and $O_3,$ respectively, are located on the same side of the plane $\mathcal P$ in such a way that $S_i$ is tangent to $\mathcal P$ at $A_i$ for $i = 1, 2, 3.$ Assume $S_1, S_2, S_3$ are pairwise externally tangent. Find the area of triangle $O_1O_2O_3.$

Let $\omega$ be a circle with positive integer radius $r$. Suppose that it is possible to draw isosceles triangle with integer side lengths inscribed in $\omega$. Compute the number of possible values of $r$ where $1 \le r \le 2023^2$. Submit your answer as a positive integer $E$. If the correct answer is $A$, your score for this question will be $\max \left( 0, 25\left(3 - 2 \max \left( \frac{A}{E} , \frac{E}{A}\right)\right)\right)$, rounded to the nearest integer.

Fiona has a deck of cards labelled $1$ to $n$, laid out in a row on the table in order from $1$ to $n$ from left to right. Her goal is to arrange them in a single pile, through a series of steps of the following form: [list] [*]If at some stage the cards are in $m$ piles, she chooses $1\leq k<m$ and arranges the cards into $k$ piles by picking up pile $k+1$ and putting it on pile $1$; picking up pile $k+2$ and putting it on pile $2$; and so on, working from left to right and cycling back through as necessary. [/list] She repeats the process until the cards are in a single pile, and then stops. So for example, if $n=7$ and she chooses $k=3$ at the first step she would have the following three piles: $ \begin{matrix} 7 & \ &\ \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 1 &2 & 3 \\ \hline \end{matrix} $ If she then chooses $k=1$ at the second stop, she finishes with the cards in a single pile with cards ordered $6352741$ from top to bottom. How many different final piles can Fiona end up with?
