A balloon filled with helium gas is tied by a light string to the floor of a car; the car is sealed so that the motion of the car does not cause air from outside to affect the balloon. If the car is traveling with constant speed along a circular path, in what direction will the balloon on the string lean towards?

Let $ p$ be an odd prime number and $ n$ a natural number. Then $ n$ is called $ p\minus{}partitionable$ if $ T\equal{}\{1,2,...,n \}$ can be partitioned into (disjoint) subsets $ T_1,T_2,...,T_p$ with equal sums of elements. For example, $ 6$ is $ 3$-partitionable since we can take $ T_1\equal{}\{ 1,6 \}$, $ T_2\equal{}\{ 2,5 \}$ and $ T_3\equal{}\{ 3,4 \}$.
$ (a)$ Suppose that $ n$ is $ p$-partitionable. Prove that $ p$ divides $ n$ or $ n\plus{}1$.
$ (b)$ Suppose that $ n$ is divisible by $ 2p$. Prove that $ n$ is $ p$-partitionable.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. A positive integer $n$ is called a $k$-good number if it satisfies
the following two conditions:
1. $n$ has exactly $2k$ digits in decimal representation (it cannot have leading zeros).
2. If the first $k$ digits and the last $k$ digits of $n$ are considered as two separate $k$-digit
numbers (which may have leading zeros), the square of their sum is equal to $n$.
For example, $2025$ is a $2$-good number because
\[(20 + 25)^2 = 2025.\]
Find all $3$-good numbers.

Bugs Bunny plays a game in the Euclidean plane. At the $n$-th minute $(n \geq 1)$, Bugs Bunny hops a distance of $F_n$ in the North, South, East, or West direction, where $F_n$ is the $n$-th Fibonacci number (defined by $F_1 = F_2 =1$ and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 3$). If the first two hops were perpendicular, prove that Bugs Bunny can never return to where he started.

Two circles in a plane intersect. $A$ is one of the points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from $A$ two points move with constant speed, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to $A$ simultaneously after one revolution. Prove that there is a fixed point $P$ in the plane such that the two points are always equidistant from $P.$

A permutation of $\{1, 2, \dots, 7\}$ is chosen uniformly at random. A partition of the permutation into contiguous blocks is correct if, when each block is sorted independently, the entire permutation becomes sorted. For example, the permutation $(3, 4, 2, 1, 6, 5, 7)$ can be partitioned correctly into the blocks $[3, 4, 2, 1]$ and $[6, 5, 7]$, since when these blocks are sorted, the permutation becomes $(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)$. Find the expected value of the maximum number of blocks into which the permutation can be partioned correctly.
