Amandine and Brennon play a turn-based game, with Amadine starting. On their turn, a player must select a positive integer which cannot be represented as a sum of multiples of any of the previously selected numbers. For example, if $3, 5$ have been selected so far, only $1, 2, 4, 7$ are available to be picked; if only $3$ has been selected so far, all numbers not divisible by three are eligible. A player loses immediately if they select the integer $1$. Call a number $n$ [i]feminist[/i] if $\gcd(n, 6) = 1$ and if Amandine wins if she starts with $n$. Compute the sum of the [i]feminist[/i] numbers less than $40$. [i]Proposed by Ashwin Sah[/i]

Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB=AC$ and $\angle BAC$ is obtuse. Point $O$ is the circumcenter of triangle $ABC$, and $M$ is the reflection of $A$ in $BC$. Let $D$ be an arbitrary point on line $BC$, such that $B$ is in between $D$ and $C$. Line $DM$ cuts the circumcircle of $ABC$ in $E,F$. Circumcircles of triangles $ADE$ and $ADF$ cut $BC$ in $P,Q$ respectively. Prove that $DA$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $OPQ$.

Let $m, n \ge 2$ be integers. Carl is given $n$ marked points in the plane and wishes to mark their centroid.* He has no standard compass or straightedge. Instead, he has a device which, given marked points $A$ and $B$, marks the $m-1$ points that divide segment $\overline{AB}$ into $m$ congruent parts (but does not draw the segment). For which pairs $(m,n)$ can Carl necessarily accomplish his task, regardless of which $n$ points he is given? *Here, the [i]centroid[/i] of $n$ points with coordinates $(x_1, y_1), \dots, (x_n, y_n)$ is the point with coordinates $\left( \frac{x_1 + \dots + x_n}{n}, \frac{y_1 + \dots + y_n}{n}\right)$.

They began the race with $F$ first, then $T$, and $H$ last. During the race, $F$ was passed a total of $3$ times, $T$ was passed $5$ times, and $H$ was passed $8$ times. In what order did the cars finish? [b]p4.[/b] There are $11$ big boxes. Each one is either empty or contains $8$ medium-sized boxes inside. Each medium box is either empty or contains $8$ small boxes inside. All small boxes are empty. Among all the boxes, there are a total of $102$ empty boxes. How many boxes are there altogether? [b]p5.[/b] Ann, Mary, Pete, and finally Vlad eat ice cream from a tub, in order, one after another. Each eats at a constant rate, each at his or her own rate. Each eats for exactly the period of time that it would take the three remaining people, eating together, to consume half of the tub. After Vlad eats his portion there is no more ice cream in the tube. How many times faster would it take them to consume the tub if they all ate together? PS. You should use hide for answers.

Nine distinct positive integers summing to $74$ are put into a $3 \times 3$ grid. Simultaneously, the number in each cell is replaced with the sum of the numbers in its adjacent cells. (Two cells are adjacent if they share an edge.) After this, exactly four of the numbers in the grid are $23$. Determine, with proof, all possible numbers that could have been originally in the center of the grid.

There are $n>1$ cities in Jansonland, with two-way roads joining certain pairs of cities. Janson will send a few robots one-by-one to build more roads. The robots operate as such: 1. Janson first selects an integer $k$ and a list of cities $a_0, a_1, \dots, a_k$ (cities can repeat). 2. The robot begins at $a_0$ and goes to $a_1$, then $a_2$, and so on until $a_k$. 3. When the robot goes from $a_i$ to $a_{i+1}$, if there is no road then the robot builds a road, but if there is a road then the robot destroys the road. In terms of $n$, determine the smallest constant $k$ such that Janson can always achieve a configuration such that every pair of cities has a road connecting them using no more than $k$ robots.

A one-player game is played as follows: There is a bowl at each integer on the $Ox$-axis. All the bowls are initially empty, except for that at the origin, which contains $n \geq 2$ stones. A move is either (A) to remove two stones from a bowl and place one in each of the two adjacent bowls, or (B) to remove a stone from each of two adjacent bowls and to add one stone to the bowl immediately to their left. Show that only a finite number of moves can be made and that the final position (when no more moves are possible) is independent of the moves made (for a given $n$).

A palindrome in base $b$ is a positive integer whose base-$b$ digits read the same backwards and forwards; for example, $2002$ is a $4$-digit palindrome in base $10$. Note that $200$ is not a palindrome in base $10$, but it is a $3$-digit palindrome: $242$ in base $9$, and $404$ in base $7$. Prove that there is an integer which is a $3$-digit palindrome in base $b$ for at least $2002$ different values of $b$.
