A large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. At a certain time the shadow of the sphere reaches out a distance of $10$ m from the point where the sphere touches the ground. At the same instant a meter stick (held vertically with one end on the ground) casts a shadow of length $2$ m. What is the radius of the sphere in meters? (Assume the sun's rays are parallel and the meter stick is a line segment.) $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{5}{2}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 9 - 4\sqrt{5}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 8\sqrt{10} - 23\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 6 - \sqrt{15}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 10\sqrt{5} - 20 $

Today is $26$ May $2021$. This date is traditionally in the form ($DD.MM.YYYY$), using $8$ digits, namely $26.05.2021$. Find the nearest day in the future when the traditional date writing will contain $8$ distinct digits.

$2009$ points have been marked on a circle. Lucía colors them with $7$ different colors of her choice. Then Ivan can join three points of the same color, thus forming monochrome triangles. Triangles cannot have points in common; not even vertices in common. Ivan's goal is to draw as many monochrome triangles as possible. Lucía's objective is to prevent Iván's task as much as possible through a good choice of colouring. How many monochrome triangles will Ivan get if they both do their homework to the best of their ability?

[b]p16.[/b] When not writing power rounds, Eric likes to climb trees. The strength in his arms as a function of time is $s(t) = t^3 - 3t^2$. His climbing velocity as a function of the strength in his arms is $v(s) = s^5 + 9s^4 + 19s^3 - 9s^2 - 20s$. At how many (possibly negative) points in time is Eric stationary? [b]p17[/b]. Consider a triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ with angles $\angle ACB = 60^o$, $\angle ABC = 45^o$.

Sasha has $10$ cards with numbers $1, 2, 4, 8,\ldots, 512$. He writes the number $0$ on the board and invites Dima to play a game. Dima tells the integer $0 < p < 10, p$ can vary from round to round. Sasha chooses $p$ cards before which he puts a “$+$” sign, and before the other cards he puts a “$-$" sign. The obtained number is calculated and added to the number on the board. Find the greatest absolute value of the number on the board Dima can get on the board after several rounds regardless Sasha’s moves.

Bread draws a circle. He then selects four random distinct points on the circumference of the circle to form a convex quadrilateral. Kwu comes by and randomly chooses another 3 distinct points (none of which are the same as Bread's four points) on the circle to form a triangle. Find the probability that Kwu's triangle does not intersect Bread's quadrilateral, where two polygons intersect if they have at least one pair of sides intersecting. [i]Proposed by Nathan Cho[/i]

A polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients is written on the blackboard. The teacher is a mathematician who has $3$ kids: Andrew, Beth and Charles. Andrew, who is $7$, is the youngest, and Charles is the oldest. When evaluating the polynomial on his kids' ages he obtains: [list]$f(7) = 77$ $f(b) = 85$, where $b$ is Beth's age, $f(c) = 0$, where $c$ is Charles' age.[/list] How old is each child?

$ 2007^2$ unit squares are arranged forming a $ 2007\times 2007$ table. Arnold and Bernold play the following game: each move by Arnold consists of taking four unit squares that forms a $ 2\times 2$ square; each move by Bernold consists of taking a single unit square. They play anternatively, Arnold being the first. When Arnold is not able to perform his move, Bernold takes all the remaining unit squares. The person with more unit squares in the end is the winner. Is it possible to Bernold to win the game, no matter how Arnold play?
