Given the positive real numbers $a_{1},a_{2},\dots,a_{n},$ such that $n>2$ and $a_{1}+a_{2}+\dots+a_{n}=1,$ prove that the inequality
\[
\frac{a_{2}\cdot a_{3}\cdot\dots\cdot a_{n}}{a_{1}+n-2}+\frac{a_{1}\cdot a_{3}\cdot\dots\cdot a_{n}}{a_{2}+n-2}+\dots+\frac{a_{1}\cdot a_{2}\cdot\dots\cdot a_{n-1}}{a_{n}+n-2}\leq\frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)^{2}}\]
does holds.

Before The World Cup tournament, the football coach of $F$ country will let seven players, $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_7$, join three training matches (90 minutes each) in order to assess them. Suppose, at any moment during a match, one and only one of them enters the field, and the total time (which is measured in minutes) on the field for each one of $A_1, A_2, A_3$, and $A_4$ is divisible by $7$ and the total time for each of $A_5, A_6$, and $A_7$ is divisible by $13$. If there is no restriction about the number of substitutions of players during each match, then how many possible cases are there within the total time for every player on the field?

Let $XY Z$ be a triangle with $\angle XY Z = 40^o$ and $\angle Y ZX = 60^o$. A circle $\Gamma$, centered at the point $I$, lies inside triangle $XY Z$ and is tangent to all three sides of the triangle. Let $A$ be the point of tangency of $\Gamma$ with $Y Z$, and let ray $\overrightarrow{XI}$ intersect side $Y Z$ at $B$. Determine the measure of $\angle AIB$.

Let $x_1,x_2,...,x_k$ be a sequence of integers. A rearrangement of this sequence (the numbers in the sequence listed in some other order) is called a [b]scramble[/b] if no number in the new sequence is equal to the number originally in its location. For example, if the original sequence is $1,3,3,5$ then $3,5,1,3$ is a scramble, but $3,3,1,5$ is not.
A rearrangement is called a [b]two-two[/b] if exactly two of the numbers in the new sequence are each exactly two more than the numbers that originally occupied those locations. For example, $3,5,1,3$ is a two-two of the sequence $1,3,3,5$ (the first two values $3$ and $5$ of the new sequence are exactly two more than their original values $1$ and $3$).
Let $n\geq 2$. Prove that the number of scrambles of $1,1,2,3,...,n-1,n$ is equal to the number of two-twos of $1,2,3,...,n,n+1$.
(Notice that both sequences have $n+1$ numbers, but the first one contains two 1s.)

Euler's formula states that for a convex polyhedron with $V$ vertices, $E$ edges, and $F$ faces, $V - E + F = 2$. A particular convex polyhedron has 32 faces, each of which is either a triangle or a pentagon. At each of its $V$ vertices, $T$ triangular faces and $P$ pentagonal faces meet. What is the value of $100P + 10T + V$?
