We call a tetrahedron a "trirectangular " if it has a vertex (we call this is called a "right-angled" vertex) in which the planes of the three sides of the tetrahedron intersect at right angles. Prove the "three-dimensional Pythagorean theorem": The square of the area of the opposite face of the "right-angled" vertex of the ""trirectangular " tetrahedron is equal to the sum of the squares of the areas of three other sides of the tetrahedron .

A rhombus $\mathcal R$ has short diagonal of length $1$ and long diagonal of length $2023$. Let $\mathcal R'$ be the rotation of $\mathcal R$ by $90^\circ$ about its center. If $\mathcal U$ is the set of all points contained in either $\mathcal R$ or $\mathcal R'$ (or both; this is known as the [i]union[/i] of $\mathcal R$ and $\mathcal R'$) and $\mathcal I$ is the set of all points contained in both $\mathcal R$ and $\mathcal R'$ (this is known as the [i]intersection[/i] of $\mathcal R$ and $\mathcal R'$, compute the ratio of the area of $\mathcal I$ to the area of $\mathcal U$.

Let $f : R \to R$, and let $P$ be a nonzero polynomial with degree no more than $2015$. For any nonnegative integer $n$, $f^{(n)}(x)$ denotes the function defined as $f$ composed with itself $n$ times. For example, $f^{(0)}(x) = x$, $f^{(1)}(x) = f(x)$, $f^{(2)}(x) = f(f(x))$, etc. Show that there always exists a real number $q$ such that $$f^{((2017^{2017})!)(q)} \ne (q + 2017)(qP(q) - 1).$$

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I.$ The incircle $\omega$ of $ABC$ is tangent to sides $BC, CA,$ and $AB$ at points $D, E,$ and $F,$ respectively. Let $D'$ be the reflection of $D$ over $I.$ Let $P$ be a point on $\omega$ such that $\angle{ADP}=90^\circ.$ $\mathcal{H}$ is a hyperbola passing through $D', E, F, I,$ and $P.$ Given that $\angle{BAD}=45^\circ$ and $\angle{CAD}=30^\circ,$ the acute angle between the asymptotes of $\mathcal{H}$ can be expressed as $\left(\tfrac{m}{n}\right)^\circ,$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n.$

Five cards labeled $1, 3, 5, 7, 9$ are laid in a row in that order, forming the five-digit number $13579$ when read from left to right. A swap consists of picking two distinct cards, and then swapping them. After three swaps, the cards form a new five-digit number n when read from left to right. Compute the expected value of $n$.

$N$ teams take part in a league. Every team plays every other team exactly once during the league, and receives 2 points for each win, 1 point for each draw, and 0 points for each loss. At the end of the league, the sequence of total points in descending order $\mathcal{A} = (a_1 \ge a_2 \ge \cdots \ge a_N )$ is known, as well as which team obtained which score. Find the number of sequences $\mathcal{A}$ such that the outcome of all matches is uniquely determined by this information. [I]Proposed by Dominic Yeo, United Kingdom.[/i]

1998 Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament, 1

Farmer Tim is lost in the densely-forested Cartesian plane. Starting from the origin he walks a sinusoidal path in search of home; that is, after $t$ minutes he is at position $(t,\sin t)$. Five minutes after he sets out, Alex enters the forest at the origin and sets out in search of Tim. He walks in such a way that after he has been in the forest for $m$ minutes, his position is $(m,\cos t)$. What is the greatest distance between Alex and Farmer Tim while they are walking in these paths?
