[u]Round 5[/u] [b]p13.[/b] Given a (not necessarily simplified) fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m, n > 6$ are positive integers, when $6$ is subtracted from both the numerator and denominator, the resulting fraction is equal to $\frac45$ of the original fraction. How many possible ordered pairs $(m, n)$ are there? [b]p14.[/b] Jamesu's favorite anime show has $3$ seasons, with $12$ episodes each. For $8$ days, Jamesu does the following: on the $n^{th}$ day, he chooses $n$ consecutive episodes of exactly one season, and watches them in order. How many ways are there for Jamesu to finish all $3$ seasons by the end of these $8$ days? (For example, on the first day, he could watch episode $5$ of the first season; on the second day, he could watch episodes $11$ and $12$ of the third season, etc.) [b]p15.[/b] Let $O$ be the center of regular octagon $ABCDEFGH$ with side length $6$. Let the altitude from $O$ meet side $AB$ at $M$, and let $BH$ meet $OM$ at $K$. Find the value of $BH \cdot BK$. [u]Round 6[/u] [b]p16.[/b] Fhomas writes the ordered pair $(2, 4)$ on a chalkboard. Every minute, he erases the two numbers $(a, b)$, and replaces them with the pair $(a^2 + b^2, 2ab)$. What is the largest number on the board after $10$ minutes have passed? [b]p17.[/b] Triangle $BAC$ has a right angle at $A$. Point $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$, and $P$ is the midpoint of $BM$. Point $D$ is the point where the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ meets $BC$.

What is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that an $n$ by $n$ square is legendary? [u]Round 7[/u] [b]p19.[/b] Let $S(n)$ be the sum of the digits of a positive integer $n$. Let $a_1 = 2019!$, and $a_n = S(a_{n-1})$. Given that $a_3$ is even, find the smallest integer $n \ge 2$ such that $a_n = an_1$. [b]p20.[/b] The local EMCC bakery sells one cookie for $p$ dollars ($p$ is not necessarily an integer), but has a special offer, where any non-zero purchase of cookies will come with one additional free cookie. With $\$27:50$, Max is able to buy a whole number of cookies (including the free cookie) with a single purchase and no change leftover. If the price of each cookie were $3$ dollars lower, however, he would be able to buy double the number of cookies as before in a single purchase (again counting the free cookie) with no change leftover. What is the value of $p$? [b]p21.[/b] Let circle $\omega$ be inscribed in rhombus $ABCD$, with $\angle ABC < 90^o$.

[b]p23.[/b] Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ have radii $1$ and $2$, respectively and are externally tangent to one another. Circle $\omega_3$ is externally tangent to both $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. Let $M$ be the common external tangent of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_3$ that doesn't intersect $\omega_2$. Similarly, let $N$ be the common external tangent of $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$ that doesn't intersect $\omega_1$. Given that $M$ and N are parallel, find the radius of $\omega_3$. [b]p24.[/b] Mana is standing in the plane at $(0, 0)$, and wants to go to the EMCCiffel Tower at $(6, 6)$. At any point in time, Mana can attempt to move $1$ unit to an adjacent lattice point, or to make a knight's move, moving diagonally to a lattice point $\sqrt5$ units away. However, Mana is deathly afraid of negative numbers, so she will make sure never to decrease her $x$ or $y$ values. How many distinct paths can Mana take to her destination? PS.

The paper folding art origami is usually performed with square sheets of paper. Someone folds the sheet once along a line through the center of the sheet in orde to get a nonagon. Let $p$ be the perimeter of the nonagon minus the length of the fold, i.e. the total length of the eight sides that are not folds, and denote by s the original side length of the square. Express the area of the nonagon in terms of $p$ and $s$.

Yan and Kirill play a game. At first Kirill says 4 numbers $x_1<x_2<x_3<x_4$, and then Yan says three pairwise different non zero numbers $a_1$, $a_2$ and $a_3$. For all $i$ from $1$ to $3$ they consider the quadratic trinomial $f_i(x)$ which has roots $x_i$ and $x_{i+1}$ and leading coefficient $a_i$, and construct on the plane the graphs of that trinomials. Yan wins if in every pair $(f_1(x),f_2(x))$ and $(f_2(x),f_3(x))$ their graphs intersect at exactly one point, and if in some pair graphs do not intersect or intersect at more than one point Kirill wins. Find which player can guarantee his win regardless of the actions of his opponent. [i]V. Kamianetski[/i]

Consider arrangements of the numbers $1$ through $64$ on the squares of an $8\times 8$ chess board, where each square contains exactly one number and each number appears exactly once. A number in such an arrangement is called super-plus-good, if it is the largest number in its row and at the same time the smallest number in its column. Prove or disprove each of the following statements: (a) Each such arrangement contains at least one super-plus-good number. (b) Each such arrangement contains at most one super-plus-good number.
