In a rectangular plot of land, a man walks in a very peculiar fashion. Labeling the corners $ABCD$, he starts at $A$ and walks to $C$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $AD$, say $A_1$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $CD$ say $C_1$, and then the midpoint of $A_1D$ which is $A_2$. He continues in this fashion, indefinitely. The total length of his path if $AB=5$ and $BC=12$ is of the form $a + b\sqrt{c}$. Find $\displaystyle\frac{abc}{4}$.

Consider the set of triangles with side lengths $1 \le x \le y \le z$ such that $x$, $y$, and $z$ are the solutions to the equation $t^3-at^2+bt = 12$ for some real numbers $a$ and $b$. Compute the smallest real number $N$ such that $N > ab$ for any choice of $x$, $y$, and $z$.

Ankit, Box, and Clark are playing a game. First, Clark comes up with a prime number less than 100. Then he writes each digit of the prime number on a piece of paper (writing $0$ for the tens digit if he chose a single-digit prime), and gives one each to Ankit and Box, without telling them which digit is the tens digit, and which digit is the ones digit. The following exchange occurs:
1. Clark: There is only one prime number that can be made using those two digits.
2. Ankit: I don't know whether I'm the tens digit or the ones digit.
3. Box: I don't know whether I'm the tens digit or the ones digit.
4. Box: You don't know whether you're the tens digit or the ones digit.
5. Ankit: I don't know whether you're the tens digit or the ones digit.
What was Clark's number?

The endpoints of a compass are at two lattice points of an infinite unit square
grid. It is allowed to rotate the compass around one of its endpoints, not varying
its radius, and thus move the other endpoint to another lattice point. Can the
endpoints of the compass change places after several such steps?

On an infinite chessboard, a solitaire game is played as follows: at the start, we have $n^2$ pieces occupying a square of side $n.$ The only allowed move is to jump over an occupied square to an unoccupied one, and the piece which has been jumped over is removed. For which $n$ can the game end with only one piece remaining on the board?

For $m\ge 3,$ a list of $\binom m3$ real numbers $a_{ijk}$ $(1\le i<j<k\le m)$ is said to be [i]area definite[/i] for $\mathbb{R}^n$ if the inequality \[\sum_{1\le i<j<k\le m}a_{ijk}\cdot\text{Area}(\triangle A_iA_jA_k)\ge0\] holds for every choice of $m$ points $A_1,\dots,A_m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n.$ For example, the list of four numbers $a_{123}=a_{124}=a_{134}=1, a_{234}=-1$ is area definite for $\mathbb{R}^2.$ Prove that if a list of $\binom m3$ numbers is area definite for $\mathbb{R}^2,$ then it is area definite for $\mathbb{R}^3.$

A square array of dots with $7$ rows and $7$ columns is given. Each dot is colored either blue or red. Whenever two dots of the same color are adjacent in the same row or column, they are joined by a line segment of the same color as the dots. If they are adjacent but of difference colors, they are then joined by a purple line segment. There are $20$ red line segments and $19$ blue line segments. Find the positive difference between the maximum and minimum number of red dots.

Let there be a tiger, William, at the origin. William leaps $ 1$ unit in a random direction, then leaps $2$ units in a random direction, and so forth until he leaps $15$ units in a random direction to celebrate PUMaC’s 15th year.
There exists a circle centered at the origin such that the probability that William is contained in the circle (assume William is a point) is exactly $1/2$ after the $15$ leaps. The area of that circle can be written as $A\pi$. What is $A$?

Each of 2010 boxes in a line contains a single red marble, and for $ 1 \le k \le 2010$, the box in the $ kth$ position also contains $ k$ white marbles. Isabella begins at the first box and successively draws a single marble at random from each box, in order. She stops when she first draws a red marble. Let $ P(n)$ be the probability that Isabella stops after drawing exactly $ n$ marbles. What is the smallest value of $ n$ for which $ P(n) < \frac {1}{2010}$?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=13,BC=15,AC=14$, circumcenter $O$, and orthocenter $H$, and let $M,N$ be the midpoints of minor and major arcs $BC$ on the circumcircle of $ABC$. Suppose $P\in AB, Q\in AC$ satisfy that $P,O,Q$ are collinear and $PQ||AN$, and point $I$ satisfies $IP\perp AB,IQ\perp AC$. Let $H'$ be the reflection of $H$ over line $PQ$, and suppose $H'I$ meets $PQ$ at a point $T$. If $\frac{MT}{NT}$ can be written in the form $\frac{\sqrt{m}}{n}$ for positive integers $m,n$ where $m$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, then find $100m+n$.
