For each permutation $ a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots,a_{10}$ of the integers $ 1,2,3,\ldots,10,$ form the sum \[ |a_1 \minus{} a_2| \plus{} |a_3 \minus{} a_4| \plus{} |a_5 \minus{} a_6| \plus{} |a_7 \minus{} a_8| \plus{} |a_9 \minus{} a_{10}|.\] The average value of all such sums can be written in the form $ p/q,$ where $ p$ and $ q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $ p \plus{} q.$

Prove that there are infinitely many ordered triples of positive integers $(a,b,c)$ such that the greatest common divisor of $a,b,$ and $c$ is $1$, and the sum $a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2$ is the square of an integer.

Isosceles trapezoid $ABCD$ has side lengths $AB = 6$ and $CD = 12$, while $AD = BC$. It is given that $O$, the circumcenter of $ABCD$, lies in the interior of the trapezoid. The extensions of lines $AD$ and $BC$ intersect at $T$. Given that $OT = 18$, the area of $ABCD$ can be expressed as $a + b\sqrt{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers where $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a+b+c$.

In a pond there are $n \geq 3$ stones arranged in a circle. A princess wants to label the stones with the numbers $1, 2, \dots, n$ in some order and then place some toads on the stones. Once all the toads are located, they start jumping clockwise, according to the following rule: when a toad reaches the stone labeled with the number $k$, it waits for $k$ minutes and then jumps to the adjacent stone. What is the greatest number of toads for which the princess can label the stones and place the toads in such a way that at no time are two toads occupying a stone at the same time? [b]Note:[/b] A stone is considered occupied by two toads at the same time only if there are two toads that are on the stone for at least one minute.

Cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ has circumcircle $(O)$. Points $M$ and $N$ are the midpoints of $BC$ and $CD$, and $E$ and $F$ lie on $AB$ and $AD$ respectively such that $EF$ passes through $O$ and $EO=OF$. Let $EN$ meet $FM$ at $P$. Denote $S$ as the circumcenter of $\triangle PEF$. Line $PO$ intersects $AD$ and $BA$ at $Q$ and $R$ respectively. Suppose $OSPC$ is a parallelogram. Prove that $AQ=AR$.

A [i]word[/i] is a finite sequence of letters from some alphabet. A word is [i]repetitive[/i] if it is a concatenation of at least two identical subwords (for example, $ababab$ and $abcabc$ are repetitive, but $ababa$ and $aabb$ are not). Prove that if a word has the property that swapping any two adjacent letters makes the word repetitive, then all its letters are identical. (Note that one may swap two adjacent identical letters, leaving a word unchanged.) [i]Romania (Dan Schwarz)[/i]

A sequence of numbers starts with $ 1$, $ 2$, and $ 3$. The fourth number of the sequence is the sum of the previous three numbers in the sequence: $ 1\plus{}2\plus{}3\equal{}6$. In the same way, every number after the fourth is the sum of the previous three numbers. What is the eighth number in the sequence? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 11 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 20 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 37 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 68 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 99$

Given trapezoid $ ABCD$ with parallel sides $ AB$ and $ CD$, assume that there exist points $ E$ on line $ BC$ outside segment $ BC$, and $ F$ inside segment $ AD$ such that $ \angle DAE \equal{} \angle CBF$.
