Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $O$ and orthocenter $H$ such that $OH$ is parallel to $BC$. Let $AH$ intersects again with the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $X$, and let $XB, XC$ intersect with $OH$ at $Y, Z$, respectively. If the projections of $Y,Z$ to $AB,AC$ are $P,Q$, respectively, show that $PQ$ bisects $BC$.

Richard and Shreyas are arm wrestling against each other. They will play $10$ rounds, and in each round, there is exactly one winner. If the same person wins in consecutive rounds, these rounds are considered part of the same “streak”. How many possible outcomes are there in which there are strictly more than $3$ streaks? For example, if we denote Richard winning by $R$ and Shreyas winning by $S,$ $SSRSSRRRRR$ is one such outcome, with $4$ streaks.

Baron and Peter are playing a game. They are given a simple finite graph $G$ with $n\ge 3$ vertex and $k$ edges that connects the vertices. First Peter labels two vertices A and B, and places a counter at A. Baron starts first. A move for Baron is move the counter along an edge. Peter's move is to remove an edge from the graph. Baron wins if he reaches $B$, otherwise Peter wins.
Given the value of $n$, what is the largest $k$ so that Peter can always win?

A $3\times2\times2$ right rectangular prism has one of its edges with length $3$ replaced with an edge of length $5$ parallel to the original edge. The other $11$ edges remain the same length, and the $6$ vertices that are not endpoints of the replaced edge remain in place. The resulting convex solid has $8$ faces, as shown below.
Find the volume of the solid.
