The pressure $ (P)$ of wind on a sail varies jointly as the area $ (A)$ of the sail and the square of the velocity $ (V)$ of the wind. The pressure on a square foot is $ 1$ pound when the velocity is $ 16$ miles per hour. The velocity of the wind when the pressure on a square yard is $ 36$ pounds is:
$ \textbf{(A)}\ 10\frac {2}{3} \text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 96 \text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 32\text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 1\frac {2}{3} \text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 16 \text{ mph}$

Let $D$ be the set of all pairs $(i,j)$, $1\le i,j\le n$. Prove there exists a subset $S \subset D$, with $|S|\ge\left \lfloor\frac{3n(n+1)}{5}\right \rfloor$, such that for any $(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2) \in S$ we have $(x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2) \not \in S$.

Let $A_1A_2... A_{2n + 1}$ be a convex polygon, $a_1 = A_1A_2$, $a_2 = A_2A_3$, $...$, $a_{2n} = A_{2n}A_{2n + 1}$, $a_{2n + 1} = A_{2n + 1}A_1$. Denote by: $\alpha_i = \angle A_i$, $1 \le i \le 2n + 1$, $\alpha_{k + 2n + 1} = \alpha_k$, $k \ge 1$, $ \beta_i = \alpha_{i + 2} + \alpha_{i + 4} +... + \alpha_{i + 2n}$, $1 \le i \le 2n + 1$. Prove what if
$$\frac{\alpha_1}{\sin \beta_1}=\frac{\alpha_2}{\sin \beta_2}=...=\frac{\alpha_{2n+1}}{\sin \beta_{2n+1}}$$
then a circle can be circumscribed around this polygon.
Does the inverse statement hold a place?

For the Dürer final results announcement, four loudspeakers are used to provide sound in the hall. However, there are only two sockets in the wall from which the power comes. To solve the problem, Ádám got two extension cords and two power strips. One plug can be plugged into an extension cord, and two plugs can be plugged into a power strip. Gábor, in his haste before the announcement of the results, quickly plugs the $8$ plugs into the $8$ holes. Every possible way of plugging has the same probability, and it is also possible for Gábor to plug something into itself. What is the probability that all $4$ speakers will have sound at the results announcement? For the solution, give the sum of the numerator and the denominator in the simplified form of the probability. A speaker sounds when it is plugged directly or indirectly into the wall.

The Fibonacci sequence is the list of numbers that begins $1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13$ and continues with each subsequent number being the sum of the previous two.
Prove that for every positive integer $n$ when the first $n$ elements of the Fibonacci sequence are alternately added and subtracted, the result is an element of the sequence or the negative of an element of the sequence.
For example, when $n = 4$ we have $1-2+3-5 = -3$ and $3$ is an element of the Fibonacci sequence.

All $n+3$ offices of University of Somewhere are numbered with numbers $0,1,2, \ldots ,$ $n+1,$ $n+2$ for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$. One day, Professor $D$ came up with a polynomial with real coefficients and power $n$. Then, on the door of every office he wrote the value of that polynomial evaluated in the number assigned to that office. On the $i$th office, for $i$ $\in$ $\{0,1, \ldots, n+1 \}$ he wrote $2^i$ and on the $(n+2)$th office he wrote $2^{n+2}$ $-n-3$.
