Sam writes three $3$-digit positive integers (that don't end in $0$) on the board and adds them together. Jessica reverses each of the integers, and adds the reversals together. (For example, $\overline{XYZ}$ becomes $\overline{ZYX}$.)
What is the smallest possible positive three-digit difference between Sam's sum and Jessica's sum?

Starting from a positive integer $n$, we can replace the current number with a multiple of the current number or by deleting one or more zeroes from the decimal representation of the current number. Prove that for all values of $n$, it is possible to obtain a single-digit number by applying the above algorithm a finite number of times.
There is a nice solution to this...

Let $n$ be a positive integer. An $n-\emph{simplex}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is given by $n+1$ points $P_0, P_1,\cdots , P_n$, called its vertices, which do not all belong to the same hyperplane. For every $n$-simplex $\mathcal{S}$ we denote by $v(\mathcal{S})$ the volume of $\mathcal{S}$, and we write $C(\mathcal{S})$ for the center of the unique sphere containing all the vertices of $\mathcal{S}$.
Suppose that $P$ is a point inside an $n$-simplex $\mathcal{S}$. Let $\mathcal{S}_i$ be the $n$-simplex obtained from $\mathcal{S}$ by replacing its $i^{\text{th}}$ vertex by $P$. Prove that :
\[ \sum_{j=0}^{n}v(\mathcal{S}_j)C(\mathcal{S}_j)=v(\mathcal{S})C(\mathcal{S}) \]

All $10$-digit numbers consisting of digits $1, 2$ and $3$ are written one under the other. Each number has one more digit added to the right. $1$, $2$ or $3$, and it turned out that to the number $111. . . 11$ added $1$ to the number $ 222. . . 22$ was assigned $2$, and the number $333. . . 33$ was assigned $3$. It is known that any two numbers that differ in all ten digits have different digits assigned to them. Prove that the assigned column of numbers matches with one of the ten columns written earlier.

We say that a sextuple of positive real numbers $(a_1, a_2, a_3, b_1, b_2, b_3)$ is $\textit{phika}$ if $a_1 + a_2 + a_3 = b_1 + b_2 + b_3 = 1$.
(a) Prove that there exists a $\textit{phika}$ sextuple $(a_1, a_2, a_3, b_1, b_2, b_3)$ such that:
$$a_1(\sqrt{b_1} + a_2) + a_2(\sqrt{b_2} + a_3) + a_3(\sqrt{b_3} + a_1) > 1 - \frac{1}{2022^{2022}}$$
(b) Prove that for every $\textit{phika}$ sextuple $(a_1, a_2, a_3, b_1, b_2, b_3)$, we have:
$$a_1(\sqrt{b_1} + a_2) + a_2(\sqrt{b_2} + a_3) + a_3(\sqrt{b_3} + a_1) < 1$$

Let $A_1$ be the midpoint of the smaller arc $BC$ of the circumcircle of the acute-angled triangle $ABC.{}$ The point $A_1$ is reflected relative to the side $BC,$ and then its image is reflected relative to the bisector of $\angle BAC{}$ resulting in the point $A_2 $. Similarly, the points $B_2$ and $C_2$ are constructed. Prove that the circumcenter and incenter of the triangle $ABC{}$ lie on the Euler line of the triangle $A_2B_2C_2.$

Alistar wants to wreak havoc on Jhin's yard, which is a 2D plane of grass. First, he selects a number $n$, randomly and uniformly from $[0,1]$, and then he eats all grass within $n$ meters from where he's standing. He then moves 2 meters in a random direction, and repeats his process. He stops if any of the grass that he wants to eat (or, in other words, in his intended eating territory) is already eaten. Estimate the amount of grass Alistar is expected to eat. An estimate $E$ earns $\frac{2}{1+|A-E|}$ points, where $A$ is the actual answer.

A circle is divided into arcs of equal size by $n$ points ($n \ge 1$). For any positive integer $x$, let $P_n(x)$ denote the number of possibilities for colouring all those points, using colours from $x$ given colours, so that any rotation of the colouring by $ i \cdot \frac{360^o}{n}$ , where i is a positive integer less than $n$, gives a colouring that differs from the original in at least one point. Prove that the function $P_n(x)$ is a polynomial with respect to $x$.
