[b]p13.[/b] Suppose $\overline{AB}$ is a radius of a circle. If a point $C$ is chosen uniformly at random inside the circle, what is the probability that triangle $ABC$ has an obtuse angle? [b]p14.[/b] Find the second smallest positive integer $c$ such that there exist positive integers $a$ and $b$ satisfying the following conditions: $\bullet$ $5a = b = \frac{c}{5} + 6$. $\bullet$ $a + b + c$ is a perfect square. [b]p15.[/b] A spotted lanternfly is at point $(0, 0, 0)$, and it wants to land on an unassuming CMU student at point $(2, 3, 4)$. It can move one unit at a time in either the $+x$, $+y$, or $+z$ directions. However, there is another student waiting at $(1, 2, 3)$ who will stomp on the lanternfly if it passes through that point. How many paths can the lanternfly take to reach its target without getting stomped? PS. You should use hide for answers.

A natural number $k$ is said $n$-squared if by colouring the squares of a $2n \times k$ chessboard, in any manner, with $n$ different colours, we can find $4$ separate unit squares of the same colour, the centers of which are vertices of a rectangle having sides parallel to the sides of the board. Determine, in function of $n$, the smallest natural $k$ that is $n$-squared.

A path from $ (0,0)$ to $ (n,n)$ on the lattice is made up of unit moves upward or rightward. It is balanced if the sum of the x-coordinates of its $ 2n\plus{}1$ vertices equals the sum of their y-coordinates. Show that a balanced path divides the square with vertices $ (0,0)$, $ (n,0)$, $ (n,n)$, $ (0,n)$ into two parts with equal area.

2002 China Team Selection Test, 3

Given positive integer $ m \geq 17$, $ 2m$ contestants participate in a circular competition. In each round, we devide the $ 2m$ contestants into $ m$ groups, and the two contestants in one group play against each other. The groups are re-divided in the next round. The contestants compete for $ 2m\minus{}1$ rounds so that each contestant has played a game with all the $ 2m\minus{}1$ players. Find the least possible positive integer $ n$, so that there exists a valid competition and after $ n$ rounds, for any $ 4$ contestants, non of them has played with the others or there have been at least $ 2$ games played within those $ 4$.
