Let $F_0 = 0, F_{1} = 1$, and for $n \ge 1, F_{n+1} = F_n + F_{n-1}$. Define $a_n = \left(\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^n \cdot F_n$ . Then there are rational numbers $A$ and $B$ such that $\frac{a_{30} + a_{29}}{a_{26} + a_{25}} = A + B \sqrt{5}$. Find $A + B$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Draw circles $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, and $\omega_C$ such that $\omega_A$ is tangent to $AB$ and $AC$, and $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ are defined similarly.

Given a triangle $ABC$ and a point $P_0$ on the side $AB$. Construct points $P_i, Q_i, R_i $ as follows. $Q_i$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $P_i$ to $BC, R_i$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $Q_i$ to $AC$ and $P_i$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $R_{i-1}$ to $AB$. Show that the points $P_i$ converge to a point $P$ on $AB$ and show how to construct $P$.
A particle is located on the coordinate plane at $ (5,0)$. Define a [i]move[/i] for the particle as a counterclockwise rotation of $ \pi/4$ radians about the origin followed by a translation of $ 10$ units in the positive $ x$-direction. Given that the particle's position after $ 150$ moves is $ (p,q)$, find the greatest integer less than or equal to $ |p|\plus{}|q|$.
Let $a,b,c$ be positive reals satisfying $a+b+c = \sqrt[7]{a} + \sqrt[7]{b} + \sqrt[7]{c}$. Prove that $a^a b^b c^c \ge 1$. [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

A boy at point $A$ wants to get water at a circular lake and carry it to point $B$. Find the point $C$ on the lake such that the distance walked by the boy is the shortest possible given that the line $AB$ and the lake are exterior to each other.
Let $N, P$ be the centers of the faces A$BB'A'$ and $ADD'A'$, respectively, of a right parallelepiped $ABCDA'B'C'D'$ and $M \in (A'C)$ such that $A'M= \frac13 A' C$. Prove that $MN \perp AB'$ and $ MP \perp AD' $ if and only if the parallelepiped is a cube.
In the accompanying figure, the outer square has side length 40. A second square S' of side length 15 is constructed inside S with the same center as S and with sides parallel to those of S. From each midpoint of a side of S, segments are drawn to the two closest vertices of S'. The result is a four-pointed starlike figure inscribed in S. The star figure is cut out and then folded to form a pyramid with base S'. Find the volume of this pyramid.

A $5\times5$ grid of squares is filled with integers. Call a rectangle [i]corner-odd[/i] if its sides are grid lines and the sum of the integers in its four corners is an odd number. What is the maximum possible number of corner-odd rectangles within the grid? Note: A rectangles must have four distinct corners to be considered [i]corner-odd[/i]; i.e. no $1\times k$ rectangle can be [i]corner-odd[/i] for any positive integer $k$.

This is the one with the 8 circles? I made each circle into the square in which the circle is inscribed, then calculated it with that. It got the right answer but I don't think that my method is truly valid...
There are $n$ rooms in a sauna, each has unlimited capacity. No room may be attended by a female and a male simultaneously. Moreover, males want to share a room only with males that they don't know and females want to share a room only with females that they know. Find the biggest number $k$ such that any $k$ couples can visit the sauna at the same time, given that two males know each other if and only if their wives know each other.
Show that there are nine distinct nonzero integers such that their sum is a perfect square and the sum of any eight of them is a perfect cube.

We consider an $n \times n$ ($n \in N, n \ge 2$) square divided into $n^2$ unit squares. Determine all the values of $k \in N$ for which we can write a real number in each of the unit squares such that the sum of the $n^2$ numbers is a positive number, while the sum of the numbers from the unit squares of any $k \times k$ square is a negative number.
