In $\triangle ABC$ with $AB=AC$, point $D$ lies strictly between $A$ and $C$ on side $\overline{AC}$, and point $E$ lies strictly between $A$ and $B$ on side $\overline{AB}$ such that $AE=ED=DB=BC$. The degree measure of $\angle ABC$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

The checkered plane is painted black and white, after a chessboard fashion. A polygon $\Pi$ of area $S$ and perimeter $P$ consists of some of these unit squares (i.e., its sides go along the borders of the squares).
Prove the polygon $\Pi$ contains not more than $\dfrac {S} {2} + \dfrac {P} {8}$, and not less than $\dfrac {S} {2} - \dfrac {P} {8}$ squares of a same color.

Cat and Claire are having a conversation about Cat's favorite number. Cat says, "My favorite number is a two-digit positive prime integer whose first digit is less than its second, and when you reverse its digits, it's still a prime number!"
Claire asks, "If you picked a digit of your favorite number at random and revealed it to me without telling me which place it was in, is there any chance I'd know for certain what it is?"
Cat says, "Nope! However, if I now told you the units digit of my favorite number, you'd know which one it is!"
Claire says, "Now I know your favorite number!" What is Cat's favorite number?

An $8\times 8$ chessboard is made of unit squares. We put a rectangular piece of paper with sides of length 1 and 2. We say that the paper and a single square overlap if they share an inner point. Determine the maximum number of black squares that can overlap the paper.

A quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in a circle. On each of the sides $AB,BC,CD,DA$ one erects a rectangle towards the interior of the quadrilateral, the other side of the rectangle being equal to $CD,DA,AB,BC,$ respectively. Prove that the centers of these four rectangles are vertices of a rectangle.

The picture below shows the way Juan wants to divide a square field in three regions, so that all three of them share a well at vertex $B$. If the side length of the field is $60$ meters, and each one of the three regions has the same area, how far must the points $M$ and $N$ be from $D$?
Note: the area of each region includes the area the well occupies.

3 countries $A, B, C$ participate in a competition where each country has 9 representatives. The rules are as follows: every round of competition is between 1 competitor each from 2 countries. The winner plays in the next round, while the loser is knocked out. The remaining country will then send a representative to take on the winner of the previous round. The competition begins with $A$ and $B$ sending a competitor each. If all competitors from one country have been knocked out, the competition continues between the remaining 2 countries until another country is knocked out. The remaining team is the champion.
