Eddie has a study block that lasts $1$ hour. It takes Eddie $25$ minutes to do his homework and $5$ minutes to play a game of Clash Royale. He can’t do both at the same time. How many games can he play in this study block while still completing his homework? [i]Proposed by Edwin Zhao[/i] [hide=Solution] [i]Solution.[/i] $\boxed{7}$ Study block lasts 60 minutes, thus he has 35 minutes to play Clash Royale, during which he can play $\frac{35}{5}=\boxed{7}$ games.

Amandine and Brennon play a turn-based game, with Amadine starting. On their turn, a player must select a positive integer which cannot be represented as a sum of multiples of any of the previously selected numbers. For example, if $3, 5$ have been selected so far, only $1, 2, 4, 7$ are available to be picked; if only $3$ has been selected so far, all numbers not divisible by three are eligible. A player loses immediately if they select the integer $1$. Call a number $n$ [i]feminist[/i] if $\gcd(n, 6) = 1$ and if Amandine wins if she starts with $n$. Compute the sum of the [i]feminist[/i] numbers less than $40$. [i]Proposed by Ashwin Sah[/i]

The vertices of a regular nonagon (9-sided polygon) are to be labeled with the digits $1$ through $9$ in such a way that the sum of the numbers on every three consecutive vertices is a multiple of $3$. Two acceptable arrangements are considered to be indistinguishable if one can be obtained from the other by rotating the nonagon in the plane.
