[b]p3.[/b] Three cars are racing: a Ford $[F]$, a Toyota $[T]$, and a Honda $[H]$. They began the race with $F$ first, then $T$, and $H$ last. During the race, $F$ was passed a total of $3$ times, $T$ was passed $5$ times, and $H$ was passed $8$ times. In what order did the cars finish?
[b]p4.[/b] There are $11$ big boxes. Each one is either empty or contains $8$ medium-sized boxes inside. Each medium box is either empty or contains $8$ small boxes inside. All small boxes are empty. Among all the boxes, there are a total of $102$ empty boxes. How many boxes are there altogether?
[b]p5.[/b] Ann, Mary, Pete, and finally Vlad eat ice cream from a tub, in order, one after another. Each eats at a constant rate, each at his or her own rate. Each eats for exactly the period of time that it would take the three remaining people, eating together, to consume half of the tub. After Vlad eats his portion there is no more ice cream in the tube. How many times faster would it take them to consume the tub if they all ate together?

Let $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ be a quadrilateral with no pair of parallel sides. For each $i=1, 2, 3, 4$, define $\omega_1$ to be the circle touching the quadrilateral externally, and which is tangent to the lines $A_{i-1}A_i, A_iA_{i+1}$ and $A_{i+1}A_{i+2}$ (indices are considered modulo $4$ so $A_0=A_4, A_5=A_1$ and $A_6=A_2$). Let $T_i$ be the point of tangency of $\omega_i$ with the side $A_iA_{i+1}$. Prove that the lines $A_1A_2, A_3A_4$ and $T_2T_4$ are concurrent if and only if the lines $A_2A_3, A_4A_1$ and $T_1T_3$ are concurrent.

There are two rows of seats with three side-by-side seats in each row. Two little boys, two little girls, and two adults sit in the six seats so that neither little boy sits to the side of either little girl. In how many different ways can these six people be seated?

In the triangle $ABC$, we have that $\angle BAC$ is acute. Let $\Gamma$ be the circle that passes through $A$ and is tangent to the side $BC$ at $C$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$ and let $D$ be the other point of intersection of $\Gamma$ with $AM$. If $BD$ cuts back to$ \Gamma$ at $E$, show that $AC$ is the bisector of $\angle BAE$.
$ABC$ is an equilateral triangle with side length $ 1$. $BCDE$ is a square. Some point $F$ is equidistant from $A, D$, and $E$. Find the length of $AF$.

An infinite sequence of integers, $a_0,a_1,a_2,\dots,$ with $a_0>0$, has the property that for $n\ge 0$, $a_{n+1}=a_n-b_n$, where $b_n$ is the number having the same sign as $a_n$, but having the digits written in the reverse order. For example if $a_0=1210,a_1=1089$ and $a_2=-8712$, etc. Find the smallest value of $a_0$ so that $a_n\neq 0$ for all $n\ge 1$.
Suppose an acute scalene triangle $ABC$ has incentre $I$ and incircle touching $BC$ at $D$. Let $Z$ be the antipode of $A$ in the circumcircle of $ABC$. Point $L$ is chosen on the internal angle bisector of $\angle BZC$ such that $AL = LI$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of arc $BZC$, and let $V$ be the midpoint of $ID$. Prove that $\angle IML = \angle DVM$
Denote by $\lambda (H)$ the Lebesgue outer measure of $H\subseteq \left[ 0,1\right]$. The horizontal and vertical sections of the set $A\subseteq [0, 1]\times [ 0, 1]$ are denoted by $A^y$ and $A_x$ respectively; that is, $A^y=\{ x\in [ 0, 1] \colon (x, y) \in A\}$ and $A_x=\{ y\in [ 0, 1]\colon (x,y)\in A\}$ for all $x,y\in [0,1]$.
(a) Is there a decomposition $A\cup B$ of the unit square $[0,1]\times [0,1]$ such that $A^y$ is the union of finitely many segments of total length less than $\frac12$ and $\lambda (B_x)\le \frac12$ for all $x, y\in [0,1]$?
(b) Is there a decomposition $A\cup B$ of the unit square $[0,1] \times [0,1]$ such that $A^y$ is the union of finitely many segments of total length not greater than $\frac12$ and $\lambda (B_x)<\frac12$ for all $x,y\in [0,1]$?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$, and let the tangency points of its incircle with its sides $AB$, $BC$, $CA$ be $C'$, $A'$ and $B'$ respectively. Prove that the circumcenters of $AIA'$, $BIB'$, and $CIC'$ are collinear.
While there do not exist pairwise distinct real numbers $a,b,c$ satisfying $a^2+b^2+c^2 = ab+bc+ca$, there do exist complex numbers with that property. Let $a,b,c$ be complex numbers such that $a^2+b^2+c^2 = ab+bc+ca$ and $|a+b+c| = 21$. Given that $|a-b| = 2\sqrt{3}$, $|a| = 3\sqrt{3}$, compute $|b|^2+|c|^2$.
[hide="Clarifications"]
[list]
[*] The problem should read $|a+b+c| = 21$. An earlier version of the test read $|a+b+c| = 7$; that value is incorrect.
[*] $|b|^2+|c|^2$ should be a positive integer, not a fraction; an earlier version of the test read ``... for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Find $m+n$.''[/list][/hide]

Points $A,B,C,D,E$ lie on a circle $\omega$ and point $P$ lies outside the circle. The given points are such that (i) lines $PB$ and $PD$ are tangent to $\omega$, (ii) $P, A, C$ are collinear, and (iii) $DE \parallel AC$. Prove that $BE$ bisects $AC$.
I am not a spammer, at least, this is the way I use to think about myself, and thus I will not open a new thread for the following problem from today's DeMO exam:
Let Q(n) denote the sum of the digits of a positive integer n. Prove that $Q\left(Q\left(Q\left(2005^{2005}\right)\right)\right)=7$.
[[b]EDIT:[/b] Since this post was split into a new thread, I comment:
The problem is completely analogous to the problem posted at http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=31409 , with the only difference that you have to consider the number $2005^{2005}$ instead of $4444^{4444}$.]

For every integer $ k \geq 2,$ prove that $ 2^{3k}$ divides the number
\[ \binom{2^{k \plus{} 1}}{2^{k}} \minus{} \binom{2^{k}}{2^{k \minus{} 1}}
\]
but $ 2^{3k \plus{} 1}$ does not.
