Let $n = 6901$. There are $6732$ positive integers less than or equal to $n$ that are also relatively prime to $n$. Find the sum of the distinct prime factors of $n$.
$A, B$, and $C$ are vertices of a triangle, and $P$ is a point within the triangle. If angles $\angle BAP$, $\angle BCP$, and $\angle ABP$ are all $30^o$ and angle $\angle ACP$ is $45^o$, what is $\sin(\angle CBP)$?
On each square of an $n$x$n$ board sleeps a dragon. Two dragons are called neighbors if their squares have a side in common. Each turn, Minnie wakes up a dragon which has a living neighbor and Max directs it towards one of its living neighbors. The dragon than breathes fire on that neighbor and destroys it, and then goes back to sleep. Minnie's goal is to minimize the snoring of the dragons and leave as few living dragons as possible. Max is a member of PETD (People for the Ethical Treatment of Dragons), and he wants to save as many dragons as he can. How many dragons will stay alive at the end if 1. $n=4$? 2. $n=5$?
If a is a natural number, show that the number of positive integral solutions of the indeterminate equation $$x_1 + 2x_2 + 3x_3 + ... + nx_n = a \ \ (1) $$ is equal to the number of non-negative integral solutions of $$y_1 + 2y_2 + 3y_3 + ... + ny_n = a - \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \ \ (2)$$ [By a solution of equation (1), we mean a set of numbers $\{x_1, x_2,..., x_n\}$ which satisfies equation (1)].
Let $a,b,c,d>0$ . Prove that $a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4 \geq 4abcd+4(a-b)^2 \sqrt{abcd}$
Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with its incenter $I$. Suppose that $N$ is the midpoint of the arc $\overarc{BAC}$ of the circumcircle of triangle $\triangle ABC$, and $P$ is a point such that $ABPC$ is a parallelogram.Let $Q$ be the reflection of $A$ over $N$ and $R$ the projection of $A$ on $\overline{QI}$. Show that the line $\overline{AI}$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $\triangle PQR$ [i]Proposed by Patrik Bak - Slovakia[/i]
You have a $7\times 7$ board divided into $49$ boxes. Mateo places a coin in a box. a) Prove that Mateo can place the coin so that it is impossible for Emi to completely cover the $48$ remaining squares, without gaps or overlaps, using $15$ $3\times1$ rectangles and a cubit of three squares, like those in the figure.

In a board school, there are 9 subjects, 512 students, and 256 rooms (two people in each room.) For every student there is a set (a subset of the 9 subjects) of subjects the student is interested in. Each student has a different set of subjects, (s)he is interested in, from all other students. (Exactly one student has no subjects (s)he is interested in.) Prove that the whole school can line up in a circle in such a way that every pair of the roommates has the two people standing next to each other, and those pairs of students standing next to each other that are not roommates, have the following properties. One of the two students is interested in all the subjects that the other student is interested in, and also exactly one more subject.
Suppose that $n$ is a positive integer number. Consider a regular polygon with $2n$ sides such that one of its largest diagonals is parallel to the $x$-axis. Find the smallest integer $d$ such that there is a polynomial $P$ of degree $d$ whose graph intersects all sides of the polygon on points other than vertices. Proposed by Mohammad Ahmadi
Say that an ordered triple $(a, b, c)$ is [i]pleasing[/i] if (a) $a$, $b$, and $c$ are in the set $\{ 1, 2, \dots, 17 \}$, and (b) both $b - a$ and $c - b$ are greater than $3$, and at least one of them is equal to $4$. How many pleasing triples are there?
Kelvin the Frog has a pair of standard fair $8$-sided dice (each labelled from $1$ to $8$). Alex the sketchy Kat also has a pair of fair $8$-sided dice, but whose faces are labelled differently (the integers on each Alex's dice need not be distinct). To Alex's dismay, when both Kelvin and Alex roll their dice, the probability that they get any given sum is equal! Suppose that Alex's two dice have $a$ and $b$ total dots on them, respectively. Assuming that $a \neq b$, find all possible values of $\min \{a,b\}$.
Let $H$ be a subgroup with $h$ elements in a group $G.$ Suppose that $G$ has an element $a$ such that for all $x$ in $H,$ $(xa)^3=1,$ the identity.

(b) Show that, in fact, $P$ has no more that $3h^2$ elements.

A parallelogram of paper with sides $25$ and $10$ is given. The distance between the longer sides is $6$. The paper should be cut into exactly two parts in such a way that one can stick both the pieces together and fold it in a suitable manner to form a cube of suitable edge length without any further cuts and overlaps. Show that it is really possible and describe such a fragmentation.
