Let $ABC$ be a triangle whose angle at $A$ is right, and let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$. A variable point $M$ traces the interior of the minor arc $AB$ of the circle $ABC$. The internal bisector of the angle $DAM$ crosses $CM$ at $N$. The line through $N$ and perpendicular to $CM$ crosses the line $AD$ at $P$. Determine the locus of the point where the line $BN$ crosses the line $CP$. [i]* * *[/i]
An ant is crawling along the coordinate plane. Each move, it moves one unit up, down, left, or right with equal probability. If it starts at $(0,0)$, what is the probability that it will be at either $(2,1)$ or $(1,2)$ after $6$ moves? [i]2020 CCA Math Bonanza Individual Round #1[/i]

Lets say that a positive integer is $good$ if its equal to the the subtraction of two positive integer cubes. For example: $7$ is a $good$ prime because $2^3-1^3=7$. Determine how much the last digit of a $good$ prime may be worth. Give all the possibilities.
Let $n$, $(n \geq 3)$ be a positive integer and the set $A$={$1,2,...,n$}. All the elements of $A$ are randomly arranged in a sequence $(a_1,a_2,...,a_n)$.

Because J’s cheetahs are everywhere, they are now running away. A particularly unintelligent one starts to run in a $720$ mile loop at $80$ miles per hour. J immediately starts to chase after it, starting at the same point, at $10$ miles per hour at $12:00$ PM, but realizes one hour later that it would be more wise to turn around and run in the opposite direction in the loop, so he does this. Assuming both maintain a constant speed, at what time do J and the cheetah collide? Round to the nearest minute, and be sure to include AM or PM.
Two pirates divide the loot, consisting of two bags of coins and a diamond, according to the following rules. First the first pirate takes take a few coins from any bag and transfer them from this bag in the other the same number of coins. Then the second pirate does the same (choosing the bag from which he takes the coins at his discretion) and etc. until you can take coins according to these rules. The pirate who takes the coins last gets the diamond. Who will get the diamond if is each of the pirates trying to get it? Give your answer depending on the initial number of coins in the bags.
A shopper plans to purchase an item that has a listed price greater than $ \$100$ and can use any one of the three coupons. Coupon A gives $ 15\%$ off the listed price, Coupon B gives $ \$30$ the listed price, and Coupon C gives $ 25\%$ off the amount by which the listed price exceeds $ \$100$. Let $ x$ and $ y$ be the smallest and largest prices, respectively, for which Coupon A saves at least as many dollars as Coupon B or C. What is $ y\minus{}x$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 50\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 60\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 75\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 80\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 100$

For composite number $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the sum of the least three divisors of $n$, and $g(n)$ the sum of the greatest two divisors of $n$. Find all composite numbers $n$, such that $g(n)=(f(n))^m$ ($m\in N^*$).
A positive integer $a$ is said to [i]reduce[/i] to a positive integer $b$ if when dividing $a$ by its units digits the result is $b$. For example, 2015 reduces to $\frac{2015}{5} = 403$. Find all the positive integers that become 1 after some amount of reductions. For example, 12 is one such number because 12 reduces to 6 and 6 reduces to 1.
