A ray of light comes in horizontally from air into the prism, and has the opportunity to leave the prism, at an angle $\theta$ with respect to the surface of the triangle. Find $\theta$ in degrees and round to the nearest whole number. [i](Ahaan Rungta, 5 points)[/i]

A group of $n$ people play a board game with the following rules: 1) In each round of the game exactly $3$ people play 2) The game ends after exactly $n$ rounds 3) Every pair of players has played together at least at one round Find the largest possible value of $n$
Let there be $2004$ be bicolor tiles, white on one side and black on the other, placed in a circle. A move consists of choosing a black piece and turning over three pieces: the chosen one, the one on its left and the one on its right. If at the beginning there is only one black piece, will it be possible, repeating the movement described, to make all the pieces have the white face up?
Find the minimum of the expression $\frac{a + b + c}{2} -\frac{[a, b] + [b, c] + [c, a]}{a + b + c}$ where the variables $a, b, c$ are any integers greater than $1$ and $[x, y]$ denotes the least common multiple of numbers $x, y$.
Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$. Segment $PQ$ is tangent to $\omega_1$ at $P$ and to $\omega_2$ at $Q$, and $A$ is closer to $PQ$ than $B$. Point $X$ is on $\omega_1$ such that $PX\parallel QB$, and point $Y$ is on $\omega_2$ such that $QY\parallel PB$. Given that $\angle APQ=30^\circ$ and $\angle PQA=15^\circ$, find the ratio $AX/AY$.
The princess wishes to have a bracelet with $r$ rubies and $s$ emeralds arranged in such order that there exist two jewels on the bracelet such that starting with these and enumerating the jewels in the same direction she would obtain identical sequences of jewels. Prove that it is possible to fulfill the princess’s wish if and only if $r$ and $s$ have a common divisor.
$100$ children stand in a line each having $100$ candies. In one move, one of them may take some of their candies and distribute them to a non-empty set of the remaining children. After what least number of moves can it happen that no two children have the same number of candies? [i](N.

Given is an integer $n \geq 1$ and an $n \times n$ board, whose all cells are initially white. Peter the painter walks around the board and recolors the visited cells according to the following rules. Each walk of Peter starts at the bottom-left corner of the board and continues as follows: - if he is standing on a white cell, he paints it black and moves one cell up (or walks off the board if he is in the top row); - if he is standing on a black cell, he paints it white and moves one cell to the right (or walks off the board if he is in the rightmost column). Peter’s walk ends once he walks off the board. Determine the minimum positive integer $s$ with the following property: after exactly $s$ walks all the cells of the board will become white again.
Let $P$ and $Q$ be points in the interior of a triangle $ABC$ such that $\angle APC = \angle AQB = 90^{\circ}$, $\angle ACP = \angle PBC$, and $\angle ABQ = \angle QCB$. Suppose that lines $BP$ and $CQ$ meet at a point $R$. Show that $AR$ is perpendicular to $PQ$.
