A positive integer $n$ not exceeding $100$ is chosen in such a way that if $n\le 50$, then the probability of choosing $n$ is $p$, and if $n > 50$, then the probability of choosing $n$ is $3p$. The probability that a perfect square is chosen is

A $6\times6$ square is given, and a quadratic trinomial with a positive leading coefficient is placed in each of its cells. There are $108$ coefficents in total, and these coefficents are chosen from the set $[-66;47]$, and each coefficient is different from each other. Prove that there exists at least one column such that the polynomial you get by summing the six trinomials in that column has a real root.
Square $ABCD$ is divided into $n^2$ equal small squares by lines parallel to its sides.A spider starts from $A$ and moving only rightward or upwards,tries to reach $C$.Every "movement" of the spider consists of $k$ steps rightward and $m$ steps upwards or $m$ steps rightward and $k$ steps upwards(it can follow any possible order for the steps of each "movement").The spider completes $l$ "movements" and afterwards it moves without limitation (it still moves rightwards and upwards only).If $n=m\cdot l$,find the number of the possible paths the spider can follow to reach $C$.Note that $n,m,k,l\in \mathbb{N^{*}}$ with $k<m$.
Given an $n \times n \times n$ grid of unit cubes, a cube is [i]good[/i] if it is a sub-cube of the grid and has side length at least two. If a good cube contains another good cube and their faces do not intersect, the first good cube is said to [i]properly[/i] contain the second. What is the size of the largest possible set of good cubes such that no cube in the set properly contains another cube in the set?

For every positive integer $n$ we define $a_{n}$ as the last digit of the sum $1+2+\cdots+n$. Compute $a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{1992}$.
The diagonals $AC,BD$ of the quadrilateral $ABCD$ intersect at $E$. Let $M,N$ be the midpoints of $AB,CD$ respectively. Let the perpendicular bisectors of the segments $AB,CD$ meet at $F$. Suppose that $EF$ meets $BC,AD$ at $P,Q$ respectively. If $MF\cdot CD=NF\cdot AB$ and $DQ\cdot BP=AQ\cdot CP$, prove that $PQ\perp BC$.

(1) Find the possible number of roots for the equation $|x + 1| + |x + 2| + |x + 3| = a$, where $x \in R$ and $a$ is parameter.
(2) Let $\{ a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \}$ be an arithmetic progression, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and satisfy the condition

Let $O$ be a point inside a triangle $ABC$ and let the lines $AO,BO$, and $CO$ meet sides $BC,CA$, and $AB$ at points $A_1,B_1$, and $C_1$, respectively. If $AA_1$ is the longest among the segments $AA_1,BB_1,CC_1$, prove that

Suppose $l(M, XYZ)$ is a Simson line of the triangle $XYZ$ that passes through $M$.
Suppose $ABCDEF$ is a cyclic hexagon such that $l(A, BDF), l(B, ACE), l(D, ABF), l(E, ABC)$ intersect at a single point. Prove that $CDEF$ is a rectangle.
[color=blue]Should the first sentence read:
Suppose $l(M, XYZ)$ is a Simson line of the triangle $XYZ$ [u]with respect to[/u] $M$.
? Since it appears weird that a Simson line that passes a point is to be constructed. However, this is Unsolved after all, so I'm not sure.[/color]

Kelvin the Frog places $40$ rooks on a uniformly random subset of $40$ squares of a $20 \times 20$ chessboard. Then, Alex the Kat chooses two of the $40$ rooks uniformly at random. What is the probability that Alex's two rooks attack each other? Two rooks attack each other if they are on the same row or column, and no piece stands between them.
