While out for a stroll, you encounter a vicious velociraptor. You start running away to the northeast at $ 10 \text{m/s}$, and you manage a three-second head start over the raptor. If the raptor runs at $ 15\sqrt{2} \text{m/s}$, but only runs either north or east at any given time, how many seconds do you have until it devours you?
Harry Potter is sitting $2.0$ meters from the center of a merry-go-round when Draco Malfoy casts a spell that glues Harry in place and then makes the merry-go-round start spinning on its axis. Harry has a mass of $\text{50.0 kg}$ and can withstand $\text{5.0} \ g\text{'s}$ of acceleration before passing out. What is the magnitude of Harry's angular momentum when he passes out? (A) $\text{200 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{330 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{660 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{1000 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$ (A) $\text{2200 kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{/s}$
Given a scalene triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ with orthocenter $H$. The midpoint of $BC$ is denoted by $M$. $AH$ intersects the circumcircle at $D \ne A$ and $DM$ intersects circumcircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ at $T\ne D$. Now, assume the reflection points of $M$ with respect to $AB,AC,AH$ are $F,E,S$. Show that the midpoints of $BE,CF,AM,TS$ are concyclic.

In a sports meeting a total of $m$ medals were awarded over $n$ days. On the first day one medal and $\frac{1}{7}$ of the remaining medals were awarded. On the second day two medals and $\frac{1}{7}$ of the remaining medals were awarded, and so on. On the last day, the remaining $n$ medals were awarded. How many medals did the meeting last, and what was the total number of medals ?
Three unit circles have a common point $O.$ The other points of (pairwise) intersection are $A, B$ and $C$. Show that the points $A, B$ and $C$ are located on some unit circle.
The line passing through vertex $A$ of triangle $ABC$ and parallel to $BC$ meets the circumcircle of $ABC$ for the second time at point $A_1$. Points $B_1$ and $C_1$ are defined similarly. Prove that the perpendiculars from $A_1, B_1, C_1$ to $BC, CA, AB$ respectively concur.

Show that there exists a point $P$ such that for any line $\ell$ not passing through $P$, if $\ell$ intersects circle $\omega_1$ at $A,B$ and $\ell$ intersects circle $\omega_2$ at $C,D$, where $A,C,D,B$ lie on $\ell$ in this order, then $\angle APC=\angle BPD$.

Given a finite sequence of real numbers $a_1,a_2,\dots ,a_n$ ($\ast$), we call a segment $a_k,\dots ,a_{k+l-1}$ of the sequence ($\ast$) a “[i]long[/i]”(Chinese dragon) and $a_k$ “[i]head[/i]” of the “[i]long[/i]” if the arithmetic mean of $a_k,\dots ,a_{k+l-1}$ is greater than $1988$. (especially if a single item $a_m>1988$, we still regard $a_m$ as a “[i]long[/i]”). Suppose that there is at least one “[i]long[/i]” among the sequence ($\ast$), show that the arithmetic mean of all those items of sequence ($\ast$) that could be “[i]head[/i]” of a certain “[i]long[/i]” individually is greater than $1988$.

The number $123454321$ is written on a blackboard. Evan walks by and erases some (but not all) of the digits, and notices that the resulting number (when spaces are removed) is divisible by $9$. What is the fewest number of digits he could have erased? [i]Ray Li[/i]

Adamand Topher are playing a game in which each of them starts with $2$ pickles. Each turn, they flip a fair coin: if it lands heads, Topher takes $1$ pickle from Adam; if it lands tails, Adam takes $2$ pickles from Topher. (If Topher has only $1$ pickle left, Adam will just take it.) What’s the probability that Topher will have all $4$ pickles before Adam does?
Three circles are constructed on the medians of a triangle as on diameters. It is known that they intersect in pairs. Let $C_1$ be the intersection point of the circles built on the medians $AM_1$ and $BM_2$, which is more distant from the vertex $C$. Points $A_1$ and $B_1$ are defined similarly. Prove that the lines $AA_1, BB_1$ and $CC_1$ intersect at one point. (D. Tereshin)
A star-polygon is drawn on a clock face by drawing a chord from each number to the firth number counted clockwise from that number. That is, chords are drawn from $ 12$ to $ 5,$ from $ 5$ to $ 10,$ from $ 10$ to $ 3,$ and so on, ending back at $ 12.$ What is the degree measure of the angle at each vertex in the star-polygon? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 20 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 24 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 30 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 36 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 60$
(A.Zaslavsky) Given two triangles $ ABC$, $ A'B'C'$. Denote by $ \alpha$ the angle between the altitude and the median from vertex $ A$ of triangle $ ABC$. Angles $ \beta$, $ \gamma$, $ \alpha'$, $ \beta'$, $ \gamma'$ are defined similarly. It is known that $ \alpha \equal{} \alpha'$, $ \beta \equal{} \beta'$, $ \gamma \equal{} \gamma'$. Can we conclude that the triangles are similar?
