Positive integers m and n are both greater than 50, have a least common multiple equal to 480, and have a
greatest common divisor equal to 12. Find m + n.
A pawn is placed on a square of a $ n \times n$ board. There are two types of legal
moves: (a) the pawn can be moved to a neighbouring square, which shares a common side with the current square; or (b) the pawn can be moved to a neighbouring square, which shares a common vertex, but not a common side with the current square. Any two consecutive moves must be of different type. Find all integers $ n \ge 2$, for which it is possible to choose an initial square and a sequence of moves such that the pawn visits each square exactly once (it is not required that the pawn returns to the initial square).
Points $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ lie on a circle. Let $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at point $E$ inside the circle. If $[ABE]\cdot[CDE]=36$, what is the value of $[ADE]\cdot[BCE]$? (Given a triangle $\triangle ABC$, $[ABC]$ denotes its area.)

In a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ we have $AB\cdot CD=BC\cdot DA$ and $2\angle A+\angle C=180^\circ$. Point $P$ lies on the circumcircle of triangle $ABD$ and is the midpoint of the arc $BD$ not containing $A$. It is known that the point $P$ lies inside the quadrilateral $ABCD$. Prove that $\angle BCA=\angle DCP$

Let $f(n)$ be the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of powers of $2$, where we keep track of the order of the summation. For example, $f(4)=6$ because $4$ can be written as $4$, $2+2$, $2+1+1$, $1+2+1$, $1+1+2$, and $1+1+1+1$. Find the smallest $n$ greater than $2013$ for which $f(n)$ is odd.
Real numbers $x$, $y$, and $z$ satisfy the inequalities
$$0<x<1,\qquad-1<y<0,\qquad\text{and}\qquad1<z<2.$$

Two distinct positive integers are called "relatively consistent" if the larger one can be written as a sum of some distinct positive divisors of the other one. Show that there exist 2018 positive integers such that any two of them are "relatively consistent"
Consider a circle $C_1$ and a point $O$ on it. Circle $C_2$ with center $O$, intersects $C_1$ in two points $P$ and $Q$. $C_3$ is a circle which is externally tangent to $C_2$ at $R$ and internally tangent to $C_1$ at $S$ and suppose that $RS$ passes through $Q$. Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are second intersection points of $PR$ and $OR$ with $C_1$. Prove that $QX$ is parallel with $SY$.
What is the smallest integer $n$, greater than one, for which the root-mean-square of the first $n$ positive integers is an integer?
$\mathbf{Note.}$ The root-mean-square of $n$ numbers $a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n$ is defined to be
\[\left[\frac{a_1^2 + a_2^2 + \cdots + a_n^2}n\right]^{1/2}\]
Find the maximum number of colors used in coloring integers $n$ from $49$ to $94$ such that if $a, b$ (not necessarily different) have the same color but $c$ has a different color, then $c$ does not divide $a+b$.
Prove that there exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\frac{4^n+2^n+1}{n^2+n+1}$ is a positive integer.
In a school six different courses are taught: mathematics, physics, biology, music, history, geography. The students were required to rank these courses according to their preferences, where equal preferences were allowed. It turned out that:
[list]
[*][b](i)[/b] mathematics was ranked among the most preferred courses by all students;
[*][b](ii)[/b] no student ranked music among the least preferred ones;
[*][b](iii) [/b]all students preferred history to geography and physics to biology; and
[*][b](iv)[/b] no two rankings were the same. [/list]
Find the greatest possible value for the number of students in this school.
Consider all quadrilaterals $ABCD$ such that $AB=14$, $BC=9$, $CD=7$, $DA=12$. What is the radius of the largest possible circle that fits inside or on the boundary of such a quadrilateral?

Lizzie writes a list of fractions as follows. First, she writes $\frac11$, the only fraction whose numerator and denominator add to $2$. Then she writes the two fractions whose numerator and denominator add to $3$, in increasing order of denominator. Then she writes the three fractions whose numerator and denominator sum to $4$ in increasing order of denominator. She continues in this way until she has written all the fractions whose numerator and denominator sum to at most $1000$. So Lizzie's list looks like:
$$\frac11, \frac21, \frac12 , \frac31 , \frac22, \frac13, \frac41, \frac32, \frac23, \frac14, ..., \frac{1}{999}.$$
Let $p_k$ be the product of the first $k$ fractions in Lizzie's list. Find, with proof, the value of $p_1 + p_2 + ...+ p_{499500}$.
If a polygon has both an inscribed circle and a circumscribed circle, then define the [i]halo[/i] of that polygon to be the region inside the circumcircle but outside the incircle. In particular, all regular polygons and all triangles have halos.

Paula the painter and her two helpers each paint at constant, but different, rates. They always start at $\text{8:00 AM}$, and all three always take the same amount of time to eat lunch. On Monday the three of them painted $50\%$ of a house, quitting at $\text{4:00 PM}$. On Tuesday, when Paula wasn't there, the two helpers painted only $24\%$ of the house and quit at $\text{2:12 PM}$. On Wednesday Paula worked by herself and finished the house by working until $\text{7:12 PM}$. How long, in minutes, was each day's lunch break?
