Let $ G$ be a finite group. For arbitrary sets $ U, V, W \subset G$, denote by $ N_{UVW}$ the number of triples $ (x, y, z) \in U \times V \times W$ for which $ xyz$ is the unity .
Suppose that $ G$ is partitioned into three sets $ A, B$ and $ C$ (i.e. sets $ A, B, C$ are pairwise disjoint and $ G = A \cup B \cup C$). Prove that $ N_{ABC}= N_{CBA}.$
Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with circumcircle $k$. A circle $q$ touches $k$ from outside in a point $D$, where the point $D$ on $k$ is chosen so that $D$ and $C$ lie on different sides of the line $AB$. We now draw tangent lines from $A,B$ and $C$ to the circle $q$ and denote the lengths of the respective tangent line segments by $a,b$ and $c$.
Prove that $a+b=c$.

Consider constructing a tower of tables of numbers as follows. The first table is a one by one array containing the single number $1$.
The second table is a two by two array formed underneath the first table and built as followed. For each entry, we look at the terms in the previous table that are directly up and to the left, up and to the right, and down and to the right of the entry, and we fill that entry with the sum of the numbers occurring there. If there happens to be no term at a particular location, it contributes a value of zero to the sum.

The diagram above shows how we compute the second table from the first.
The diagram below shows how to then compute the third table from the second.

For example, the entry in the middle row and middle column of the third table is equal the sum of the top left entry $1$, the top right entry $0$, and the bottom right entry $1$ from the second table, which is just $2$.
Similarly, to compute the bottom rightmost entry in the third table, we look above it to the left and see that the entry in the second table’s bottom rightmost entry is $1$. There are no entries from the second table above it and to the right or below it and to the right, so we just take this entry in the third table to be $1$.
We continue constructing the tower by making more tables from the previous tables. Find the entry in the third (from the bottom) row of the third (from the left) column of the tenth table in this resulting tower.

The Garfield Super Winners play $100$ games of foosball, in which teams score a non-negative integer number of points and the team with more points after ten minutes wins (if both teams have the same number of points, it is a draw). Suppose that the Garfield Super Winners score an average of $7$ points per game but allow an average of $8$ points per game. Given that the Garfield Super Winners never won or lost by more than $10$, what is the largest possible number of games that they could win?

$(a)$There are two sequences of numbers, with $2003$ consecutive integers each, and a table of $2$ rows and $2003$ columns
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline\ \ &\ &\ &\cdots\cdots&\ &\ \\ \hline \ &\ &\ &\cdots\cdots&\ &\ \\ \hline \end{array}$
Is it always possible to arrange the numbers in the first sequence in the first row and the second sequence in the second row, such that the sequence obtained of the $2003$ column-wise sums form a new sequence of $2003$ consecutive integers?
$(b)$ What if $2003$ is replaced with $2004$?
Will and Lucas are playing a game. Will claims that he has a polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients in mind, but Lucas doesn’t believe him. To see if Will is lying, Lucas asks him on minute $i$ for the value of $f(i)$, starting from minute $ 1$. If Will is telling the truth, he will report $f(i)$. Otherwise, he will randomly and uniformly pick a positive integer from the range $[1,(i+1)!]$. Now, Lucas is able to tell whether or not the values that Will has given are possible immediately, and will call out Will if this occurs. If Will is lying, say the probability that Will makes it to round $20$ is $a/b$. If the prime factorization of $b$ is $p_1^{e_1}... p_k^{e_k}$ , determine the sum $\sum_{i=1}^{k} e_i$.
Three disks of diameter $d$ are touching a sphere in their centers. Besides, every disk touches the other two disks. How to choose the radius $R$ of the sphere in order that axis of the whole figure has an angle of $60^\circ$ with the line connecting the center of the sphere with the point of the disks which is at the largest distance from the axis ? (The axis of the figure is the line having the property that rotation of the figure of $120^\circ$ around that line brings the figure in the initial position. Disks are all on one side of the plane, passing through the center of the sphere and orthogonal to the axis).
