Let $r$ and $b$ be positive integers. The game of [i]Monis[/i], a variant of Tetris, consists of a single column of red and blue blocks. If two blocks of the same color ever touch each other, they both vanish immediately. A red block falls onto the top of the column exactly once every $r$ years, while a blue block falls exactly once every $b$ years. (a) Suppose that $r$ and $b$ are odd, and moreover the cycles are offset in such a way that no two blocks ever fall at exactly the same time. Consider a period of $rb$ years in which the column is initially empty. Determine, in terms of $r$ and $b$, the number of blocks in the column at the end. (b) Now suppose $r$ and $b$ are relatively prime and $r+b$ is odd. At time $t=0$, the column is initially empty. Suppose a red block falls at times $t = r, 2r, \dots, (b-1)r$ years, while a blue block falls at times $t = b, 2b, \dots, (r-1)b$ years. Prove that at time $t=rb$, the number of blocks in the column is $\left\lvert 1+2(r-1)(b+r)-8S \right\rvert$, where \[ S = \left\lfloor \frac{2r}{r+b} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{4r}{r+b} \right\rfloor + ... + \left\lfloor \frac{(r+b-1)r}{r+b} \right\rfloor . \] [i]Proposed by Sammy Luo[/i]

In a group of $6$ people playing the card game Tractor, all $54$ cards from $3$ decks are dealt evenly to all the players at random. Each deck is dealt individually. Let the probability that no one has at least two of the same card be $X$. Find the largest integer $n$ such that the $n$th root of $X$ is rational.

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with $\angle BAD < \angle ADC$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of the arc $CD$ not containing $A$. Suppose there is a point $P$ inside $ABCD$ such that $\angle ADB = \angle CPD$ and $\angle ADP = \angle PCB$. Prove that lines $AD, PM$, and $BC$ are concurrent.

Let $x_0+\sqrt{2003}y_0$ be the minimum positive integer root of Pell function $x^2-2003y^2=1$. Find all the positive integer solutions $(x,y)$ of the equation, such that $x_0$ is divisible by any prime factor of $x$.

Let $ ABC$ be a non-equilateral triangle. Denote by $ I$ the incenter and by $ O$ the circumcenter of the triangle $ ABC$. Prove that $ \angle AIO\leq\frac{\pi}{2}$ holds if and only if $ 2\cdot BC\leq AB\plus{}AC$.

Let $P$ be a point on the median $AM$ of a triangle $ABC$. Suppose that the tangents to the circumcircles of $ABP$ and $ACP$ at $B$ and $C$ respectively meet at $Q$. Show that $\angle PAB = \angle CAQ$.

The number $2020!$ can be expressed as $7^k \cdot m$, where $k, m$ are integers and $m$ is not divisible by $7$. Find the remainder when $m$ is divided by $49$.

Canmoo is trying to do constructions, but doesn't have a ruler or compass. Instead, Canmoo has a device that, given four distinct points $A$, $B$, $C$, $P$ in the plane, will mark the isogonal conjugate of $P$ with respect to triangle $ABC$, if it exists. Show that if two points are marked on the plane, then Canmoo can construct their midpoint using this device, a pencil for marking additional points, and no other tools. (Recall that the [i]isogonal conjugate[/i] of $P$ with respect to triangle $ABC$ is the point $Q$ such that lines $AP$ and $AQ$ are reflections around the bisector of $\angle BAC$, lines $BP$ and $BQ$ are reflections around the bisector of $\angle CBA$, lines $CP$ and $CQ$ are reflections around the bisector of $\angle ACB$. Additional points marked by the pencil can be assumed to be in general position, meaning they don't lie on any line through two existing points or any circle through three existing points.)
