Let $ABCDE$ be a pentagon with area $2017$ such that four of its sides $AB, BC, CD$, and $EA$ have integer length. Suppose that $\angle A = \angle B = \angle C = 90^o$, $AB = BC$, and $CD = EA$. The maximum possible perimeter of $ABCDE$ is $a + b \sqrt{c}$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a + b + c$.

$200$ soldiers occupy in a rectangle (military call it a square and educated military a carree): $20$ men (per row) times $10$ men (per column). In each row, we consider the tallest man (if some are of equal height, choose any of them) and of the $10$ men considered we select the shortest (if some are of equal height, choose any of them). Call him $A$. Next the soldiers assume their initial positions and in each column the shortest soldier is selected, of these $20$, the tallest is chosen. Call him $B$. Two colonels bet on which of the two soldiers chosen by these two distinct procedures is taller: $A$ or $B$. Which colonel wins the bet?

Ankit wants to create a pseudo-random number generator using modular arithmetic. To do so he starts with a seed $x_0$ and a function $f(x) = 2x + 25$ (mod $31$). To compute the $k$-th pseudo random number, he calls $g(k)$ dened as follows:
$$g(k) = \begin{cases} x_0 \,\,\, \text{if} \,\,\, k = 0 \\
f(g(k- 1)) \,\,\, \text{if} \,\,\, k > 0 \end{cases}$$
If $x_0$ is $2017$, compute $\sum^{2017}_{j=0} g(j)$ (mod $31$).

Two non-intersecting circles, not lying inside each other, are drawn in the plane.
Two lines pass through a point P which lies outside each circle. The first line intersects the first circle at A and A′ and the second circle at B and B′; here A and B are closer to P than A′ and B′, respectively, and P lies on segment AB. Analogously, the second line intersects the first circle at C and C′ and the second circle at D and D′. Prove that the points A, B, C, D are concyclic if and only if the points A′, B′, C′, D′ are concyclic.

Triangle $ABC$ has circumcircle $\omega$. The angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ intersect $\omega$ at points $D$ and $E$ respectively. $DE$ intersects $BC$ and $AC$ at $X$ and $Y$ respectively.

Find $a+b+c.$

Given a chess-board $99\times 99$ with a set $F$ of fields marked on it (the set is different in three tasks). There is a beetle sitting on every field of the set $F$. Suddenly all the beetles have raised into the air and flied to another fields of the same set. The beetles from the neighbouring fields have landed either on the same field or on the neighbouring ones (may be far from their starting point). (We consider the fields to be neighbouring if they have at least one common vertex.) Consider a statement:
[i]"There is a beetle, that either stayed on the same field or moved to the neighbouring one".[/i]
Is it always valid if the figure $F$ is:
a) A central cross, i.e. the union of the $50$-th row and the $50$-th column?
b) A window frame, i.e. the union of the $1$-st, $50$-th and $99$-th rows and the $1$-st, $50$-th and $99$-th columns?
c) All the chess-board?
