A group of $100$ students from different countries meet at a mathematics competition. Each student speaks the same number of languages, and, for every pair of students $A$ and $B$, student $A$ speaks some language that student $B$ does not speak, and student $B$ speaks some language that student $A$ does not speak. What is the least possible total number of languages spoken by all the students? $ \textbf{(A) }9 \qquad \textbf{(B) }10 \qquad \textbf{(C) }12 \qquad \textbf{(D) }51 \qquad \textbf{(E) }100 \qquad $

Let there be a tiger, William, at the origin. William leaps $ 1$ unit in a random direction, then leaps $2$ units in a random direction, and so forth until he leaps $15$ units in a random direction to celebrate PUMaC’s 15th year. There exists a circle centered at the origin such that the probability that William is contained in the circle (assume William is a point) is exactly $1/2$ after the $15$ leaps. The area of that circle can be written as $A\pi$. What is $A$?

An integer is called [i]autodivi [/i] if it is divisible by the two-digit number formed by its last two digits (tens and units). For example, $78013$ is autodivi as it is divisible by $13$, $8517$ is autodivi since it is divisible by $17$. Find $6$ consecutive integers that are autodivi and that have the digits of the units, tens and hundreds other than $0$.
