A terrain ( $ABCD$ ) has a rectangular trapezoidal shape. The angle in $A$ measures $90^o$. $AB$ measures $30$ m, $AD$ measures $20$ m and $DC$ measures 45 m. This land must be divided into two areas of the same area, drawing a parallel to the $AD$ side . At what distance from $D$ do we have to draw the parallel?

The numbers $1,2,3,\dots,1000$ are written on the board. Patya and Vassya are playing a game. They take turn alternatively erasing a number from the board. Patya begins. If after a turn all numbers (maybe one) on the board be divisible by a natural number greater than $1$ the player who last played loses. If after some number of steps the only remaining number on the board be $1$ then they call it a draw. Determine the result of the game if they both play their best.

Estimate the number of five-card combinations from a standard $52$-card deck that contain a pair (two cards with the same number). An estimate of $E$ earns $2e^{-\frac{\left|A-E\right|}{20000}}$ points, where $A$ is the actual answer. [i]2018 CCA Math Bonanza Lightning Round #5.1[/i]
