For some integer $n > 0$, a square paper of side length $2^{n}$ is repeatedly folded in half, right-to-left then bottom-to-top, until a square of side length 1 is formed. A hole is then drilled into the square at a point $\tfrac{3}{16}$ from the top and left edges, and then the paper is completely unfolded. The holes in the unfolded paper form a rectangular array of unevenly spaced points; when connected with horizontal and vertical line segments, these points form a grid of squares and rectangles. Let $P$ be a point chosen randomly from \textit{inside} this grid. Suppose the largest $L$ such that, for all $n$, the probability that the four segments $P$ is bounded by form a square is at least $L$ can be written in the form $\tfrac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive relatively prime integers. Find $m+n$.

We have $ n \geq 2$ lamps $ L_{1}, . . . ,L_{n}$ in a row, each of them being either on or off. Every second we simultaneously modify the state of each lamp as follows: if the lamp $ L_{i}$ and its neighbours (only one neighbour for $ i \equal{} 1$ or $ i \equal{} n$, two neighbours for other $ i$) are in the same state, then $ L_{i}$ is switched off; – otherwise, $ L_{i}$ is switched on. Initially all the lamps are off except the leftmost one which is on. $ (a)$ Prove that there are infinitely many integers $ n$ for which all the lamps will eventually be off. $ (b)$ Prove that there are infinitely many integers $ n$ for which the lamps will never be all off.

[u]Round 6[/u] [b]p16.[/b] Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 3$, $BC = 4$, and $CA = 5$. There exist two possible points $X$ on $CA$ such that if $Y$ and $Z$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $X$ to $AB$ and $BC,$ respectively, then the area of triangle $XY Z$ is $1$. If the distance between those two possible points can be expressed as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ for positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ with $b$ squarefree and $gcd(a, c) = 1$, then find $a +b+ c$. [b]p17.[/b] Let $f(n)$ be the number of orderings of $1,2, ... ,n$ such that each number is as most twice the number preceding it. Find the number of integers $k$ between $1$ and $50$, inclusive, such that $f (k)$ is a perfect square. [b]p18.[/b] Suppose that $f$ is a function on the positive integers such that $f(p) = p$ for any prime p, and that $f (xy) = f(x) + f(y)$ for any positive integers $x$ and $y$. Define $g(n) = \sum_{k|n} f (k)$; that is, $g(n)$ is the sum of all $f(k)$ such that $k$ is a factor of $n$. For example, $g(6) = f(1) + 1(2) + f(3) + f(6)$. Find the sum of all composite $n$ between $50$ and $100$, inclusive, such that $g(n) = n$. [u]Round 7[/u] [b]p19.[/b] AJ is standing in the center of an equilateral triangle with vertices labelled $A$, $B$, and $C$. They begin by moving to one of the vertices and recording its label; afterwards, each minute, they move to a different vertex and record its label. Suppose that they record $21$ labels in total, including the initial one. Find the number of distinct possible ordered triples $(a, b, c)$, where a is the number of $A$'s they recorded, b is the number of $B$'s they recorded, and c is the number of $C$'s they recorded. [b]p20.[/b] Let $S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (1- \{(2 + \sqrt3)^n\})$, where $\{x\} = x - \lfloor x\rfloor$ , the fractional part of $x$. If $S =\frac{\sqrt{a} -b}{c}$ for positive integers $a, b, c$ with $a $ squarefree, find $a + b + c$. [b]p21.[/b] Misaka likes coloring. For each square of a $1\times 8$ grid, she flips a fair coin and colors in the square if it lands on heads. Afterwards, Misaka places as many $1 \times 2$ dominos on the grid as possible such that both parts of each domino lie on uncolored squares and no dominos overlap. Given that the expected number of dominos that she places can be written as $\frac{a}{b}$, for positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $gcd(a, b) = 1$, find $a + b$. PS. You should use hide for answers.

Let \(n\) be a positive integer. The kingdom of Zoomtopia is a convex polygon with integer sides, perimeter \(6n\), and \(60^\circ\) rotational symmetry (that is, there is a point \(O\) such that a \(60^\circ\) rotation about \(O\) maps the polygon to itself). In light of the pandemic, the government of Zoomtopia would like to relocate its \(3n^2+3n+1\) citizens at \(3n^2+3n+1\) points in the kingdom so that every two citizens have a distance of at least \(1\) for proper social distancing. Prove that this is possible. (The kingdom is assumed to contain its boundary.) [i]Proposed by Ankan Bhattacharya, USA[/i]

Fames is playing a computer game with falling two-dimensional blocks. The playing field is $7$ units wide and infinitely tall with a bottom border. Initially the entire field is empty. Each turn, the computer gives Fames a $1\times 3$ solid rectangular piece of three unit squares. Fames must decide whether to orient the piece horizontally or vertically and which column(s) the piece should occupy ($3$ consecutive columns for horizontal pieces, $1$ column for vertical pieces). Once he confirms his choice, the piece is dropped straight down into the playing field in the selected columns, stopping all three of the piece's squares as soon as the piece hits either the bottom of the playing field or any square from another piece. All of the pieces must be contained completely inside the playing field after dropping and cannot partially occupy columns. If at any time a row of $7$ spaces is all filled with squares, Fames scores a point. Unfortunately, Fames is playing in [i]invisible mode[/i], which prevents him from seeing the state of the playing field or how many points he has, and he has already arbitrarily dropped some number of pieces without remembering what he did with them or how many there were. For partial credit, find a strategy that will allow Fames to eventually earn at least one more point. For full credit, find a strategy for which Fames can correctly announce "I have earned at least one more point" and know that he is correct.
