Right triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $A.$ Points $D$ and $E$ respectively lie on $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BC}$ so that $\angle BDA \cong \angle CDE.$ If the lengths $DE,$ $DA,$ $DC,$ and $DB,$ in this order, form an arithmetic sequence of distinct positive integers, then the set of all possible areas of $\triangle ABC$ is a subset of the positive integers. Compute the smallest element in this set that is greater than $1000.$

A charge moves with velocity $1$ in a plane under the action of a strong magnetic field $B(x, y)$ perpendicular to the plane. To which side will the centre of the Larmor neighbourhood drift? Calculate the velocity of this drift (to a first approximation). [Mathematically, this concerns the curves of curvature $NB$ as $N\to + \infty$.]

Joel selected an acute angle $x$ (strictly between 0 and 90 degrees) and wrote the values of $\sin x$, $\cos x$, and $\tan x$ on three different cards. Then he gave those cards to three students, Malvina, Paulina, and Georgina, one card to each, and asked them to figure out which trigonometric function (sin, cos, or tan) produced their cards. Even after sharing the values on their cards with each other, only Malvina was able to surely identify which function produced the value on her card. Compute the sum of all possible values that Joel wrote on Malvina's card.

The intersection of arbitrary two diagonals will be called "button".Consider the convex quadrilaterals formed by four vertices of $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6A_7A_8$ and such convex quadrilaterals will be called "sub quadrilaterals".Find the smallest $n$ satisfying:
We can color n "button" such that for all $i,k \in\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\},i\neq k,s(i,k)$ are the same where $s(i,k)$ denote the number of the "sub quadrilaterals" has $A_i,A_k$ be the vertices and the intersection of two its diagonals is "button".
