Find the mathematical expectation of the area of the projection of a cube with edge of length $1$ onto a plane with an isotropically distributed random direction of projection.

Determine what day of the week day was: June $6$, $1944$. Note: Leap years are those that are multiples of $4$ and do not end in $00$ or that are multiples of $400$, for example $1812$, $1816$, $1820$, $1600$, $2000$, but $1800$, $1810$, $2100$ are not leaps. Giving the answer without any mathematical justification will not award points.

At least how many regular triangles are needed to cover the lines of the following diagram? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/e/3/4de2ed2c7cc9421d7d060f0bc537ccaa3838fc.png[/img] (Only the perimeter of the triangles is involved in the covering, and the entire perimeter need not be incident on the diagram.)

Positive real numbers $a_1, \dots, a_k, b_1, \dots, b_k$ are given. Let $A = \sum_{i = 1}^k a_i, B = \sum_{i = 1}^k b_i$. Prove the inequality \[ \left( \sum_{i = 1}^k \frac{a_i b_i}{a_i B + b_i A} - 1 \right)^2 \ge \sum_{i = 1}^k \frac{a_i^2}{a_i B + b_i A} \cdot \sum_{i = 1}^k \frac{b_i^2}{a_i B + b_i A}. \]

Alice is performing a magic trick. She has a standard deck of 52 cards, which she may order beforehand. She invites a volunteer to pick an integer \(0\le n\le 52\), and cuts the deck into a pile with the top \(n\) cards and a pile with the remaining \(52-n\). She then gives both piles to the volunteer, who riffles them together and hands the deck back to her face down. (Thus, in the resulting deck, the cards that were in the deck of size \(n\) appear in order, as do the cards that were in the deck of size \(52-n\).) Alice then flips the cards over one-by-one from the top. Before flipping over each card, she may choose to guess the color of the card she is about to flip over. She stops if she guesses incorrectly. What is the maximum number of correct guesses she can guarantee? [i]Proposed by Espen Slettnes[/i]

Dua has all the odd natural numbers less than 20. Asija has all the even numbers less than 21. They play the following game. In each round, they take a number from each other and after every round, they may fix two or more consecutive numbers so that their opponent cannot take these fixed numbers in the next round. The game is won by the player who attains 10 consecutive numbers first. Does either player have a winning strategy?

A square has coordinates at $(0, 0)$, $(4, 0)$, $(0, 4)$, and $(4, 4)$. Rohith is interested in circles of radius $ r$ centered at the point $(1, 2)$. There is a range of radii $a < r < b$ where Rohith’s circle intersects the square at exactly $6$ points, where $a$ and $b$ are positive real numbers. Then $b - a$ can be written in the form $m +\sqrt{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are integers. Compute $m + n$.

We say that a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is $k$-[i]almost contained[/i] by a hyperplane if there are less than $k$ points in that set which do not belong to the hyperplane. We call a finite set of points $k$-[i]generic[/i] if there is no hyperplane that $k$-almost contains the set. For each pair of positive integers $(k, n)$, find the minimal number of $d(k, n)$ such that every finite $k$-generic set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a $k$-generic subset with at most $d(k, n)$ elements.
