An entry in a grid is called a [i]saddle [/i] point if it is the largest number in its row and the smallest number in its column. Suppose that each cell in a $ 3 \times 3$ grid is filled with a real number, each chosen independently and uniformly at random from the interval $[0, 1]$. Compute the probability that this grid has at least one saddle point.

$n$ numbers are written down along the circumference. Their sum equals to zero, and one of them equals $1$. a) Prove that there are two neighbours with their difference not less than $n/4$. b) Prove that there is a number that differs from the arithmetic mean of its two neighbours not less than on $8/(n^2)$. c) Try to improve the previous estimation, i.e what number can be used instead of $8$? d) Prove that for $n=30$ there is a number that differs from the arithmetic mean of its two neighbours not less than on $2/113$, give an example of such $30$ numbers along the circumference, that not a single number differs from the arithmetic mean of its two neighbours more than on $2/113$.

A regular $n{}$-gon and a regular $m$-gon with distinct vertices are inscribed in the same circle. The vertices of these polygons divide the circle into $n+m$ arcs. Is it always possible to inscribe a regular $(n+m)$-gon in the same circle so that exactly one of its vertices is on each of these arcs?

A positive integer $n$ has the property that there are three positive integers $x, y, z$ such that $\text{lcm}(x, y) = 180$, $\text{lcm}(x, z) = 900$, and $\text{lcm}(y, z) = n$, where $\text{lcm}$ denotes the lowest common multiple. Determine the number of positive integers $n$ with this property.

Isabella's house has $ 3$ bedrooms. Each bedroom is $ 12$ feet long, $ 10$ feet wide, and $ 8$ feet high. Isabella must paint the walls of all the bedrooms.

Eva draws an equilateral triangle and its altitudes. In a first step she draws the center triangle of the equilateral triangle, in a second step the center triangle of this center triangle and so on. After each step Eva counts all triangles whose sides lie completely on drawn lines. What is the minimum number of center triangles she must have drawn so that the figure contains more than 2022 such triangles?

A decorative window is made up of a rectangle with semicircles at either end. The ratio of $AD$ to $AB$ is $3:2$. And $AB$ is 30 inches.

Find all pairs of integers $(c, d)$, both greater than 1, such that the following holds: For any monic polynomial $Q$ of degree $d$ with integer coefficients and for any prime $p > c(2c+1)$, there exists a set $S$ of at most $\big(\tfrac{2c-1}{2c+1}\big)p$ integers, such that \[\bigcup_{s \in S} \{s,\; Q(s),\; Q(Q(s)),\; Q(Q(Q(s))),\; \dots\}\] contains a complete residue system modulo $p$ (i.e., intersects with every residue class modulo $p$).
