Let $p{}$ be a fixed prime number. Juku and Miku play the following game. One of the players chooses a natural number $a$ such that $a>1$ and $a$ is not divisible by $p{}$, his opponent chooses any natural number $n{}$ such that $n>1$. Miku wins if the natural number written as $n{}$ "$1$"s in the positional numeral system with base $a$ is divisible by $p{}$, otherwise Juku wins. Which player has a winning strategy if: (a) Juku chooses the number $a$, tells it to Miku and then Miku chooses the number $n{}$; (b) Juku chooses the number $n{}$, tells it to Miku and then Miku chooses the number $a$?

[u]Set 3[/u] [b]p7.[/b] On unit square $ABCD$, a point $P$ is selected on segment $CD$ such that $DP =\frac14$ . The segment $BP$ is drawn and its intersection with diagonal $AC$ is marked as $E$. What is the area of triangle $AEP$? [b]p8.[/b] Five distinct points are arranged on a plane, creating ten pairs of distinct points. Seven pairs of points are distance $1$ apart, two pairs of points are distance $\sqrt3$ apart, and one pair of points is distance $2$ apart. Draw a line segment from one of these points to the midpoint of a pair of these points. What is the longest this line segment can be? [b]p9.[/b] The inhabitants of Mars use a base $8$ system. Mandrew Mellon is competing in the annual Martian College Interesting Competition of Math (MCICM). The first question asks to compute the product of the base $8$ numerals $1245415_8$, $7563265_8$, and $ 6321473_8$. Mandrew correctly computed the product in his scratch work, but when he looked back he realized he smudged the middle digit. He knows that the product is $1014133027\blacksquare 27662041138$. What is the missing digit? PS. You should use hide for answers.

Four masts stand on a flat horizontal piece of land at the vertices of a square $ABCD$. The height of the mast on $A$ is $7$ meters, of the mast on $B$ $13$ meters, and of the mast on $C$ $15$ meters. Within the square there is a point $P$ on the ground equidistant from each of the tops of these three masts. (a) What length must the sides of the square be at least for this to be possible? (b) The distance from $P$ to the top of the mast on $D$ is equal to the distance from$ P$ to each of the tops of the three other masts. Calculate the height of the mast at $D$.
