Circle $C$ with radius $2$ has diameter $\overline{AB}$. Circle $D$ is internally tangent to circle $C$ at $A$. Circle $E$ is internally tangent to circle $C,$ externally tangent to circle $D,$ and tangent to $\overline{AB}$.

There are 22 black and 3 blue balls in a bag. Ahmet chooses an integer $ n$ in between 1 and 25. Betül draws $ n$ balls from the bag one by one such that no ball is put back to the bag after it is drawn. If exactly 2 of the $ n$ balls are blue and the second blue ball is drawn at $ n^{th}$ order, Ahmet wins, otherwise Betül wins. To increase the possibility to win, Ahmet must choose $\textbf{(A)}\ 2 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 11 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 12 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 13 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 23$
The pressure $ (P)$ of wind on a sail varies jointly as the area $ (A)$ of the sail and the square of the velocity $ (V)$ of the wind. The pressure on a square foot is $ 1$ pound when the velocity is $ 16$ miles per hour. The velocity of the wind when the pressure on a square yard is $ 36$ pounds is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ 10\frac {2}{3} \text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 96 \text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 32\text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 1\frac {2}{3} \text{ mph} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 16 \text{ mph}$
A set $X$ consisting of $n$ positive integers is called $\textit{good}$ if the following condition holds: For any two different subsets of $X$, say $A$ and $B$, the number $s(A) - s(B)$ is not divisible by $2^n$. (Here, for a set $A$, $s(A)$ denotes the sum of the elements of $A$) Given $n$, find the number of good sets of size $n$, all of whose elements is strictly less than $2^n$.
Let $\phi =\frac{1}{2019}$. Define $$g_n =\begin{cases} 0 & \text{ if} \,\,\,\, round (n\phi) = round \,\,\,\, ((n - 1)\phi) \\ 1 & \text{ otherwise} .\end{cases}.$$ where round $(x)$ denotes the round function. Compute the expected value of $g_n$ if $n$ is an integer chosen from interval $[1, 2019^2]$.

There are 2021 light bulbs in a row, labeled 1 through 2021, each with an on/off switch. They all start in the off position when 1011 people walk by. The first person flips the switch on every bulb; the second person flips the switch on every 3rd bulb (bulbs 3, 6, etc.); the third person flips the switch on every 5th bulb; and so on. In general, the $k$th person flips the switch on every $(2k - 1)$th light bulb, starting with bulb $2k - 1$. After all 1011 people have gone by, how many light bulbs are on?
Let $S$ be a set of $49$-digit numbers $n$, with the property that each of the digits $1, 2, 3, \dots, 7$ appears in the decimal expansion of $n$ seven times (and $8, 9$ and $0$ do not appear). Show that no two distinct elements of $S$ divide each other.

Let $n > 1$ be an odd integer. On an $n \times n$ chessboard the center square and four corners are deleted. We wish to group the remaining $n^2-5$ squares into $\frac12(n^2-5)$ pairs, such that the two squares in each pair intersect at exactly one point (i.e.\ they are diagonally adjacent, sharing a single corner). For which odd integers $n > 1$ is this possible?
For a finite set $A$ of positive integers, a partition of $A$ into two disjoint nonempty subsets $A_1$ and $A_2$ is $\textit{good}$ if the least common multiple of the elements in $A_1$ is equal to the greatest common divisor of the elements in $A_2$. Determine the minimum value of $n$ such that there exists a set of $n$ positive integers with exactly $2015$ good partitions.
Maria Ivanovna drew on the blackboard a right triangle $ABC$ with a right angle $B$. Three students looked at her and said: $\bullet$ Yura said: "The hypotenuse of this triangle is $10$ cm." $\bullet$ Roma said: "The altitude drawn from the vertex $B$ on the side $AC$ is $6$ cm." $\bullet$ Seva said: "The area of the triangle $ABC$ is $25$ cm$^2$." Determine which of the students was mistaken if it is known that there is exactly one such person.
Let $D$ be an arbitrary point on side $BC$ of triangle $ABC$. Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ pass through $A$ and $D$ in such a way that $BA$ touches $\omega_1$ and $CA$ touches $\omega_2$. Let $BX$ be the second tangent from $B$ to $\omega_1$, and $CY$ be the second tangent from $C$ to $\omega_2$. Prove that the circumcircle of triangle $XDY$ touches $BC$.
A convex polygon $G$ is placed inside a convex polygon $ F$ so that their boundaries have no common points. A segment $s$ joining two points on the boundary of $F$ is called a support chord for $G$ if s contains a side or only a vertex of $G$. Prove that (a) there exists a support chord for $G$ such that its midpoint lies on the boundary of $G$, (b) there exist at least two such chords. (P Pushkar)
