Suppose $a,b,c$ are real numbers such that $a+b \ge 0, b+c \ge 0$, and $c+a \ge 0$. Prove that $a+b+c \ge \frac{|a|+|b|+|c|}{3}$ . (Note: $|x|$ is called the absolute value of $x$ and is defined as follows. If $x \ge 0$ then $|x|= x$, and if $x < 0$ then $|x| = -x$. For example, $|6|= 6, |0| = 0$ and $|-6| = 6$.)

(Mathematicians A to Z) Below are the names of 26 mathematicians, one for each letter of the alphabet. Your answer to this question should be a subset of $\{A,B,\cdots,Z\}$, where each letter represents the corresponding mathematician. If two mathematicians in your subset have birthdates that are within $20$ years of each other, then your score is $0$. Otherwise, your score is $\max(3(k-3),0)$ where $k$ is the number of elements in your set. \[\begin{tabular}{cc}Niels Abel & Isaac Newton\\Etienne Bezout & Nicole Oresme \\ Augustin-Louis Cauchy & Blaise Pascal \\ Rene Descartes & Daniel Quillen \\ Leonhard Euler & Bernhard Riemann\\ Pierre Fatou & Jean-Pierre Serre \\ Alexander Grothendieck & Alan Turing \\ David Hilbert & Stanislaw Ulam \\ Kenkichi Iwasawa & John Venn \\ Carl Jacobi & Andrew Wiles \\ Andrey Kolmogorov & Leonardo Ximenes \\ Joseph-Louis Lagrange & Shing-Tung Yau \\ John Milnor & Ernst Zermelo\end{tabular}\]

Sam and Ben are each flipping fair coins. If Sam flips a single coin until he gets a tails, and Ben flips $10$ coins in total, what is the probability Sam and Ben get the same number of heads?

Given are a prime $p$ and a positive integer $a$. Let $q$ be a prime divisor of $\frac{a^{p^3}-1}{a^{p^2}-1}$ and $q\neq p$. Prove that $q\equiv 1 ( \mod p^3)$.

Andrew and Barry play the following game: there are two heaps with $a$ and $b$ pebbles, respectively. In the first round Barry chooses a positive integer $k,$ and Andrew takes away $k$ pebbles from one of the two heaps (if $k$ is bigger than the number of pebbles in the heap, he takes away the complete heap). In the second round, the roles are reversed: Andrew chooses a positive integer and Barry takes away the pebbles from one of the two heaps. This goes on, in each round the two players are reversing the roles. The player that takes the last pebble loses the game. Which player has a winning strategy?

In quadrilateral $ABCD$, angles $A, B, C, D$ form an increasing arithmetic sequence. Also, $\angle ACB = 90^o$ . If $CD = 14$ and the length of the altitude from $C$ to $AB$ is $9$, compute the area of $ABCD$.

A circle is circumscribed around an isosceles triangle $ABC$ with base $BC$. The bisector of the angle $C$ and the bisector of the angles $A$ intersect the circle at the points $E$ and $D$, respectively, and the segment $DE$ intersects the sides $BC$ and $AB$ at the points $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Reconstruct $\vartriangle ABC$ given points $D, P, Q$, if it is known in which half-plane relative to the line $DQ$ lies the vertex $A$. (Maria Rozhkova)

The kingdom of Anisotropy consists of $n$ cities. For every two cities there exists exactly one direct one-way road between them. We say that a [i]path from $X$ to $Y$[/i] is a sequence of roads such that one can move from $X$ to $Y$ along this sequence without returning to an already visited city. A collection of paths is called [i]diverse[/i] if no road belongs to two or more paths in the collection. Let $A$ and $B$ be two distinct cities in Anisotropy. Let $N_{AB}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $A$ to $B$. Similarly, let $N_{BA}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $B$ to $A$. Prove that the equality $N_{AB} = N_{BA}$ holds if and only if the number of roads going out from $A$ is the same as the number of roads going out from $B$.

The country of Claredena has $5$ cities, and is planning to build a road system so that each of its cities has exactly one outgoing (unidirectional) road to another city. Two road systems are considered equivalent if we can get from one road system the other by just changing the names of the cities. That is, two road systems are considered the same if given a relabeling of the cities, if in the first configuration a road went from city $C$ to city $D$, then in the second configuration there is road that goes from the city now labeled $C$ to the city now labeled $D$. How many distinct, nonequivalent possibilities are there for the road system Claredena builds?

Consider all ordered pairs $(a, b)$ of positive integers such that $\frac{a^2 + b^2 + 2}{ab}$ is an integer and $a\le b$. We label all such pairs in increasing order by their distance from the origin. (It is guaranteed that no ties exist.) Thus $P_1 = (1, 1), P_2 = (1, 3)$, and so on. If $P_{2020} = (x, y),$ then compute the remainder when $x + y$ is divided by $2017$. [i]Proposed by Ashwin Sah[/i]
