In circle $ O$, $ G$ is a moving point on diameter $ \overline{AB}$. $ \overline{AA'}$ is drawn perpendicular to $ \overline{AB}$ and equal to $ \overline{AG}$. $ \overline{BB'}$ is drawn perpendicular to $ \overline{AB}$, on the same side of diameter $ \overline{AB}$ as $ \overline{AA'}$, and equal to $ BG$. Let $ O'$ be the midpoint of $ \overline{A'B'}$. Then, as $ G$ moves from $ A$ to $ B$, point $ O'$: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{moves on a straight line parallel to }{AB}\qquad \\ \textbf{(B)}\ \text{remains stationary}\qquad \\ \textbf{(C)}\ \text{moves on a straight line perpendicular to }{AB}\qquad \\ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{moves in a small circle intersecting the given circle}\qquad \\ \textbf{(E)}\ \text{follows a path which is neither a circle nor a straight line}$

Christopher and Robin are playing a game in which they take turns tossing a circular token of diameter 1 inch onto an infinite checkerboard whose squares have sides of 2 inches. If the token lands entirely in a square, the player who tossed the token gets 1 point; otherwise, the other player gets 1 point. A player wins as soon as he gets two more points than the other player. If Christopher tosses first, what is the probability that he will win? Express your answer as a fraction.

At the 4 PM show, all the seats in the theater were taken, and 65 percent of the audience was children. At the 6 PM show, again, all the seats were taken, but this time only 50 percent of the audience was children. Of all the people who attended either of the shows, 57 percent were children although there were 12 adults and 28 children who attended both shows. How many people does the theater seat?

Consider a circular cone with vertex $ V$, and let $ ABC$ be a triangle inscribed in the base of the cone, such that $ AB$ is a diameter and $ AC \equal{} BC$. Let $ L$ be a point on $ BV$ such that the volume of the cone is 4 times the volume of the tetrahedron $ ABCL$. Find the value of $ BL/LV$.

Let $ n \ge 3$ be a prime number and $ a_{1} < a_{2} < \cdots < a_{n}$ be integers. Prove that $ a_{1}, \cdots,a_{n}$ is an arithmetic progression if and only if there exists a partition of $ \{0, 1, 2, \cdots \}$ into sets $ A_{1},A_{2},\cdots,A_{n}$ such that \[ a_{1} \plus{} A_{1} \equal{} a_{2} \plus{} A_{2} \equal{} \cdots \equal{} a_{n} \plus{} A_{n},\] where $ x \plus{} A$ denotes the set $ \{x \plus{} a \vert a \in A \}$.

Let $ABC$ ($BC > AC$) be an acute triangle with circumcircle $k$ centered at $O$. The tangent to $k$ at $C$ intersects the line $AB$ at the point $D$. The circumcircles of triangles $BCD, OCD$ and $AOB$ intersect the ray $CA$ (beyond $A$) at the points $Q, P$ and $K$, respectively, such that $P \in (AK)$ and $K \in (PQ)$. The line $PD$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $BKQ$ at the point $T$, so that $P$ and $T$ are in different halfplanes with respect to $BQ$. Prove that $TB = TQ$.

Let $ ABC$ be a triangle, and $ I$ its incenter. Let the incircle of $ ABC$ touch side $ BC$ at $ D$, and let lines $ BI$ and $ CI$ meet the circle with diameter $ AI$ at points $ P$ and $ Q$, respectively. Given $ BI \equal{} 6, CI \equal{} 5, DI \equal{} 3$, determine the value of $ \left( DP / DQ \right)^2$.
