Joy has $33$ thin rods, one each of every integer length from $1$ cm through $30$ cm, and also three more rods with lengths $3$ cm, $7$ cm, and $15$ cm. She places those three rods on a table. She then wants to choose a fourth rod that she can put with these three to form a quadrilateral with positive area. How many of the remaining rods can she choose as the fourth rod?

Consider a plane $\epsilon$ and three non-collinear points $A,B,C$ on the same side of $\epsilon$; suppose the plane determined by these three points is not parallel to $\epsilon$. In plane $\epsilon$ take three arbitrary points $A',B',C'$. Let $L,M,N$ be the midpoints of segments $AA', BB', CC'$; Let $G$ be the centroid of the triangle $LMN$. (We will not consider positions of the points $A', B', C'$ such that the points $L,M,N$ do not form a triangle.) What is the locus of point $G$ as $A', B', C'$ range independently over the plane $\epsilon$?
Quadrilateral $APBQ$ is inscribed in circle $\omega$ with $\angle P = \angle Q = 90^{\circ}$ and $AP = AQ < BP$. Let $X$ be a variable point on segment $\overline{PQ}$. Line $AX$ meets $\omega$ again at $S$ (other than $A$). Point $T$ lies on arc $AQB$ of $\omega$ such that $\overline{XT}$ is perpendicular to $\overline{AX}$. Let $M$ denote the midpoint of chord $\overline{ST}$. As $X$ varies on segment $\overline{PQ}$, show that $M$ moves along a circle.
Define the sequence $(x_n)$ by $x_0 = 0$ and for all $n \in \mathbb N,$
\[x_n=\begin{cases} x_{n-1} + (3^r - 1)/2,&\mbox{ if } n = 3^{r-1}(3k + 1);\\ x_{n-1} - (3^r + 1)/2, & \mbox{ if } n = 3^{r-1}(3k + 2).\end{cases}\]
where $k \in \mathbb N_0, r \in \mathbb N$. Prove that every integer occurs in this sequence exactly once.

The intelligence quotient (IQ) of a country is defined as the average IQ of its entire population. It is assumed that the total population and individual IQs remain constant throughout.
(a) (i) A group of people from country $A$ has emigrated to country $B$ . Show that it can happen that as a result , the IQs of both countries have increased.
(ii) After this, a group of people from $B$, which may include immigrants from $A$, emigrates to $A$. Can it happen that the IQs of both countries will increase again?
(b) A group of people from country $A$ has emigrated to country $B$, and a group of people from $B$ has emigrated to country $C$ . It is known that a s a result , the IQs o f all three countries have increased. After this, a group of people from $C$ emigrates to $B$ and a group of people from $B$ emigrates to $A$. Can it happen that the IQs of all three countries will increase again?

On a past Mathematical Olympiad the maximum possible score on a problem was 5. The average score of boys was 4, the average score of girls was 3.25, and the overall average score was 3.60. Find the total number of participants, knowing that it was in the range from 31 to 50.
Circles $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$, and $\omega_3$ are centered at $M$, $N$, and $O$, respectively. The points of tangency between $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$, $\omega_3$ and $\omega_1$, and $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are tangent at $A$, $B$, and $C$, respectively. Line $MO$ intersects $\omega_3$ and $\omega_1$ again at $P$ and $Q$ respectively, and line $AP$ intersects $\omega_2$ again at $R$.
