A container is shaped like a right circular cone open at the top surmounted by a frustum which is open at
the top and bottom as shown below. The lower cone has a base with radius 2 centimeters and height 6
centimeters while the frustum has bases with radii 2 and 8 centimeters and height 6 centimeters. If there is
a rainfall measuring 2 centimeter of rain, the rain falling into the container will fill the container to a
height of $m + 3\sqrt{n}$ cm, where m and n are positive integers. Find m + n.

Find all functions $ f: \mathbb{N^{*}}\to \mathbb{N^{*}}$ satisfying
\[ \left(f^{2}\left(m\right)+f\left(n\right)\right) \mid \left(m^{2}+n\right)^{2}\]
for any two positive integers $ m$ and $ n$.
[i]Remark.[/i] The abbreviation $ \mathbb{N^{*}}$ stands for the set of all positive integers:
$ \mathbb{N^{*}}=\left\{1,2,3,...\right\}$.
By $ f^{2}\left(m\right)$, we mean $ \left(f\left(m\right)\right)^{2}$ (and not $ f\left(f\left(m\right)\right)$).

Two players play the following game: alternatively they write numbers $1$ or $0$ in the vertices of an $n$-gon.
First player starts the game and wins if after any of his moves there exists a triangle, whose vertices are three consecutive vertices of the $n$-gon, such that the sum of numbers in it's vertices is divisible by $3$.
Second player wins if he prevents this.
Determine which player has a winning strategy if:
a) $n=2019$
b) $n=2020$
c) $n=2021$

A uniform disk, a thin hoop, and a uniform sphere, all with the same mass and same outer radius, are each free to rotate about a fixed axis through its center. Assume the hoop is connected to the rotation axis by light spokes. With the objects starting from rest, identical forces are simultaneously applied to the rims, as shown. Rank the objects according to their kinetic energies after a given time $t$, from least to greatest.

The diagram below shows four regular hexagons each with side length $1$ meter attached to the sides of a square. This figure is drawn onto a thin sheet of metal and cut out. The hexagons are then bent upward along the sides of the square so that $A_1$ meets $A_2$, $B_1$ meets $B_2$, $C_1$ meets $C_2$, and $D_1$ meets $D_2$. If the resulting dish is filled with water, the water will rise to the height of the corner where the $A_1$ and $A_2$ meet. there are relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$ so that the number of cubic meters of water the dish will hold is $\sqrt{\frac{m}{n}}$. Find $m+n$.

We say that a finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of points in the plane is [i]balanced[/i] if, for any two different points $A$ and $B$ in $\mathcal{S}$, there is a point $C$ in $\mathcal{S}$ such that $AC=BC$. We say that $\mathcal{S}$ is [i]centre-free[/i] if for any three different points $A$, $B$ and $C$ in $\mathcal{S}$, there is no points $P$ in $\mathcal{S}$ such that $PA=PB=PC$.
(a) Show that for all integers $n\ge 3$, there exists a balanced set consisting of $n$ points.
(b) Determine all integers $n\ge 3$ for which there exists a balanced centre-free set consisting of $n$ points.
