Kelvin and Quinn are collecting trading cards; there are $6$ distinct cards that could appear in a pack. Each pack contains exactly one card, and each card is equally likely. Kelvin buys packs until he has at least one copy of every card, and then he stops buying packs. If Quinn is missing exactly one card, the probability that Kelvin has at least two copies of the card Quinn is missing is expressible as $\tfrac{m}{n}$ for coprime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Determine $m+n$.

Consider a triangle $ABC$ with $AB = 13, BC = 14, CA = 15$. A line perpendicular to $BC$ divides the interior of $\vartriangle BC$ into two regions of equal area. Suppose that the aforesaid perpendicular cuts $BC$ at $D$, and cuts $\vartriangle ABC$ again at $E$. If $L$ is the length of the line segment $DE$, find $L^2$.

Let $n=2k-1$, where $k\ge 6$ is an integer. Let $T$ be the set of all $n$-tuples $$\textbf{x}=(x_1,x_2,\dots ,x_n), \text{ where, for } i=1,2,\dots ,n, \text{ } x_i \text{ is } 0 \text{ or } 1.$$ For $\textbf{x}=(x_1,x_2,\dots ,x_n)$ and $\textbf{y}=(y_1,y_2,\dots ,y_n)$ in $T$, let $d(\textbf{x},\textbf{y})$ denote the number of integers $j$ with $1\le j\le n$ such that $x_j\neq x_y$. $($In particular, $d(\textbf{x},\textbf{x})=0)$. Suppose that there exists a subset $S$ of $T$ with $2^k$ elements which has the following property: given any element $\textbf{x}$ in $T$, there is a unique $\textbf{y}$ in $S$ with $d(\textbf{x},\textbf{y})\le 3$. Prove that $n=23$.

A sequence $\left(a_n\right)$ with $a_1 = 1$ satisfies the following recursion: In the decimal expansion of $a_n$ (without trailing zeros) let $k$ be the smallest digest then $a_{n+1} = a_n + 2^k.$ How many digits does $a_{9 \cdot 10^{2010}}$ have in the decimal expansion?

2023 China Western Mathematical Olympiad, 2

In a certain country there are $2023$ islands and $2022$ bridges, such that every bridge connects two different islands and any two islands have at most one bridge in common, and from any island, using bridges one can get to any other island. If in any three islands there is an island with bridges connected to each of the other two islands, call these three islands an "island group". We know that any two "island group"s have at least $1$ common island. What is the minimum number of islands with only $1$ bridge connected to it?

Let $m, n \ge 2$ be integers. Carl is given $n$ marked points in the plane and wishes to mark their centroid.* He has no standard compass or straightedge. Instead, he has a device which, given marked points $A$ and $B$, marks the $m-1$ points that divide segment $\overline{AB}$ into $m$ congruent parts (but does not draw the segment). For which pairs $(m,n)$ can Carl necessarily accomplish his task, regardless of which $n$ points he is given? *Here, the [i]centroid[/i] of $n$ points with coordinates $(x_1, y_1), \dots, (x_n, y_n)$ is the point with coordinates $\left( \frac{x_1 + \dots + x_n}{n}, \frac{y_1 + \dots + y_n}{n}\right)$.

Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ have radii $r_1<r_2$ respectively and intersect at distinct points $X$ and $Y$. The common external tangents intersect at point $Z$. The common tangent closer to $X$ touches $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ at $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Line $ZX$ intersects $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ again at points $R$ and $S$ and lines $RP$ and $SQ$ intersect again at point $T$. If $XT=8$, $XZ=15$, and $XY=12$, then what is $\tfrac{r_1}{r_2}$?

We define $\mathbb F_{101}[x]$ as the set of all polynomials in $x$ with coefficients in $\mathbb F_{101}$ (the integers modulo $101$ with usual addition and subtraction), so that two polynomials are equal if and only if the coefficients of $x^k$ are equal in $\mathbb F_{101}$ for each nonnegative integer $k$. For example, $(x+3)(100x+5)=100x^2+2x+15$ in $\mathbb F_{101}[x]$ because the corresponding coefficients are equal modulo $101$. We say that $f(x)\in\mathbb F_{101}[x]$ is \emph{lucky} if it has degree at most $1000$ and there exist $g(x),h(x)\in\mathbb F_{101}[x]$ such that \[f(x)=g(x)(x^{1001}-1)+h(x)^{101}-h(x)\] in $\mathbb F_{101}[x]$. Find the number of lucky polynomials. [i]Proposed by Michael Ren.[/i]
