If the area of $\triangle ABC$ is 24, then the area of $\triangle BED$ is [asy] size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.8)+fontsize(11pt)); pair A = (6.5,3.2), B = origin, C = (5.0), D = (3.3,0); pair Xc = (C.x,4), Xd = (D.x,4), E = intersectionpoint(A--B,C--Xc), M = intersectionpoint(D--Xd, A--B); draw(C--A--B--C--E--D--M); label("$A$",A,NE); label("$B$",B,W); label("$C$",C,SE); label("$D$",D,S); label("$E$",E,N); label("$M$",M,N); draw(rightanglemark(D,C,E,7)^^rightanglemark(B,D,M,7)); [/asy] $\textbf{(A) }9\qquad \textbf{(B) }12\qquad \textbf{(C) }15\qquad \textbf{(D) }18\qquad \textbf{(E) }\text{not uniquely determined}$

Assume that for pairwise distinct real numbers $a,b,c,d$ holds: $$ (a^2+b^2-1)(a+b)=(b^2+c^2-1)(b+c)=(c^2+d^2-1)(c+d).$$ Prove that $ a+b+c+d=0.$

The table of dimensions $n\times n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$, is filled with numbers from $1$ to $n^2$, but the difference any two numbers on adjacent fields is at most $n$, and that for every $k = 1, 2,\dots , n^2$ set of fields whose numbers are $1, 2,\dots , k$ is connected, as well as the set of fields whose numbers are $k, k + 1,\dots , n^2$. Neighboring fields are fields with a common side, while a set of fields is considered connected if from each field to every other field of that set can be reached going only to the neighboring fields within that set. We call a pair of adjacent numbers, ie. numbers on adjacent fields, good, if their absolute difference is exactly $n$ (one number can be found in several good pairs). Prove that the table has at least $2 (n - 1)$ good pairs.

Pegs are put in a board $ 1$ unit apart both horizontally and vertically. A reubber band is stretched over $ 4$ pegs as shown in the figure, forming a quadrilateral.

John is flipping his favorite bottle, which currently contains $10$ ounces of water. However, his bottle is broken from excessive flipping, so after he performs a flip, one ounce of water leaks out of his bottle. When his bottle contains k ounces of water, he has a $\frac{1}{k+1}$ probability of landing it on its bottom. What is the expected number of number of flips it takes for John’s bottle to land on its bottom ?

Given $n$ chairs around a circle which are marked with numbers from 1 to $n$ .There are $k$, $k \leq 4 \cdot n$ students sitting on those chairs .Two students are called neighbours if there is no student sitting between them. Between two neighbours students ,there are at less 3 chairs. Find the number of choices of $k$ chairs so that $k$ students can sit on those and the condition is satisfied.
