Let $z$ be a complex number with $|z| = 2014$. Let $P$ be the polygon in the complex plane whose vertices are $z$ and every $w$ such that $\tfrac{1}{z+w} = \tfrac{1}{z} + \tfrac{1}{w}$. Then the area enclosed by $P$ can be written in the form $n\sqrt{3},$ where $n$ is an integer. Find the remainder when $n$ is divided by $1000$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 5$, $BC = 6$, and $CA = 7$. Denote $\Gamma$ the incircle of $ABC$, let $I$ be the center of $\Gamma$ . The circumcircle of $BIC$ intersects $\Gamma$ at $X_1$ and $X_2$. The circumcircle of $CIA$ intersects $\Gamma$ at $Y_1$ and $Y_2$. The circumcircle of $AIB$ intersects $\Gamma$ at $Z_1$ and $Z_2$. The area of the triangle determined by $\overline{X_1X_2}$, $\overline{Y_1Y_2}$, and $\overline{Z_1Z_2}$ equals $\frac{m \sqrt{p}}{n}$ for positive integers $m, n$, and $p$, where $m$ and$ n$ are relatively prime and $p$ is squarefree. Compute $m+n+ p$.

Let $f_0$ be the function from $\mathbb{Z}^2$ to $\{0,1\}$ such that $f_0(0,0)=1$ and $f_0(x,y)=0$ otherwise. For each positive integer $m$, let $f_m(x,y)$ be the remainder when \[ f_{m-1}(x,y) + \sum_{j=-1}^{1} \sum_{k=-1}^{1} f_{m-1}(x+j,y+k) \] is divided by $2$. Finally, for each nonnegative integer $n$, let $a_n$ denote the number of pairs $(x,y)$ such that $f_n(x,y) = 1$. Find a closed form for $a_n$. [i]Proposed by Bobby Shen[/i]

2018 Costa Rica - Final Round, LRP1

Arnulfo and Berenice play the following game: One of the two starts by writing a number from $ 1$ to $30$, the other chooses a number from $ 1$ to $30$ and adds it to the initial number, the first player chooses a number from $ 1$ to $30$ and adds it to the previous result, they continue doing the same until someone manages to add $2018$. When Arnulfo was about to start, Berenice told him that it was unfair, because whoever started had a winning strategy, so the numbers had better change. So they asked the following question: Adding chosen numbers from $1 $ to $a$, until reaching the number $ b$, what conditions must meet $a$ and $ b$ so that the first player does not have a winning strategy? Indicate if Arnulfo and Berenice are right and answer the question asked by them.

1007 distinct potatoes are chosen independently and randomly from a box of 2016 potatoes numbered $1, 2, \dots, 2016$, with $p$ being the smallest chosen potato. Then, potatoes are drawn one at a time from the remaining 1009 until the first one with value $q < p$ is drawn. If no such $q$ exists, let $S = 1$. Otherwise, let $S = pq$. Then given that the expected value of $S$ can be expressed as simplified fraction $\tfrac{m}{n}$, find $m+n$.

Renata the robot packs boxes in a warehouse. Each box is a cube of side length $1$ foot. The warehouse floor is a square, $12$ feet on each side, and is divided into a $12$-by-$12$ grid of square tiles $1$ foot on a side. Each tile can either support one box or be empty. The warehouse has exactly one door, which opens onto one of the corner tiles. Renata fits on a tile and can roll between tiles that share a side. To access a box, Renata must be able to roll along a path of empty tiles starting at the door and ending at a tile sharing a side with that box. [list=a] [*]Show how Renata can pack $91$ boxes into the warehouse and still be able to access any box. [*]Show that Renata [b]cannot[/b] pack $95$ boxes into the warehouse and still be able to access any box.[/list]
