The equations are given $$ \begin{array}{c} x^2 + p_1x + q_1 = 0\\ x^2 + p_2x + q_2 = 0\\ x^2 + p_3x + q_3 = 0 \end{array}$$ each two of which have a common root, but all three have no common root. Prove that: 1) $2 (p_1p_2 + p_2p_3 + p_3p_1) - (p_1^2 + p_2^2 + p_3^2) = 4 (q_1 + q_2+ q_3)$ 2) he roots of these equations are rational when the numbers $p_1$, $p_2$ and $p_3$ are rational}.

An $m \times n$ rectangle is tiled with $\frac{mn}{2}$ $1 \times 2$ dominoes. The tiling is such that whenever the rectangle is partitioned into two smaller rectangles, there exists a domino that is part of the interior of both rectangles. Given $mn > 2$, what is the minimum possible value of $mn$? For instance, the following tiling of a $4 \times 3$ rectangle doesn’t work because we can partition along the line shown, but that doesn’t necessarily mean other $4 \times 3$ tilings don’t work.

Now Wendy wanders over and joins Dr. Lisi and her younger siblings. Thinking she knows everything there is about how to work with arithmetic series, she nearly turns right around to walk back home when Dr. Lisi poses a more challenging problem. "Suppose I select two distinct terms at random from the $2008$ term sequence. What's the probability that their product is positive?" If $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers such that $a/b$ is the probability that the product of the two terms is positive, find the value of $a+b$.

How many different ways are there to write 2004 as a sum of one or more positive integers which are all "aproximately equal" to each other? Two numbers are called aproximately equal if their difference is at most 1. The order of terms does not matter: two ways which only differ in the order of terms are not considered different.

Sophia writes an algorithm to solve the graph isomorphism problem. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, her algorithm iterates through all permutations of the set $\{v_1, \dots, v_{|V|}\}$, each time examining all ordered pairs $(v_i,v_j)\in V\times V$ to see if an edge exists. When $|V|=8$, her algorithm makes $N$ such examinations. What is the largest power of two that divides $N$?
