The incircle $\omega$ of a triangle $ABC$ touches the sides $BC, AC, AB$ in the points $D, E, F$ respectively. Two different points $K$ and $L$ are chosen in $\omega$ such that $\angle CKE+\angle BKF=\angle CLE+\angle BLF=180^{\circ}$. Prove that the line $KL$ is in the same distance to the point $D, E,$ and $F$.
Solve the equation $ \sin x\sin 2x\cdots\sin nx+\cos x\cos 2x\cdots\cos nx =1, $ for $ n\in\mathbb{N} $ and $ x\in\mathbb{R} . $
Two cyclists, $ k$ miles apart, and starting at the same time, would be together in $ r$ hours if they traveled in the same direction, but would pass each other in $ t$ hours if they traveled in opposite directions. The ratio of the speed of the faster cyclist to that of the slower is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac {r \plus{} t}{r \minus{} t} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac {r}{r \minus{} t} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac {r \plus{} t}{r} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac {r}{t} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac {r \plus{} k}{t \minus{} k}$
$ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral. The lines $AD$ and $BC$ meet at X, and the lines $AB$ and $CD$ meet at $Y$ .

A square piece of paper has side length $1$ and vertices $A,B,C,$ and $D$ in that order. As shown in the figure, the paper is folded so that vertex $C$ meets edge $\overline{AD}$ at point $C’$, and edge $\overline{BC}$ intersects edge $\overline{AB}$ at point $E$. Suppose that $C’D=\frac{1}{3}$. What is the perimeter of $\triangle AEC’$?

Sam Wang decides to evaluate an expression of the form $x +2 \cdot 2+ y$. However, he unfortunately reads each ’plus’ as a ’times’ and reads each ’times’ as a ’plus’. Surprisingly, he still gets the problem correct. Find $x + y$. [i]Proposed by Edwin Zhao[/i] [hide=Solution] [i]Solution.[/i] $\boxed{4}$ We have $x+2*2+y=x \cdot 2+2 \cdot y$. When simplifying, we have $x+y+4=2x+2y$, and $x+y=4$. [/hide]
A coin that comes up heads with probability $ p > 0$ and tails with probability $ 1\minus{}p > 0$ independently on each flip is flipped eight times. Suppose the probability of three heads and five tails is equal to $ \frac{1}{25}$ of the probability of five heads and three tails. Let $ p \equal{} \frac{m}{n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $ m\plus{}n$.

Euler's formula states that for a convex polyhedron with $V$ vertices, $E$ edges, and $F$ faces, $V - E + F = 2$. A particular convex polyhedron has 32 faces, each of which is either a triangle or a pentagon. At each of its $V$ vertices, $T$ triangular faces and $P$ pentagonal faces meet. What is the value of $100P + 10T + V$?
