Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $M$ be the midpoint of side $AB$. If $AB$ is $17$ units long and $CM$ is $8$ units long, find the maximum possible value of the area of $ABC$.
In a 100-dimensional hypercube, each edge has length $ 1$. The box contains $2^{100} + 1$ hyperspheres with the same radius $ r$. The center of one hypersphere is the center of the hypercube, and it touches all the other spheres. Each of the other hyperspheres is tangent to $100$ faces of the hypercube. Thus, the hyperspheres are tightly packed in the hypercube. Find $ r$.
The incircle of triangle $ABC$ for which $AB\neq AC$, is tangent to sides $BC,CA$ and $AB$ in points $D,E$ and $F$ respectively. Perpendicular from $D$ to $EF$ intersects side $AB$ at $X$, and the second intersection point of circumcircles of triangles $AEF$ and $ABC$ is $T$. Prove that $TX\perp TF$.

The intersection of two squares with perimeter $8$ is a rectangle with diagonal length $1$. Given that the distance between the centers of the two squares is $2$, the perimeter of the rectangle can be expressed as $P$. Find $10P$.
Let $r > n$ be positive integers. A "good word" is an $n$-tuple $\langle a_1,\dots, a_n \rangle$ of distinct positive integers between 1 and $r$. A "play" consist of changing a integer $a_i$ of a good word, in such a way that the resulting word is still a good word. The distance between two good words $A= \langle a_1,\dots, a_n \rangle$ and $B = \langle b_1,\dots, b_n \rangle$ is the minimun number of plays needed to obtain B from A. Find the maximun posible distance between two good words.

Ms. Math's kindergarten class has $16$ registered students. The classroom has a very large number, $N$, of play blocks which satisfies the conditions:
(a) If $16$, $15$, or $14$ students are present, then in each case all the blocks can be distributed in equal numbers to each student, and
(b) There are three integers $0 < x < y < z < 14$ such that when $x$, $y$, or $z$ students are present and the blocks are distributed in equal numbers to each student, there are exactly three blocks left over.
Find the sum of the distinct prime divisors of the least possible value of $N$ satisfying the above conditions.
