Joana divided $365$ by all integers from $1$ to $365$ and added all the remainders. Then she divided $366$ by all the integers from $1$ to $366$ and also added all the remainders. Which of the two sums is greater and what is the difference between them?

There are 2021 light bulbs in a row, labeled 1 through 2021, each with an on/off switch. They all start in the off position when 1011 people walk by. The first person flips the switch on every bulb; the second person flips the switch on every 3rd bulb (bulbs 3, 6, etc.); the third person flips the switch on every 5th bulb; and so on. In general, the $k$th person flips the switch on every $(2k - 1)$th light bulb, starting with bulb $2k - 1$. After all 1011 people have gone by, how many light bulbs are on?

At an elementary school, the students in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade run an average of $12$, $15$, and $10$ minutes per day, respectively. There are twice as many third graders as fourth graders, and twice as many fourth graders as fifth graders. What is the average number of minutes run per day by these students? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 12 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{37}{3} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{88}{7} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 13\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 14 $

Let $P$ be a quadratic (polynomial of degree two) with a positive leading coefficient and negative discriminant. Prove that there exists three quadratics $P_1, P_2, P_3$ such that: - $P(x) = P_1(x) + P_2(x) + P_3(x)$ - $P_1, P_2, P_3$ have positive leading coefficients and zero discriminants (and hence each has a double root) - The roots of $P_1, P_2, P_3$ are different

Let $A$ and $B$ be two cubes. Numbers $1,2,...,14$, are assigned in any order, to the faces and vertices of cube $A$. Then each edge of cube $A$ is assigned the average of the numbers assigned to the two faces that contain it. Finally assigned to each face of the cube $B$ the sum of the numbers associated with the vertices, the face and the edges on the corresponding face of cube $A$. If $S$ is the sum of the numbers assigned to the faces of $B$, find the largest and smallest value that $S$ can take.

Alice has a map of Wonderland, a country consisting of $n \geq 2$ towns. For every pair of towns, there is a narrow road going from one town to the other. One day, all the roads are declared to be “one way” only. Alice has no information on the direction of the roads, but the King of Hearts has offered to help her. She is allowed to ask him a number of questions. For each question in turn, Alice chooses a pair of towns and the King of Hearts tells her the direction of the road connecting those two towns. Alice wants to know whether there is at least one town in Wonderland with at most one outgoing road. Prove that she can always find out by asking at most $4n$ questions.

Dagan has a wooden cube. He paints each of the six faces a different color. He then cuts up the cube to get eight identically-sized smaller cubes, each of which now has three painted faces and three unpainted faces. He then puts the smaller cubes back together into one larger cube such that no unpainted face is visible. Compute the number of different cubes that Dagan can make this way. Two cubes are considered the same if one can be rotated to obtain the other. You may express your answer either as an integer or as a product of prime numbers.
