Let $\triangle MBT$ be a triangle with $\overline{MB} = 4$ and $\overline{MT} = 7$. Furthermore, let circle $\omega$ be a circle with center $O$ which is tangent to $\overline{MB}$ at $B$ and $\overline{MT}$ at some point on segment $\overline{MT}$. Given $\overline{OM} = 6$ and $\omega$ intersects $ \overline{BT}$ at $I \neq B$, find the length of $\overline{TI}$.

A grid of cells is tiled with dominoes such that every cell is covered by exactly one domino. A subset $S$ of dominoes is chosen. Is it true that at least one of the following 2 statements is false?
(1) There are $2022$ more horizontal dominoes than vertical dominoes in $S$.
(2) The cells covered by the dominoes in $S$ can be tiled completely and exactly by $L$-shaped tetrominoes.
A circle $O$ with radius of $R$ is drawn on a piece of paper. $A$ is a fixed point inside circle $O$, and $OA=a$. Fold the paper, so that a point $A'$ on the circle is coincident with $A$. For all such foldings, a kink mark is remained. Find the set of points on a certain kink mark.
Let $n > 1$ be an integer. There are $n$ boxes in a row, and there are $n + 1$ identical stones. A [i]distribution [/i] is a way to distribute the stones over the boxes, in which every stone is in exactly one of the boxes. We say that two of such distributions are a [i]stone’s throw away[/i] from each other if we can obtain one distribution from the other by moving exactly one stone from one box to another. The [i]cosiness [/i] of a distribution $a$ is defined as the number of distributions that are a stone’s throw away from $a$. Determine the average cosiness of all possible distributions.
A number is called [i]purple[/i] if it can be expressed in the form $\frac{1}{2^a 5^b}$ for positive integers $a > b$. The sum of all purple numbers can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a, b$. Compute $100a + b$.

$n$ volleyball teams have competed to each other (each $2$ teams have competed exactly $1$ time.). For every $2$ distinct teams like $A,B$, there exist exactly $t$ teams which have lost their match with $A,B$. Prove that $n=4t+3$. (Notabene that in volleyball, there doesn’t exist tie!)
Points $A', B', C'$ are chosen on the sides $BC, CA, AB$ of triangle $ABC$, respectively, so that $\frac{|BA'|}{|A'C|}=\frac{|CB'|}{|B'A|}=\frac{|AC'|}{|C'B|}$.
