Two points $A, B$ are randomly chosen on a circle with radius $100.$ For a positive integer $x$, denote $P(x)$ as the probability that the length of $AB$ is less than $x$. Find the minimum possible integer value of $x$ such that $\text{P}(x) > \frac{2}{3}$.
A diabolical combination lock has $n$ dials (each with $c$ possible states), where $n,c>1$. The dials are initially set to states $d_1, d_2, \ldots, d_n$, where $0\le d_i\le c-1$ for each $1\le i\le n$. Unfortunately, the actual states of the dials (the $d_i$'s) are concealed, and the initial settings of the dials are also unknown. On a given turn, one may advance each dial by an integer amount $c_i$ ($0\le c_i\le c-1$), so that every dial is now in a state $d_i '\equiv d_i+c_i \pmod{c}$ with $0\le d_i ' \le c-1$. After each turn, the lock opens if and only if all of the dials are set to the zero state; otherwise, the lock selects a random integer $k$ and cyclically shifts the $d_i$'s by $k$ (so that for every $i$, $d_i$ is replaced by $d_{i-k}$, where indices are taken modulo $n$).
Show that the lock can always be opened, regardless of the choices of the initial configuration and the choices of $k$ (which may vary from turn to turn), if and only if $n$ and $c$ are powers of the same prime.

Does there exist points $A,B$ on the curve $y=x^3$ and on $y=x^3+|x|+1$ respectively such that distance between $A,B$ is less than $\frac{1}{100}$ ?
Each positive integer $a$ undergoes the following procedure in order to obtain the number $d = d\left(a\right)$:
(i) move the last digit of $a$ to the first position to obtain the numb er $b$;
(ii) square $b$ to obtain the number $c$;
(iii) move the first digit of $c$ to the end to obtain the number $d$.
(All the numbers in the problem are considered to be represented in base $10$.) For example, for $a=2003$, we get $b=3200$, $c=10240000$, and $d = 02400001 = 2400001 = d(2003)$.)
Find all numbers $a$ for which $d\left( a\right) =a^2$.

From the foot $D$ of the height $CD$ in the triangle $ABC,$ perpendiculars to $BC$ and $AC$ are drawn, which they intersect at points $M$ and $N.$ Let $\angle CAB = 60^{\circ} , \angle CBA = 45^{\circ} ,$ and $H$ be the orthocentre of $MNC.$ If $O$ is the midpoint of $CD,$ find $\angle COH.$
On the parabola $y = x^2$ lie three different points $P, Q$ and $R$. Their projections $P', Q'$ and $R'$ on the $x$-axis are equidistant and equal to $s$ , i.e. $| P'Q'| = | Q'R'| = s$. Determine the area of $\vartriangle PQR$ in terms of $s$

We say that a positive integer is happy if can expressed in the form $ (a^{2}b)/(a \minus{} b)$ where $ a > b > 0$ are integers. We also say that a positive integer $ m$ is evil if it doesn't a happy integer $ n$ such that $ d(n) \equal{} m$. Prove that all integers happy and evil are a power of $ 4$.
