In each square of a garden shaped like a $2022 \times 2022$ board, there is initially a tree of height $0$. A gardener and a lumberjack alternate turns playing the following game, with the gardener taking the first turn: [list] [*] The gardener chooses a square in the garden. Each tree on that square and all the surrounding squares (of which there are at most eight) then becomes one unit taller. [*] The lumberjack then chooses four different squares on the board. Each tree of positive height on those squares then becomes one unit shorter. [/list] We say that a tree is [i]majestic[/i] if its height is at least $10^6$. Determine the largest $K$ such that the gardener can ensure there are eventually $K$ majestic trees on the board, no matter how the lumberjack plays.

While working with some data for the Iowa City Hospital, James got up to get a drink of water. When he returned, his computer displayed the “blue screen of death” (it had crashed). While rebooting his computer, James remembered that he was nearly done with his calculations since the last time he saved his data. He also kicked himself for not saving before he got up from his desk. He had computed three positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$, and recalled that their product is $24$, but he didn’t remember the values of the three integers themselves. What he really needed was their sum. He knows that the sum is an even two-digit integer less than $25$ with fewer than $6$ divisors. Help James by computing $a+b+c$.

A ray is drawn from the origin tangent to the graph of the upper part of the hyperbola $y^2=x^2-x+1$ in the first quadrant. This ray makes an angle of $\theta$ with the positive $x$-axis. Compute $\cos\theta$.

A mathematical organization is producing a set of commemorative license plates. Each plate contains a sequence of five characters chosen from the four letters in AIME and the four digits in $2007$. No character may appear in a sequence more times than it appears among the four letters in AIME or the four digits in $2007$. A set of plates in which each possible sequence appears exactly once contains $N$ license plates. Find $\frac{N}{10}$.

Kelvin the Frog places $40$ rooks on a uniformly random subset of $40$ squares of a $20 \times 20$ chessboard. Then, Alex the Kat chooses two of the $40$ rooks uniformly at random. What is the probability that Alex's two rooks attack each other? Two rooks attack each other if they are on the same row or column, and no piece stands between them.

A coin is tossed $n$ times, and the outcome is written in the form ($a_1,a_2,...,a_n$), where $a_i = 1$ or $2$ depending on whether the result of the $i$-th toss is the head or the tail, respectively.

The figure shows an arbitrary (green) triangle in the center. White squares were built on its sides to the outside. Some of their vertices were connected by segments, white squares were built on them again to the outside, and so on. In the spaces between the squares, triangles and quadrilaterals were formed, which were painted in different colors. Prove that [list=a] [*]all colored quadrilaterals are trapezoids; [*]the areas of all polygons of the same color are equal; [*]the ratios of the bases of one-color trapezoids are equal; [*]if $S_0=1$ is the area of the original triangle, and $S_i$ is the area of the colored polygons at the $i^{\text{th}}$ step, then $S_1=1$, $S_2=5$ and for $n\geqslant 3$ the equality $S_n=5S_{n-1}-S_{n-2}$ is satisfied.
