Bryan Ai has the following 8 numbers written from left to right on a sheet of paper:
$$\textbf{1 4 1 2 0 7 0 8}$$
Now in each of the 7 gaps between adjacent numbers, Bryan Ai wants to place one of `$+$', `$-$', or `$\times$' inside that gap.
Now, Bryan Ai wonders, if he picks a random placement out of the $3^7$ possible placements, what's the expected value of the expression (order of operations apply)?

Let $M{}$ be the midpoint of the side $BC$ of the triangle $ABC$.

Let $X{}$ and $Y{}$ be the midpoints of $BE$ and $CD$ respectively. Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle $MXY$ touches $\omega$.

A tortoise walks $60$ meters per hour and a lizard walks at $240$ meters per hour. There is a rectangle $ABCD$ where $AB =60$ and $AD =120$. Both start from the vertex $A$ and in the same direction ($A \to B \to D \to A$), crossing the edge of the rectangle. The lizard has the habit of advancing two consecutive sides of the rectangle, turning to go back one, turning to go forward two, turning to go back one and so on. How many times and in what places do the tortoise and the lizard meet when the tortoise completes its third turn?
Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $\angle BAC = 90^\circ$ and $AB > AC$. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ to $BC$, $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$ and $A'$ be the reflection of $A$ over $D$.

Start with an angle of $60^\circ$ and bisect it, then bisect the lower $30^\circ$ angle, then the upper $15^\circ$ angle, and so on, always alternating between the upper and lower of the previous two angles constructed. This process approaches a limiting line that divides the original $60^\circ$ angle into two angles. Find the measure (degrees) of the smaller angle.

Several napkins of equal size and of shape of a unit disc were placed on a table (with overlappings). Is it always possible to hammer several point-sized nails so that all the napkins will be thus attached to the table with the same number of nails? (The nails cannot be hammered into the borders of the discs).

The figure below shows a barn in the shape of two congruent pentagonal prisms that intersect at right angles and have a common center. The ends of the prisms are made of a 12 foot by 7 foot rectangle surmounted by an isosceles triangle with sides 10 feet, 10 feet, and 12 feet. Each prism is 30 feet long. Find the volume of the barn in cubic feet.

In each cell of an $n\times n$ board is a lightbulb. Initially, all of the lights are off. Each move consists of changing the state of all of the lights in a row or of all of the lights in a column (off lights are turned on and on lights are turned off).
Show that if after a certain number of moves, at least one light is on, then at this moment at least $n$ lights are on.
