For real numbers $a,b,c$, if
$$a^2-bc-8a+7=b^2+c^2+bc-6a-6=0,$$
then the range value of $a$ is
$\text{(A)}(-\infty,+\infty)\qquad\text{(B)}(-\infty,1]\cup[9,+\infty)\qquad\text{(C)}(0,7)\qquad\text{(D)}[1,9]$
On the plane of triangle $ABC$ with $\angle BAC = 90^\circ$ we raise perpendicular lines in $A$ and $B$, on the same side of the plane. On these two perpendicular lines we consider the points $M$ and $N$ respectively such that $BN < AM$. Knowing that $AC = 2a$, $AB = a\sqrt 3$, $AM=a$ and that the plane $MNC$ makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the plane $ABC$ find
a) the area of the triangle $MNC$;
b) the distance from $B$ to the plane $MNC$.
A sequence $\{a_n\}$ is defined by $a_n=\int_0^1 x^3(1-x)^n dx\ (n=1,2,3.\cdots)$
Find the constant number $c$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (n+c)(a_n-a_{n+1})=\frac{1}{3}$
If $x,y$ are real, then the $\textit{absolute value}$ of the complex number $z=x+yi$ is \[|z|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}.\] Find the number of polynomials $f(t)=A_0+A_1t+A_2t^2+A_3t^3+t^4$ such that $A_0,\ldots,A_3$ are integers and all roots of $f$ in the complex plane have absolute value $\leq 1$.
Compute the value of the sum

Evaluate $\tfrac1{\sqrt1+\sqrt2}+\tfrac1{\sqrt2+\sqrt3}+\cdots+\tfrac1{\sqrt{1368}+\sqrt{1369}}$.
Fill in each cell of the grid with one of the numbers 1, 2, or 3. After all numbers are filled in, if a row, column, or any diagonal has a number of cells equal to a multiple of 3, then it must have the same amount of 1’s, 2’s, and 3’s. (There are 10 such diagonals, and they are all marked in the grid by a gray dashed line.) Some numbers have been given to you.

You do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible; you merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)
Let $BC$ be a fixed chord of a circle $\omega$. Let $A$ be a variable point on the major arc $BC$ of $\omega$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $ABC$. The points $D, E$ lie on $AB, AC$ such that $H$ is the midpoint of $DE$. $O_A$ is the circumcenter of $ADE$. Prove that as $A$ varies, $O_A$ lies on a fixed circle.
Points $P$ and $Q$ are taken sides $AB$ and $AC$ of a triangle $ABC$ respectively such that $\hat{APC}=\hat{AQB}=45^{0}$. The line through $P$ perpendicular to $AB$ intersects $BQ$ at $S$, and the line through $Q$ perpendicular to $AC$ intersects $CP$ at $R$. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude of triangle $ABC$ from $A$. Prove that $SR\parallel BC$ and $PS,AD,QR$ are concurrent.
Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number. Prove that there exist at least 2 distinct primes $q_1, q_2$ satisfying $1 < q_i < p - 1$ and $q_i^{p-1} \not\equiv 1 \mbox{ (mod }p^2)$, for $i = 1, 2$.
Towns $A$, $B$ and $C$ are connected with a telecommunications cable. If you for example want to send a message from $A$ to $B$ is assigned to either a direct line between $A$ and $B$, or if necessary, a line via $C$. There are $43$ lines between $A$ and $B$, including those who go through $C$, and $29$ lines between $B$ and $C$, including those who go via $A$. How many lines, are there between $A$ and $C$ (including those who go via $B$)?
Consider the equilateral triangle $ABC$ with $|BC| = |CA| = |AB| = 1$.
On the extension of side $BC$, we define points $A_1$ (on the same side as B) and $A_2$ (on the same side as C) such that $|A_1B| = |BC| = |CA_2| = 1$. Similarly, we define $B_1$ and $B_2$ on the extension of side $CA$ such that $|B_1C| = |CA| =|AB_2| = 1$, and $C_1$ and $C_2$ on the extension of side $AB$ such that $|C_1A| = |AB| = |BC_2| = 1$. Now the circumcentre of 4ABC is also the centre of the circle that passes through the points $A_1,B_2,C_1,A_2,B_1$ and $C_2$.
Calculate the radius of the circle through $A_1,B_2,C_1,A_2,B_1$ and $C_2$.

Find all composite positive integers $a{}$ for which there exists a positive integer $b\geqslant a$ with the same number of divisors as $a{}$ with the following property: if $a_1<\cdots<a_n$ and $b_1<\cdots<b_n$ are the proper divisors of $a{}$ and $b{}$ respectively, then $a_i+b_i, 1\leqslant i\leqslant n$ are the proper divisors of some positive integer $c.{}$
A natural number $n$ is said to have the property $P$, if whenever $n$ divides $a^{n}-1$ for some integer $a$, $n^2$ also necessarily divides $a^{n}-1$.

[b]p1.[/b] One day, Granny Smith bought a certain number of apples at Horock’s Farm Market. When she returned the next day she found that the price of the apples was reduced by $20\%$. She could therefore buy more apples while spending the same amount as the previous day. How many percent more?
[b]p2.[/b] You are asked to move several boxes. You know nothing about the boxes except that each box weighs no more than $10$ tons and their total weight is $100$ tons. You can rent several trucks, each of which can carry no more than $30$ tons. What is the minimal number of trucks you can rent and be sure you will be able to carry all the boxes at once?

[b]p5.[/b] Several ants are crawling along a circle with equal constant velocities (not necessarily in the same direction).

Prove that, no matter how many ants and what their initial positions are, they will, at some time, all simultaneously return to the initial positions.
