When rolling two normal dice, the set of possible outcomes of the sum of the points is $2, 3, 3, 4,4, 4,..., 11, 11,12$. Notice that this sequence can be obtained from the identity $$(x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6) (x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6) = x^2 + 2x^3 + 3x^4 +... + 2x^{11} + x^{12}.$$ Design a crazy pair of dice, that is, two other cubes, not necessarily the same, with a natural number indicated on each face, such that the set of possible results of the sum of its points is equal to of two normal dice.
A right triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in the circular base of a cone. If two of the side lengths of $ABC$ are $3$ and $4$, and the distance from the vertex of the cone to any point on the circumference of the base is $3$, then the minimum possible volume of the cone can be written as $\frac{m\pi\sqrt{n}}{p}$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are positive integers, $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime, and $n$ is squarefree. Find $m + n + p$.
Let $ABCDE$ be an equiangular convex pentagon of perimeter $1$. The pairwise intersections of the lines that extend the side of the pentagon determine a five-pointed star polygon. Let $s$ be the perimeter of the star. What is the difference between the maximum and minimum possible perimeter of $s$?

Let $ABC$ with $AB<AC<BC$ be an acute angled triangle and $c$ its circumcircle. Let $D$ be the point diametrically opposite to $A$.
Point $K$ is on $BD$ such that $KB=KC$. The circle $(K, KC)$ intersects $AC$ at point $E$. Prove that the circle $(BKE)$ is tangent to $c$.
$n$ people met at the party, with $n \ge 2$. Each person dislikes exactly one other person present at the party (but not necessarily reciprocal, i.e. it may happen that $A$ dislikes $B$ even though $B$ does not dislike $A$) and likes all others. Prove that guests can be seated at three tables in such a way that each guest likes all the people at his table.
Find all positive integer bases $b \ge 9$ so that the number
\[ \frac{{\overbrace{11 \cdots 1}^{n-1 \ 1's}0\overbrace{77 \cdots 7}^{n-1\ 7's}8\overbrace{11 \cdots 1}^{n \ 1's}}_b}{3} \]

On the $2004$ iTest, we defined an [i]optimus [/i] prime to be any prime number whose digits sum to a prime number. (For example, $83$ is an optimus prime, because it is a prime number and its digits sum to $11$, which is also a prime number.) Given that you select a prime number under $100$, find the probability that is it not an optimus prime.
For a nonempty set $A$ of integers, let $\mathrm{range} \, A=\max A-\min A$. Find the number of subsets $S$ of
\[ \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\} \]
such that $\mathrm{range} \, S$ is an element of $S$.
In an acute scalene triangle $ABC$, points $D,E,F$ lie on sides $BC, CA, AB$, respectively, such that $AD \perp BC, BE \perp CA, CF \perp AB$. Altitudes $AD, BE, CF$ meet at orthocenter $H$. Points $P$ and $Q$ lie on segment $EF$ such that $AP \perp EF$ and $HQ \perp EF$. Lines $DP$ and $QH$ intersect at point $R$. Compute $HQ/HR$.

Consider a checkered $3m\times 3m$ square, where $m$ is an integer greater than $1.$ A frog sits on the lower left corner cell $S$ and wants to get to the upper right corner cell $F.$ The frog can hop from any cell to either the next cell to the right or the next cell upwards.
Some cells can be [i]sticky[/i], and the frog gets trapped once it hops on such a cell. A set $X$ of cells is called [i]blocking[/i] if the frog cannot reach $F$ from $S$ when all the cells of $X$ are sticky. A blocking set is [i] minimal[/i] if it does not contain a smaller blocking set.[list=a][*]Prove that there exists a minimal blocking set containing at least $3m^2-3m$ cells.
[*]Prove that every minimal blocking set containing at most $3m^2$ cells.

[*] $Z$ is the centroid of $\triangle BCY$

Karina, Leticia and Milena paint glass bottles and sell them as decoration. they had $100$ bottles, and they decorated them in such a way that each bottle was painted by a single person. After the finished, they put all the bottles on a table. In an oversight one of them pushed the table, falling and breaking exactly $\frac18$ of the bottles that Karina painted, $\frac13$ of the bottles that Milena, painted and $\frac16$ of the bottles that Leticia painted. In total, $82$ painted bottles remained unbroken.
Knowing that the number of broken bottles that Milena had painted is equal to the average of the amounts of broken bottles painted by Karina and Leticia, how many bottles did each of them paint?

Some time ago, on a radio program, a baker announced a special promotion in the purchase of two stuffed cakes. Each cake could contain up to five fillings of which had in the pastry. On the show, a lady said there were $1,048,576$ different possibilities to choose the two stuffed cakes. How many different fillings did the pastry chef have?
Ten cars are moving at the road. There are some cities at the road. Each car is moving with some constant speed through cities and with some different constant speed outside the cities (different cars may move with different speed). There are 2011 points at the road. Cars don't overtake at the points. Prove that there are 2 points such that cars pass through these points in the same order.
