Dima invented a secret code in which every letter is replaced by a word no longer than $10$ letters. A code is called “good” if every encoded word can be decoded in only one way. Serjozha (with the help of a computer) checked that for Dima’s code, every possible word of at most $10000$ letters can be decoded in only one way. Does it follow that Dima’s code is good? (Note that Dima and Serjozha are Russian, so they use the Cyrillic alphabet, which has $ 33$ letters! A word is any sequence of letters.)

Point $M$ lies on the diagonal $BD$ of parallelogram $ABCD$ such that $MD = 3BM$. Lines $AM$ and $BC$ intersect in point $N$. What is the ratio of the area of triangle $MND$ to the area of parallelogram $ABCD$?
For a finite set $A$ of positive integers, a partition of $A$ into two disjoint nonempty subsets $A_1$ and $A_2$ is $\textit{good}$ if the least common multiple of the elements in $A_1$ is equal to the greatest common divisor of the elements in $A_2$. Determine the minimum value of $n$ such that there exists a set of $n$ positive integers with exactly $2015$ good partitions.

Tireless Thomas and Jeremy construct a sequence. At the beginning there is one positive integer in the sequence. Then they successively write new numbers in the sequence in the following way: Thomas obtains the next number by adding to the previous number one of its (decimal) digits, while Jeremy obtains the next number by subtracting from the previous number one of its digits. Prove that there is a number in this sequence which will be repeated at least $100$ times.

Estimate the number of characters, excluding spaces, in the \LaTeX~source file for this Lightning Round, which includes the answer sheets and exactly one Asymptote diagram. Your score is determined by the function $max\{0, 20 - \lfloor \frac{|A - E|}{20}\rfloor\}$where $A$ is the actual answer, and $E$ is your estimate?

Quadrilateral $ABCD$ with side lengths $AB=7, BC = 24, CD = 20, DA = 15$ is inscribed in a circle. The area interior to the circle but exterior to the quadrilateral can be written in the form $\frac{a\pi - b}{c}$, where $a, b,$ and $c$ are positive integers such that $a$ and $c$ have no common prime factor. What is $a+b+c$?
