On a beach 50 people are wearing sunglasses and 35 people are wearing caps. Some people are wearing both sunglasses and caps. If one of the people wearing a cap is selected at random, the probability that this person is also wearing sunglasses is $\frac{2}{5}$. If instead, someone wearing sunglasses is selected at random, what is the probability that this person is also wearing a cap?

Determine all positive integers $n$ for which there exists an infinite subset $A$ of the set $\mathbb{N}$ of positive integers such that for all pairwise distinct $a_1,\ldots , a_n \in A$ the numbers $a_1+\ldots +a_n$ and $a_1a_2\ldots a_n$ are coprime.

In triangle $ABC$, $\angle A = 90^\circ$ and $\angle C = 70^\circ$. $F$ is point on $AB$ such that $\angle ACF = 30^\circ$, and $E$ is a point on $CA$ such that $\angle CF E = 20^\circ$. Prove that $BE$ bisects $\angle B$.
Karlson and Smidge divide a cake in a shape of a square in the following way. First, Karlson places a candle on the cake (chooses some interior point). Then Smidge makes a straight cut from the candle to the boundary in the direction of his choice. Then Karlson makes a straight cut from the candle to the boundary in the direction perpendicular to Smidge's cut. As a result, the cake is split into two pieces; Smidge gets the smaller one. Smidge wants to get a piece which is no less than a quarter of the cake. Can Karlson prevent Smidge from getting the piece of that size?
Let $a_{1},a_{2},...,a_{n+1}(n>1)$ are positive real numbers such that $a_{2}-a_{1}=a_{3}-a_{2}=...=a_{n+1}-a_{n}$. Prove that $\sum_{k=2}^{n}\frac{1}{a_{k}^{2}}\leq\frac{n-1}{2}.\frac{a_{1}a_{n}+a_{2}a_{n+1}}{a_{1}a_{2}a_{n}a_{n+1}}$
Two circles meeting at points $P$ and $R$ are given. Let $\ell_1$, $\ell_2$ be two lines passing through $P$. The line $\ell_1$ meets the circles for the second time at points $A_1$ and $B_1$. The tangents at these points to the circumcircle of triangle $A_1RB_1$ meet at point $C_1$. The line $C_1R$ meets $A_1B_1$ at point $D_1$. Points $A_2$, $B_2, C_2, D_2$ are defined similarly. Prove that the circles $D_1D_2P$ and $C_1C_2R$ touch.

For each positive integer \( n \), list in increasing order all irreducible fractions in the interval \([0, 1]\) that have a positive denominator less than or equal to \( n \):
\[
0 = \frac{p_0}{q_0} < \frac{1}{n} = \frac{p_1}{q_1} < \cdots < \frac{1}{1} = \frac{p_{M(n)}}{q_{M(n)}}.
\]
Let \( k \) be a positive integer. We define, for each \( n \) such that \( M(n) \geq k - 1 \),
\[
f_k(n) = \min \left\{ \sum_{s=0}^{k-1} q_{j+s} : 0 \leq j \leq M(n) - k + 1 \right\}.
\]
Determine, in function of \( k \),
\[
\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{f_k(n)}{n}.
\]
For example, if \( n = 4 \), the enumeration is
\[
\frac{0}{1} < \frac{1}{4} < \frac{1}{3} < \frac{1}{2} < \frac{2}{3} < \frac{3}{4} < \frac{1}{1},
\]
where \( p_0 = 0, p_1 = 1, p_2 = 1, p_3 = 1, p_4 = 2, p_5 = 3, p_6 = 1 \) and \( q_0 = 1, q_1 = 4, q_2 = 3, q_3 = 2, q_4 = 3, q_5 = 4, q_6 = 1 \). In this case, we have \( f_1(4) = 1, f_2(4) = 5, f_3(4) = 8, f_4(4) = 10, f_5(4) = 13, f_6(4) = 17 \), and \( f_7(4) = 18 \).
Let $ N > M > 1$ be fixed integers. There are $ N$ people playing in a chess tournament; each pair of players plays each other once, with no draws. It turns out that for each sequence of $ M \plus{} 1$ distinct players $ P_0, P_1, \ldots P_M$ such that $ P_{i \minus{} 1}$ beat $ P_i$ for each $ i \equal{} 1, \ldots, M$, player $ P_0$ also beat $ P_M$. Prove that the players can be numbered $ 1,2, \ldots, N$ in such a way that, whenever $ a \geq b \plus{} M \minus{} 1$, player $ a$ beat player $ b$.

Some $1\times 2$ dominoes, each covering two adjacent unit squares, are placed on a board of size $n\times n$ such that no two of them touch (not even at a corner). Given that the total area covered by the dominoes is $2008$, find the least possible value of $n$.
A cube has eight vertices (corners) and twelve edges. A segment, such as $x$, which joins two vertices not joined by an edge is called a diagonal. Segment $y$ is also a diagonal. How many diagonals does a cube have?

Let $k$, $n$ be fixed positive integers. In a circular table, there are placed pins numbered successively with the numbers $1, 2 \dots, n$, with $1$ and $n$ neighbors. It is known that pin $1$ is golden and the others are white. Arnaldo and Bernaldo play a game, in which a ring is placed initially on one of the pins and at each step it changes position. The game begins with Bernaldo choosing a starting pin for the ring, and the first step consists of the following: Arnaldo chooses a positive integer $d$ any and Bernaldo moves the ring $d$ pins clockwise or counterclockwise (positions are considered modulo $n$, i.e., pins $x$, $y$ equal if and only if $n$ divides $x-y$). After that, the ring changes its position according to one of the following rules, to be chosen at every step by Arnaldo:
[b]Rule 1:[/b] Arnaldo chooses a positive integer $d$ and Bernaldo moves the ring $d$ pins clockwise or counterclockwise.
[b]Rule 2:[/b] Arnaldo chooses a direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), and Bernaldo moves the ring in the chosen direction in $d$ or $kd$ pins, where $d$ is the size of the last displacement performed.
Arnaldo wins if, after a finite number of steps, the ring is moved to the golden pin. Determine, as a function of $k$, the values of $n$ for which Arnaldo has a strategy that guarantees his victory, no matter how Bernaldo plays.
Let $a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots,a_6$ be an arithmetic sequence with common difference $3$. Suppose that $a_1$, $a_3$, and $a_6$ also form a geometric sequence. Compute $a_1$.
Henry starts with a list of the first 1000 positive integers, and performs a series of steps on the list. At each step, he erases any nonpositive integers or any integers that have a repeated digit, and then decreases everything in the list by 1. How many steps does it take for Henry's list to be empty?
