Nikhil writes out the nine letters V, M, T, E, I, G, H, T, H in some order. Garrett goes through and highlights V , M, and one of the Ts yellow and the remaining letters pink such that the yellow letters spell V, M, T in that order (ignoring the pink) and the pink letters spell E, I, G, H, T, H in that order (ignoring the yellow). In how many orders could Nikhil have written out the nine letters from V, M, T, E, I, G, H, T, H?

Prove that there exists a positive constant c such that the following statement is true:

Consider an integer n>1, and a set S of n points in the plane such that the distance between any two different points in S is at least 1. It follows that there is a line L separating S such that the distance from any point of S to L is at least cn-1/3.

(A line L separates a set of points S if some segment joining two points in S crosses L.)

Let AB be a chord of a circle w, and let P be a point on the chord AB. Circle w1 passes through A and P and is internally tangent to w. Circle w2 passes through B and P and is internally tangent to w. Circles w1 and w2 intersect at points P and Q. Line PQ intersects w at X and Y. Assume that AP = 5, PB = 3, XY = 11, and PQ2 = m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.

In the Year 0 of Cambridge there is one squirrel and one rabbit. Both animals multiply in numbers quickly. In particular, if there are m squirrels and n rabbits in Year k, then there will be 2m + 2019 squirrels and 4n − 2 rabbits in Year k + 1. What is the first year in which there will be strictly more rabbits than squirrels?
