Q1.

Let $p$ be the least prime number for which there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $n^{4}+1$ is divisible by $p^{2}$. Find the least positive integer $m$ such that $m^{4}+1$ is divisible by $p^{2}$.

Answer must be a floating-point or integer value and precision error less than 10^-6 is allowed.

Q2.

Rectangles $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ are drawn such that $D,E,C,F$ are collinear. Also, $A,D,H,G$ all lie on a circle. If $BC=16$,$AB=107$,$FG=17$, and $EF=184$, what is the length of $CE$?

[asy] import graph; unitsize(0.1cm);  pair A = (0,0);pair B = (70,0);pair C = (70,16);pair D = (0,16);pair E = (3,16);pair F = (90,16);pair G = (90,33);pair H = (3,33); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^E^^F^^G^^H); label("$A$", A, S);label("$B$", B, S);label("$C$", C, N);label("$D$", D, N);label("$E$", E, S);label("$F$", F, S);label("$G$", G, N);label("$H$", H, N); draw(E--D--A--B--C--E--H--G--F--C); [/asy]

Q3.

Alice and Bob play the following game. A stack of $n$ tokens lies before them. The players take turns with Alice going first. On each turn, the player removes either $1$ token or $4$ tokens from the stack. Whoever removes the last token wins. Find the number of positive integers $n$ less than or equal to $2024$ for which there exists a strategy for Bob that guarantees that Bob will win the game regardless of Alice's play.

Answer must be a floating-point or integer value and precision error less than 10^-6 is allowed.

Q4.

Every morning Aya goes for a $9$-kilometer-long walk and stops at a coffee shop afterwards. When she walks at a constant speed of $s$ kilometers per hour, the walk takes her 4 hours, including $t$ minutes spent in the coffee shop. When she walks $s+2$ kilometers per hour, the walk takes her 2 hours and 24 minutes, including $t$ minutes spent in the coffee shop. Suppose Aya walks at $s+\frac{1}{2}$ kilometers per hour. Find the number of minutes the walk takes her, including the $t$ minutes spent in the coffee shop.

Answer must be a floating-point or integer value and precision error less than 10^-6 is allowed.
