Let NN be the number of ways to draw 22 straight edges between 10 labeled points, of which no three are collinear, such that no triangle with vertices among these 10 points is created, and there is at most one edge between any two labeled points. Compute N9!\dfrac{N}{9!}.

Consider ABC\vartriangle ABC such that CA+AB=3BCCA + AB = 3BC. Let the incircle ω\omega touch segments CA\overline{CA} and AB\overline{AB} at EE and FF, respectively, and define PP and QQ such that segments PE\overline{P E} and QF\overline{QF} are diameters of ω\omega. Define the function DD of a point KK to be the sum of the distances from KK to PP and QQ (i.e. D(K)=KP+KQD(K) = KP + KQ). Let W,X,YW, X, Y , and ZZ be points chosen on lines BC\overleftrightarrow {BC}, CE\overleftrightarrow {CE}, EF\overleftrightarrow {EF}, and FB\overleftrightarrow {F B}, respectively. Given that BC=133BC =\sqrt{133} and the inradius of ABC\vartriangle ABC is 14\sqrt{14}, compute the minimum value of D(W)+D(X)+D(Y)+D(Z)D(W) + D(X) + D(Y ) + D(Z).

Given a positive integer nn, define fn(x)f_n(x) to be the number of square-free positive integers kk such that kxnkx \le n. Then, define v(n)v_(n) as v(n)=i=1nj=1nfn(i2)6fn(ij)+fn(j2).v(n) =\sum^n_{i=1}\sum^n_{j=1}f_n(i^2)- 6f_n (ij) + f_n(j^2). Compute the largest positive integer 2n1002 \le n \le 100 for which v(n)v(n1)v(n)-v(n-1) is negative. (Note: A square-free positive integer is a positive integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime.)
