I could not find any ways to get $\angle x + \angle y$.

Best Answer

This is an irregular hexagon so the sum of the interior angles is $720^\circ.$

$\angle p+\angle q +\angle r + \angle s + (360^\circ-\angle x) + (360^\circ - \angle y)= 720^\circ$
$30^\circ+45^\circ+50^\circ+25^\circ+360^\circ-\angle x+360^\circ-\angle y=720^\circ$
$150^\circ=\angle x+\angle y$

All the best for the olympiad.
