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.

Hint: The sum of the angles in an $n$-gon is $(n-2)\cdot 180^\circ$
