Let $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ with center $O_1$ and $O_2$ respectively, meet at points $A$ and $B$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be points on $\omega_1$. Lines $XA$ and $Y A$ meet $\omega_2$ at $Z$ and $W$, respectively, such that $A$ lies between $X$ and $Z$ and between $Y$ and $W$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $O_1O_2$, $S$ be the midpoint of $XA$ and $T$ be the midpoint of $W A$. Prove that $MS = MT$ if and only if $X,~ Y ,~ Z$ and $W$ are concyclic.

Robin is playing notes on an 88-key piano. He starts by playing middle C, which is actually the 40th lowest note on the piano (i.e. there are 39 notes lower than middle C). After playing a note, Robin plays with probability $\tfrac12$ the lowest note that is higher than the note he just played, and with probability $\tfrac12$ the highest note that is lower than the note he just played. What is the probability that he plays the highest note on the piano before playing the lowest note?

Consider 2 non-constant polynomials $P(x),Q(x)$, with nonnegative coefficients. The coefficients of $P(x)$ is not larger than $2021$ and $Q(x)$ has at least one coefficient larger than $2021$.

Show that [b]exactly two[/b] of the following three properties are satisfied: (i) If $a,b \in S$, then $a*b \in S$. (ii) $(a*b)*c=a*(b*c)$ for all $a,b,c \in S$. (iii) There exists an element $i \in S$ such that $a *i =a$ for all $a \in S$.

Initially, on the blackboard are written all natural numbers from $1$ to $20$. A move consists of selecting $2$ numbers $a<b$ written on the blackboard such that their difference is at least $2$, erasing these numbers and writting $a+1$ and $b-1$ instead. What is the maximum numbers of moves one can perform?

Let the [i]square decomposition[/i] of a number be defined as the sequence of numbers given by the following algorithm. Given a positive integer $n$, add the largest possible perfect square that is less than or equal to $n$ to a sequence, and then subtract that number from $n$. Repeat as many times as necessary until your current $n$ is $0$. So for example, the square decomposition of $60$ would be $49, 9, 1, 1$. Define the size of a square decomposition to be the number of numbers in the sequence. Say that the maximal size of a square decomposition of a number in the range $[1, 2020]$ is $m$. Find the largest number in the range $[1, 2020]$ that has a square decomposition of size $m$. [i]Proposed by Timothy Qian[/i]
