Say that a (nondegenerate) triangle is [i]funny[/i] if it satisfies the following condition: the altitude, median, and angle bisector drawn from one of the vertices divide the triangle into 4 non-overlapping triangles whose areas form (in some order) a 4-term arithmetic sequence. (One of these 4 triangles is allowed to be degenerate.) Find with proof all funny triangles.

In the non-isosceles triangle $ABC$,$D$ is the midpoint of side $BC$,$E$ is the midpoint of side $CA$,$F$ is the midpoint of side $AB$.The line(different from line $BC$) that is tangent to the inscribed circle of triangle $ABC$ and passing through point $D$ intersect line $EF$ at $X$.Define $Y,Z$ similarly.Prove that $X,Y,Z$ are collinear.

We have an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, and $AA',BB'$ are its altitudes. A point $D$ is chosen on the arc $ACB$ of the circumcircle of $ABC$. If $P=AA'\cap BD,Q=BB'\cap AD$, show that the midpoint of $PQ$ lies on $A'B'$.

(a) The vertices of a regular $10$-gon are painted in turn black and white. Two people play the following game . Each in turn draws a diagonal connecting two vertices of the same colour . These diagonals must not intersect . The winner is the player who is able to make the last move. Who will win if both players adopt the best strategy?
(b) Answer the same question for the regular $12$-gon .

The equations of $L_1$ and $L_2$ are $y=mx$ and $y=nx$, respectively. Suppose $L_1$ makes twice as large of an angle with the horizontal (measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis ) as does $L_2$, and that $L_1$ has 4 times the slope of $L_2$. If $L_1$ is not horizontal, then $mn$ is
$\text{(A)} \ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \qquad \text{(B)} \ -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \qquad \text{(C)} \ 2 \qquad \text{(D)} \ -2 \qquad \text{(E)} \ \text{not uniquely determined}$

Terence Tao is playing rock-paper-scissors. Because his mental energy is focused on solving the twin primes conjecture, he uses the following very simple strategy:
·He plays rock first.
·On each subsequent turn, he plays a different move than the previous one, each with probability ½.
What is the probability that his 5th move will be rock?

Lysithea and Felix each have a take-out box, and they want to select among $42$ different types of sweets to put in their boxes. They each select an even number of sweets (possibly $0$) to put in their box. In each box, there is at most one sweet of any type, although the boxes may have sweets of the same type in common. The total number of sweets they take out is $42.$ Let $N$ be the number of ways can they select sweets to take out. Compute the remainder when $N$ is divided by $42^2 - 1.$

Let $n$ points, where there are not $3$ of them on a line, and consider the segments that are formed by connecting any $2$ of the points. There are enough colors available to paint the points and the segments, coloring them with the following two rules:
a) All the segments that reach the same point are painted of different colors.
b) Each point is painted a different color to all the segments that reach it.
Find the minimum number of colors needed to make such a coloring.

The diagonals of a quadrilateral $ ABCD$ are perpendicular: $ AC \perp BD.$ Four squares, $ ABEF,BCGH,CDIJ,DAKL,$ are erected externally on its sides. The intersection points of the pairs of straight lines $ CL, DF, AH, BJ$ are denoted by $ P_1,Q_1,R_1, S_1,$ respectively (left figure), and the intersection points of the pairs of straight lines $ AI, BK, CE DG$ are denoted by $ P_2,Q_2,R_2, S_2,$ respectively (right figure).
