Consider an acute-angled triangle $ABC$ with $AB<AC$ and let $\omega$ be its circumscribed circle. Let $t_B$ and $t_C$ be the tangents to the circle $\omega$ at points $B$ and $C$, respectively, and let $L$ be their intersection. The straight line passing through the point $B$ and parallel to $AC$ intersects $t_C$ in point $D$. The straight line passing through the point $C$ and parallel to $AB$ intersects $t_B$ in point $E$. The circumcircle of the triangle $BDC$ intersects $AC$ in $T$, where $T$ is located between $A$ and $C$. The circumcircle of the triangle $BEC$ intersects the line $AB$ (or its extension) in $S$, where $B$ is located between $S$ and $A$. Prove that $ST$, $AL$, and $BC$ are concurrent. $\text{Vangelis Psychas and Silouanos Brazitikos}$

Given a non-isosceles triangle $ABC$, let $D,E$, and $F$ denote the midpoints of the sides $BC,CA$, and $AB$ respectively. The circle $BCF$ and the line $BE$ meet again at $P$, and the circle $ABE$ and the line $AD$ meet again at $Q$. Finally, the lines $DP$ and $FQ$ meet at $R$. Prove that the centroid $G$ of the triangle $ABC$ lies on the circle $PQR$. [i](United Kingdom) David Monk[/i]

At a movie theater tickets for adults cost $4$ dollars more than tickets for children. One afternoon the theater sold $100$ more child tickets than adult tickets for a total sales amount of $1475$ dollars.

A right hexagon with side length $n$ is divided into tiles of three types, which are shown in the image, which are rhombuses with side length $1$ each and the acute angle $60$. In one move you can choose three tiles, arranged as shown in the image on the left, and rearrange them, as shown in the image on the right [img]https://iili.io/dxEvyqN.jpg[/img] Moves are made until it is impossible to make a move. a) Prove that for the fixed initial arrangement of tiles the same amount of moves would be made independent of the moves. b) For each positive integer $n$ find the maximum number of moves among all possible initial arrangements [i]M.

We are given a 7x7 square board. In each square, one of the diagonals is traced, and then one of the two formed triangles is colored blue. What is the largest area a continuous blue component can have? (Note: continuous blue component means a set of blue triangles connected via their edges, passing through corners is not permitted)
