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.

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 $PQR$.

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. How many dollars would the theater have taken in if the same tickets were sold, but the costs of the child tickets and adult tickets were reversed?

Two circles intersect at points $A$ and $B$. Through point $B$, a straight line intersects the circles at points $C$ and $D$, and then tangents to the circles are drawn through points $C$ and $D$. Prove that the points $A, D, C$ and $P$ - the intersection point of the tangents - lie on the same circle.

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)
