1995 China Team Selection Test, 2

Given a fixed acute angle $\theta$ and a pair of internally tangent circles, let the line $l$ which passes through the point of tangency, $A$, cut the larger circle again at $B$ ($l$ does not pass through the centers of the circles). Let $M$ be a point on the major arc $AB$ of the larger circle, $N$ the point where $AM$ intersects the smaller circle, and $P$ the point on ray $MB$ such that $\angle MPN = \theta$. Find the locus of $P$ as $M$ moves on major arc $AB$ of the larger circle.

Five people take a true-or-false test with five questions. Each person randomly guesses on every question. Given that, for each question, a majority of test-takers answered it correctly, let $p$ be the probability that every person answers exactly three questions correctly. Suppose that $p=\tfrac{a}{2^b}$ where $a$ is an odd positive integer and $b$ is a nonnegative integer. Compute $100a+b.$

Circle $\omega$ with centre $M$ and diameter $XY$ is given. Point $A$ is chosen on $\omega$ so that $AX<AY$. Points $B, C$ are chosen on segments $XM, YM$, respectively, in a way that $BM=CM$.

JHMT Pizzeria messed up ordering boxes to put their $10$ inch pizza in. ($10$ inch pizza means the diameter of the pizza is $10$ inches) They accidentally ordered an $8\, in \times  8\, in$. box and they immediately need to deliver $10$ inch pizzas to customers, and they decide to cut the pizza minimally so that the most part of the pizza ts in to the $8\, in \times  8\, in$ box. The area they need to cut out from the original $10$ inch pizza can be written in form of $\alpha \arccos( \beta ) - \gamma$ . Find the value of $\alpha \beta \gamma$, where $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ are integers and $\beta$ is a rational number strictly between $\frac12$ and $1$.

A subset $\bf{S}$ of the plane is called [i]convex[/i] if given any two points $x$ and $y$ in $\bf{S}$, the line segment joining $x$ and $y$ is contained in $\bf{S}$. A quadrilateral is called [i]convex[/i] if the region enclosed by the edges of the quadrilateral is a convex set. Show that given a convex quadrilateral $Q$ of area $1$, there is a rectangle $R$ of area $2$ such that $Q$ can be drawn inside $R$.

On sides \( AB \) and \( AC \) of an acute-angled, non-isosceles triangle \( ABC \), points \( P \) and \( Q \) are chosen such that the center \( O_9 \) of the nine-point circle of \( \triangle ABC \) is the midpoint of segment \( PQ \). Let \( O \) be the circumcenter of \( \triangle ABC \). On the ray \( OP \) beyond \( P \), segment \( PX \) is marked such that \( PX = AQ \). On the ray \( OQ \) beyond \( Q \), segment \( QY \) is marked such that \( QY = AP \). Prove that the midpoint of side \( BC \), the midpoint of segment \( XY \), and the point \( O_9 \) are collinear. [i]The nine-point circle or the Euler circle[/i] of \( \triangle ABC \) is the circle passing through nine significant points of the triangle — the midpoints of the three sides, the feet of the three altitudes, and the midpoints of the segments connecting the orthocenter with the vertices of \( \triangle ABC \).

Let $\theta$ be an obtuse angle with $\sin{\theta}=\frac{3}{5}$. If an ant starts at the origin and repeatedly moves $1$ unit and turns by an angle of $\theta$, there exists a region $R$ in the plane such that for every point $P\in R$ and every constant $c>0$, the ant is within a distance $c$ of $P$ at some point in time (so the ant gets arbitrarily close to every point in the set). What is the largest possible area of $R$? [i]2020 CCA Math Bonanza Individual Round #15[/i]

A set of $1985$ points is distributed around the circumference of a circle and each of the points is marked with $1$ or $-1$. A point is called “good” if the partial sums that can be formed by starting at that point and proceeding around the circle for any distance in either direction are all strictly positive. Show that if the number of points marked with $-1$ is less than $662$, there must be at least one good point.
