Given positive integer $n$ and $r$ pairwise distinct primes $p_1,p_2,\cdots,p_r.$ Initially, there are $(n+1)^r$ numbers written on the blackboard: $p_1^{i_1}p_2^{i_2}\cdots p_r^{i_r} (0 \le i_1,i_2,\cdots,i_r \le n).$
Alice and Bob play a game by making a move by turns, with Alice going first. In Alice's round, she erases two numbers $a,b$ (not necessarily different) and write $\gcd(a,b)$. In Bob's round, he erases two numbers $a,b$ (not necessarily different) and write $\mathrm{lcm} (a,b)$. The game ends when only one number remains on the blackboard.
Determine the minimal possible $M$ such that Alice could guarantee the remaining number no greater than $M$, regardless of Bob's move.

Let $O$ be the circumcenter of the acute triangle $ABC$. Suppose points $A',B'$ and $C'$ are on sides $BC,CA$ and $AB$ such that circumcircles of triangles $AB'C',BC'A'$ and $CA'B'$ pass through $O$. Let $\ell_a$ be the radical axis of the circle with center $B'$ and radius $B'C$ and circle with center $C'$ and radius $C'B$. Define $\ell_b$ and $\ell_c$ similarly. Prove that lines $\ell_a,\ell_b$ and $\ell_c$ form a triangle such that it's orthocenter coincides with orthocenter of triangle $ABC$.

$ABCD$ is a convex quadrilateral. We draw its diagnals to divide the quadrilateral to four triabgles. $P$ is the intersection of diagnals. $I_{1},I_{2},I_{3},I_{4}$ are excenters of $PAD,PAB,PBC,PCD$(excenters corresponding vertex $P$). Prove that $I_{1},I_{2},I_{3},I_{4}$ lie on a circle iff $ABCD$ is a tangential quadrilateral.

There is a game. The magician let the participant think up a positive integer (at least two digits). For example, an integer $ \displaystyle\overline{a_1a_2 \cdots a_n}$ is rearranged as $ \overline{a_{i_1}a_{i_2} \cdots a_{i_n}}$, that is, $ i_1, i_2, \cdots, i_n$ is a permutation of $ 1,2, \cdots, n$. Then we get $ n!\minus{}1$ integers. The participant is asked to calculate the sum of the $ n!\minus{}1$ numbers, then tell the magician the sum $ S$. The magician claims to be able to know the original number when he is told the sum $ S$. Try to decide whether the magician can be successful or not.

We say that a positive integer $n$ is lovely if there exist a positive integer $k$ and (not necessarily distinct) positive integers $d_1$, $d_2$, $\ldots$, $d_k$ such that $n = d_1d_2\cdots d_k$ and $d_i^2 \mid n + d_i$ for $i=1,2,\ldots,k$.

b) Is there a lovely number, greater than $1$, which is a perfect square of an integer?

In a rectangular plot of land, a man walks in a very peculiar fashion. Labeling the corners $ABCD$, he starts at $A$ and walks to $C$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $AD$, say $A_1$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $CD$ say $C_1$, and then the midpoint of $A_1D$ which is $A_2$. He continues in this fashion, indefinitely. The total length of his path if $AB=5$ and $BC=12$ is of the form $a + b\sqrt{c}$. Find $\displaystyle\frac{abc}{4}$.
