A sphere touches all edges of a tetrahedron. Let $a, b, c$ and d be the segments of the tangents to the sphere from the vertices of the tetrahedron. Is it true that that some of these segments necessarily form a triangle? (It is not obligatory to use all segments. The side of the triangle can be formed by two segments)

2013 Cuba MO, 1

Determine the smallest integer $n \ge 2012$ for which it is possible to have $16$ consecutive integers on a $4 \times 4$ board so that, if we select $4$ elements of which there are not two in the same row or in the same column, the sum of them is always equal to $n$. For the $n$ found, show how to fill the board.

There are 32 people at a conference. Initially nobody at the conference knows the name of anyone else. The conference holds several 16-person meetings in succession, in which each person at the meeting learns (or relearns) the name of the other fifteen people. What is the minimum number of meetings needed until every person knows everyone else's name?

For an $A=\{ a_i\}^{\infty}_{i=0}$ sequence let $SA=\{ a_0, a_0+a_1, a_0+a_1+a_2, \ldots\}$ be the sequence of partial sums of the $a_0+a_1+\ldots$ series. Does there exist a non-identically zero sequence $A$ such that all of the sequences $A, SA, SSA, SSSA, \ldots$ are convergent? (translated by Miklós Maróti)

Isosceles trapezoid $ABCD$ has side lengths $AB = 6$ and $CD = 12$, while $AD = BC$. It is given that $O$, the circumcenter of $ABCD$, lies in the interior of the trapezoid. The extensions of lines $AD$ and $BC$ intersect at $T$. Given that $OT = 18$, the area of $ABCD$ can be expressed as $a + b\sqrt{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers where $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a+b+c$.

2017 Costa Rica - Final Round, 3

A game consists of a grid of $4\times 4$ and tiles of two colors (Yellow and White). A player chooses a type of token and gives it to the second player who places it where he wants, then the second player chooses a type of token and gives it to the first who places it where he wants, They continue in this way and the one who manages to form a line with three tiles of the same color wins (horizontal, vertical or diagonal and regardless of whether it is the tile you started with or not). Before starting the game, two yellow and two white pieces are already placed as shows the figure below.

If Yolanda starts (choosing the token and giving it to Xinia for this to place) indicate if there is a winning strategy for either of the two players and, if any, describe the strategy.

Given a rectangle $EFGH$ with $EF=3$ and $FG=2010,$ mark a point $P$ on $FG$ such that $FP=4.$ A laser beam is shot from $E$ to $P,$ which then reflects off $FG,$ then $EH,$ then $FG,$ etc. Once it reaches some point of $GH,$ the beam is absorbed; it stops reflecting. How far does the beam travel?
