A regular pentagon $ABCDE$ is given. The point $X$ is on his circumcircle, on the arc $\overarc{AE}$. Prove that $|AX|+|CX|+|EX|=|BX|+|DX|$. [u][b]Remark:[/b][/u] Here's a more general version of the problem: Prove that for any point $X$ in the plane, $|AX|+|CX|+|EX|\ge|BX|+|DX|$, with equality only on the arc $\overarc{AE}$.

A field is made of $2017 \times 2017$ unit squares. Luffy has $k$ gold detectors, which he places on some of the unit squares, then he leaves the area. Sanji then chooses a $1500 \times 1500$ area, then buries a gold coin on each unit square in this area and none other. When Luffy returns, a gold detector beeps if and only if there is a gold coin buried underneath the unit square it's on. It turns out that by an appropriate placement, Luffy will always be able to determine the $1500 \times 1500$ area containing the gold coins by observing the detectors, no matter how Sanji places the gold coins. Determine the minimum value of $k$ in which this is possible.

Let $I_B, I_C$ be the $B, C$-excenters of triangle $ABC$, respectively. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of $ABC$. If $BI_B$ is perpendicular to $AO$, $AI_C = 3$ and $AC = 4\sqrt2$, then $AB^2$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$. Note: In triangle $\vartriangle ABC$, the $A$-excenter is the intersection of the exterior angle bisectors of $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ACB$. The $B$-excenter and $C$-excenter are defined similarly.

Abolf is on the second step of a stairway to heaven in every step of this stairway except the first one which is the hell there is a devil who is either a human, an elf or a demon and tempts Abolf. The devil in the second step is Satan himself as one of three forms. Whenever an elf or a demon tries to tempt Abolf he resists and walks one step up but when a human tempts Abolf he is deceived and hence he walks one step down. However if Abolf is deceived by Satan for the first time he resists and does not fall down to hell but the second time he falls down to eternal hell. Every time a devil makes a temptation it changes its form from a human, an elf, a demon to an elf, a demon, a human respectively. Prove that Abolf passes each step after some time.

For every triangle $ABC$, denote by $D(ABC)$ the triangle whose vertices are the tangency points of the incircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ with the sides. Assume that $\vartriangle ABC$ is not equilateral. (a) Prove that $D(ABC)$ is also not equilateral.

There are $n$ parallel lines on a plane, and there is a set $S$ of distinct points. Each point in $S$ lies on one of the $n$ lines and is colored either red or blue. Determine the minimum value of $n$ such that if $S$ satisfies the following condition, it is guaranteed that there are infinitely many red points and infinitely many blue points. [list] [*] Each line contains at least one red point and at least one blue point from $S$. [*] Consider a triangle formed by three elements of $S$ located on three distinct lines.

Similarly, if two of the vertices are blue, there must exist a red point, not one of the vertices, either inside or on the boundary of the triangle. [/list]
