Given a triangle $ABC$. Let $\Omega$ be the circumscribed circle of this triangle, and $\omega$ be the inscribed circle of this triangle. Let $\delta$ be a circle that touches the sides $AB$ and $AC$, and also touches the circle $\Omega$ internally at point $D$. The line $AD$ intersects the circle $\Omega$ at two points $P$ and $Q$ ($P$ lies between $A$ and $Q$). Let $O$ and $I$ be the centers of the circles $\Omega$ and $\omega$. Prove that $OD \parallel IQ$.

a) Consider the function $$f(x,y) = x^2 + xy + y^2$$ Prove that for the every point $(x,y)$ there exist such integers $(m,n)$, that $$f((x-m),(y-n)) \le 1/2$$ b) Let us denote with $g(x,y)$ the least possible value of the $f((x-m),(y-n))$ for all the integers $m,n$. The statement a) was equal to the fact $g(x,y) \le 1/2$. Prove that in fact, $$g(x,y) \le 1/3$$ Find all the points $(x,y)$, where $g(x,y)=1/3$. c) Consider function $$f_a(x,y) = x^2 + axy + y^2 \,\,\, (0 \le a \le 2)$$ Find any $c$ such that $g_a(x,y) \le c$. Try to obtain the closest estimation.

$22$ mathematicians are meeting together. Each mathematician has at least $3$ friends (friends are mutual). And each mathematician can pass his or her information to any mathematician through the transfer between friends. Is it possible to divide these $22$ mathematicians into $2$-person groups (that is, two people in each group, a total of $11$ groups), so that the mathematicians in each group are friends?

Let $n$ be a positive integer. A mouse sits at each corner point of an $n\times n$ board, which is divided into unit squares as shown below for the example $n=5$. [asy] unitsize(5mm); defaultpen(linewidth(.5pt)); fontsize(25pt); for(int i=0; i<=5; ++i) { for(int j=0; j<=5; ++j) { draw((0,i)--(5,i)); draw((j,0)--(j,5)); }} dot((0,0)); dot((5,0)); dot((0,5)); dot((5,5)); [/asy] The mice then move according to a sequence of [i]steps[/i], in the following manner: (a) In each step, each of the four mice travels a distance of one unit in a horizontal or vertical direction. Each unit distance is called an [i]edge[/i] of the board, and we say that each mouse [i]uses[/i] an edge of the board. (b) An edge of the board may not be used twice in the same direction. (c) At most two mice may occupy the same point on the board at any time. The mice wish to collectively organize their movements so that each edge of the board will be used twice (not necessarily be the same mouse), and each mouse will finish up at its starting point. Determine, with proof, the values of $n$ for which the mice may achieve this goal.
