Two circles $ \Omega_{1}$ and $ \Omega_{2}$ are externally tangent to each other at a point $ I$, and both of these circles are tangent to a third circle $ \Omega$ which encloses the two circles $ \Omega_{1}$ and $ \Omega_{2}$.
The common tangent to the two circles $ \Omega_{1}$ and $ \Omega_{2}$ at the point $ I$ meets the circle $ \Omega$ at a point $ A$. One common tangent to the circles $ \Omega_{1}$ and $ \Omega_{2}$ which doesn't pass through $ I$ meets the circle $ \Omega$ at the points $ B$ and $ C$ such that the points $ A$ and $ I$ lie on the same side of the line $ BC$.
Prove that the point $ I$ is the incenter of triangle $ ABC$.
[i]Alternative formulation.[/i] Two circles touch externally at a point $ I$. The two circles lie inside a large circle and both touch it. The chord $ BC$ of the large circle touches both smaller circles (not at $ I$). The common tangent to the two smaller circles at the point $ I$ meets the large circle at a point $ A$, where the points $ A$ and $ I$ are on the same side of the chord $ BC$. Show that the point $ I$ is the incenter of triangle $ ABC$.

Given two acute-angled triangles $ABC$ and $A'B'C'$ with the points $O$ and $O'$ inside. Three pairs of the perpendiculars are drawn: $[OA_1]$ to the side $[BC]$, $[O'A'_1]$ to the side $[B'C']$, $[OB_1]$ to the side $[AC]$, $[O'B'_1]$ to the side $[A'C']$, $[OC_1] $ to the side $[AB]$, $[O'C'_1]$ to the side $[A'B']$; It is known that $$[OA_1] \parallel [O'A'], [OB_1] \parallel [O'B'], [OC_1] \parallel [O'C'] $$ and
$$|OA_1|\cdot|O'A'| = |OB_1|\cdot |O'B'| = |OC_1|\cdot |O'C'|$$
Prove that $$[O'A'_1] \parallel [OA], [O'B'_1] \parallel[OB], [O'C'_1] \parallel[OC]$$
and $$|O'A'_1|\cdot|OA| = |O'B'_1|\cdot|OB| = |O'C'_1|\cdot|OC|$$

Emily draws six dots on a piece of paper such that no three lie on a straight line, then draws a line segment connecting each pair of dots. She then colors five of these segments red. Her coloring is said to be $\emph{red-triangle-free}$ if for every set of three points from her six drawn points there exists an uncolored segment connecting two of the three points. In how many ways can Emily color her drawing such that it is red-triangle-free?

Suppose we have $10$ balls and $10$ colors. For each ball, we (independently) color it one of the $10$ colors, then group the balls together by color at the end. If $S$ is the expected value of the square of the number of distinct colors used on the balls, find the sum of the digits of $S$ written as a decimal.

Five equally skilled tennis players named Allen, Bob, Catheryn, David, and Evan play in a round robin tournament, such that each pair of people play exactly once, and there are no ties. In each of the ten games, the two players both have a 50% chance of winning, and the results of the games are independent. Compute the probability that there exist four distinct players $P_1$, $P_2$, $P_3$, $P_4$ such that $P_i$ beats $P_{i+1}$ for $i=1, 2, 3, 4$. (We denote $P_5=P_1$).

We are given $n$ coins of different weights and $n$ balances, $n>2$. On each turn one can choose one balance, put one coin on the right pan and one on the left pan, and then delete these coins out of the balance. It's known that one balance is wrong (but it's not known ehich exactly), and it shows an arbitrary result on every turn. What is the smallest number of turns required to find the heaviest coin?
