To the exterior of side $AB$ of square $ABCD$, we have drawn the regular triangle $ABE$. Point $A$ reflected on line $BE$ is $F$, and point $E$ reflected on line $BF$ is $G$. Let the perpendicular bisector of segment $FG$ meet segment $AD$ at $X$. Show that the circle centered at $X$ with radius $XA$ touches line$ FB$.

Consider the main diagonal and the cells above it in an \( n \times n \) grid. These cells form what we call a tabular triangle of length \( n \). We want to place a real number in each cell of a tabular triangle of length \( n \) such that for each cell, the sum of the numbers in the cells in the same row and the same column (including itself) is zero. For example, the sum of the cells marked with a circle is zero. It is known that the number in the topmost and leftmost cell is $1.$ Find all possible ways to fill the remaining cells.

The teacher wrote on a blackboard: $$x^2 + 10x + 20$$ Then all the pupils in the class came up in turn and either decreased or increased by $1$ either the free coefficient or the coefficient at $x$, but not both. Finally they have obtained: $$x^2 + 20x + 10$$ Is it true that some time during the process there was written the square polynomial with the integer roots?

Given a $n\times m$ grid we play the following game . Initially we place $M$ tokens in each of $M$ empty cells and at the end of the game we need to fill the whole grid with tokens.For that purpose we are allowed to make the following move:If an empty cell shares a common side with at least two other cells that contain a token then we can place a token in this cell.Find the minimum value of $M$ in terms of $m,n$ that enables us to win the game.

A lattice point in the coordinate plane with origin $O$ is called invisible if the segment $OA$ contains a lattice point other than $O,A$. Let $L$ be a positive integer. Show that there exists a square with side length $L$ and sides parallel to the coordinate axes, such that all points in the square are invisible.

An infinite number of participants gathered for the Olympiad, who were registered under the numbers $1, 2,\ldots$. It turns out that for every $n = 1, 2,\ldots$ a participant with number $n{}$ has at least $n{}$ friends among the remaining participants (note: friendship is mutual). There is a hotel with an infinite number of double rooms. Prove that the participants can be accommodated in double rooms so that there is a couple of friends in each room. [i]Proposed by V.

Stierlitz wants to send an encryption to the Center, which is a code containing $100$ characters, each a "dot" or a "dash". The instruction he received from the Center the day before about conspiracy reads: i) when transmitting encryption over the radio, exactly $49$ characters should be replaced with their opposites; ii) the location of the "wrong" characters is decided by the transmitting side and the Center is not informed of it. Prove that Stierlitz can send $10$ encryptions, each time choosing some $49$ characters to flip, such that when the Center receives these $10$ ciphers, it may unambiguously restore the original code.

A triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a circle $S$. Let $A_0$ and $C_0$ be the midpoints of the arcs $BC$ and $AB$ on $S$, not containing the opposite vertex, respectively. The circle $S_1$ centered at $A_0$ is tangent to $BC$, and the circle $S_2$ centered at $C_0$ is tangent to $AB$. Prove that the incenter $I$ of $\triangle ABC$ lies on a common tangent to $S_1$ and $S_2$.
