Given is an acute $\triangle ABC$ with orthocenter $H$. The point $H'$ is symmetric to $H$ over the side $AB$. Let $N$ be the intersection point of $HH'$ and $AB$. The circle passing through $A$, $N$ and $H'$ intersects $AC$ for the second time in $M$, and the circle passing through $B$, $N$ and $H'$ intersects $BC$ for the second time in $P$.

Richard comes across an infinite row of magic hats, $H_1, H_2, \dots$ each of which may contain a dollar bill with probabilities $p_1, p_2, \dots$. If Richard draws a dollar bill from $H_i$, then $p_{i+1} = p_i$, and if not, $p_{i+1}=\frac{1}{2}p_i$. If $p_1 = \frac{1}{2}$ and $E$ is the expected amount of money Richard makes from all the hats, compute $\lfloor 100E \rfloor$.

In the plane, there are $n \geqslant 6$ pairwise disjoint disks $D_{1}, D_{2}, \ldots, D_{n}$ with radii $R_{1} \geqslant R_{2} \geqslant \ldots \geqslant R_{n}$. For every $i=1,2, \ldots, n$, a point $P_{i}$ is chosen in disk $D_{i}$. Let $O$ be an arbitrary point in the plane. Prove that \[O P_{1}+O P_{2}+\ldots+O P_{n} \geqslant R_{6}+R_{7}+\ldots+R_{n}.\]

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers. Fuming Zeng gives James a rectangle, such that $m-1$ lines are drawn parallel to one pair of sides and $n-1$ lines are drawn parallel to the other pair of sides (with each line distinct and intersecting the interior of the rectangle), thus dividing the rectangle into an $m\times n$ grid of smaller rectangles. Fuming Zeng chooses $m+n-1$ of the $mn$ smaller rectangles and then tells James the area of each of the smaller rectangles. Of the $\dbinom{mn}{m+n-1}$ possible combinations of rectangles and their areas Fuming Zeng could have given, let $C_{m,n}$ be the number of combinations which would allow James to determine the area of the whole rectangle. Given that \[A=\sum_{m=1}^\infty \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{C_{m,n}\binom{m+n}{m}}{(m+n)^{m+n}},\] then find the greatest integer less than $1000A$.

Consider a $2018 \times 2019$ board with integers in each unit square. Two unit squares are said to be neighbours if they share a common edge. In each turn, you choose some unit squares. Then for each chosen unit square the average of all its neighbours is calculated. Finally, after these calculations are done, the number in each chosen unit square is replaced by the corresponding average.
Is it always possible to make the numbers in all squares become the same after finitely many turns?

In the country Máxico are two islands, the island "Mayor" and island "Menor". The island "Mayor" has $k>3$ states, with exactly $n>3$ cities each one. The island "Menor" has only one state with $31$ cities. "Aeropapantla" and "Aerocenzontle" are the airlines that offer flights in Máxico. "Aeropapantla" offer direct flights from every city in Máxico to any other city in Máxico. "Aerocenzontle" only offers direct flights from every city of the island "Mayor" to any other city of the island "Mayor".
If the percentage of flights that connect two cities in the same state it´s the same for the flights of each airline, What is the least number of cities that can be in the island "Mayor"?
