Let $x$ and $y$ be positive integers that are at least $2$. Suppose Johnny hits $1$ out of every $10$ free throws, Abigail hits $1$ out of every $x$ free throws, and Demar hits $2$ out of every $y$ free throws. It turns out that the mean of Abigail's and Demar's individual free throw percentages are the same as Johnny's free throw percentage. Find the sum of all possible values of $x$. [i]Individual #4[/i]

Swiss NMO - geometry, 2006.5

A circle $k_1$ lies within a second circle $k_2$ and touches it at point $A$. A line through $A$ intersects $k_1$ again in $B$ and $k_2$ in $C$. The tangent to $k_1$ through $B$ intersects $k_2$ at points $D$ and $E$. The tangents at $k_1$ passing through $C$ intersects $k_1$ in points $F$ and $G$. Prove that $D, E, F$ and $G$ lie on a circle.

Pratyya and Payel have a number each, $n$ and $m$ respectively, where $n>m.$ Everyday, Pratyya multiplies his number by $2$ and then subtracts $2$ from it, and Payel multiplies his number by $2$ and then add $2$ to it. In other words, on the first day their numbers will be $(2n-2)$ and $(2m+2)$ respectively. Find minimum integer $x$ with proof such that if $n-m\geq x,$ then Pratyya's number will be larger than Payel's number everyday.
