$AB$ is a chord of $O$ and $AB$ is not a diameter of $O$. The tangent lines to $O$ at $A$ and $B$ meet at $C$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoint of the segments $AC$ and $BC$, respectively. A circle passing through $C$ and tangent to $O$ meets line $MN$ at $P$ and $Q$. Prove that $\angle PCQ = \angle CAB$.

Let $S = \{x_0, x_1,\dots , x_n\}$ be a finite set of numbers in the interval $[0, 1]$ with $x_0 = 0$ and $x_1 = 1$. We consider pairwise distances between numbers in $S$. If every distance that appears, except the distance $1$, occurs at least twice, prove that all the $x_i$ are rational.

Let $\alpha\geq 1$ be a real number. Define the set $$A(\alpha)=\{\lfloor \alpha\rfloor,\lfloor 2\alpha\rfloor, \lfloor 3\alpha\rfloor,\dots\}$$ Suppose that all the positive integers that [b]does not belong[/b] to the $A(\alpha)$ are exactly the positive integers that have the same remainder $r$ in the division by $2021$ with $0\leq r<2021$. Determine all the possible values of $\alpha$.

Let $n > 1$ be a given integer. Prove that infinitely many terms of the sequence $(a_k )_{k\ge 1}$, defined by \[a_k=\left\lfloor\frac{n^k}{k}\right\rfloor,\] are odd. (For a real number $x$, $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the largest integer not exceeding $x$.) [i]Proposed by Hong Kong[/i]

One day, Rabbit was about to go for a meeting with Donkey, but Winnie the Pooh and Duck unexpectedly came to his home. Being well-bred, Rabbit offered the guests some refreshments. Pooh tied Duck’s mouth by a napkin and ate $10$ pots of honey and $22$ cups of condensed milk alone, whereby he needed two minutes for each pot of honey and $1$ minute for each cup of milk. Knowing that there was nothing sweet left in the house, Pooh released the Duck. Afflicted Rabbit observed that he wouldn’t have been late for the meeting with Donkey if Pooh had shared the refreshments with Duck. Knowing that Duck needs $5$ minutes for a pot of honey and $3$ minutes for a cup of milk, he computed the time the guests would have needed to devastate his supplies. What is that time?

2011 Canadian Mathematical Olympiad Qualification Repechage, 2

Brennan chooses a set $A = \{a, b,c, d, e \}$ of five real numbers with $a \leq b \leq c \leq d \leq e.$ Delaney determines the subsets of $A$ containing three numbers and adds up the numbers in these subsets. She obtains the sums $0, 3; 4, 8; 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 19.$ What are the five numbers in Brennan's set?

Let $OX, OY$ and $OZ$ be three rays in the space, and $G$ a point "[i]between these rays[/i]" (i. e. in the interior of the part of the space bordered by the angles $Y OZ, ZOX$ and $XOY$). Consider a plane passing through $G$ and meeting the rays $OX, OY$ and $OZ$ in the points $A, B, C$, respectively. There are infinitely many such planes; construct the one which minimizes the volume of the tetrahedron $OABC$.
