Circle $\omega$ with centre $M$ and diameter $XY$ is given. Point $A$ is chosen on $\omega$ so that $AX<AY$. Points $B, C$ are chosen on segments $XM, YM$, respectively, in a way that $BM=CM$. A parallel line to $AB$ is constructed through $C$; the line intersects $\omega$ at $P$ so that $P$ lies on the smaller arc $\widehat{AY}$. Similarly, a parallel line to $AC$ is constructed through $B$; the line intersects $\omega$ at $Q$ so that $Q$ lies on the smaller arc $\widehat{XA}$. Lines $PQ$ and $XY$ intersect at $S$. Prove that $AS$ is tangent to $\omega$.

JHMT Pizzeria messed up ordering boxes to put their $10$ inch pizza in. ($10$ inch pizza means the diameter of the pizza is $10$ inches) They accidentally ordered an $8\, in \times 8\, in$. box and they immediately need to deliver $10$ inch pizzas to customers, and they decide to cut the pizza minimally so that the most part of the pizza ts in to the $8\, in \times 8\, in$ box. The area they need to cut out from the original $10$ inch pizza can be written in form of $\alpha \arccos( \beta) - \gamma$ . Find the value of $\alpha \beta \gamma$, where $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ are integers and $\beta$ is a rational number strictly between $\frac12$ and $1$.

Let \( O \) be the circumcenter of \( \triangle ABC \). On the ray \( OP \) beyond \( P \), segment \( PX \) is marked such that \( PX = AQ \). On the ray \( OQ \) beyond \( Q \), segment \( QY \) is marked such that \( QY = AP \). Prove that the midpoint of side \( BC \), the midpoint of segment \( XY \), and the point \( O_9 \) are collinear.
[i]The nine-point circle or the Euler circle[/i] of \( \triangle ABC \) is the circle passing through nine significant points of the triangle — the midpoints of the three sides, the feet of the three altitudes, and the midpoints of the segments connecting the orthocenter with the vertices of \( \triangle ABC \).

Let $\theta$ be an obtuse angle with $\sin{\theta}=\frac{3}{5}$. If an ant starts at the origin and repeatedly moves $1$ unit and turns by an angle of $\theta$, there exists a region $R$ in the plane such that for every point $P\in R$ and every constant $c>0$, the ant is within a distance $c$ of $P$ at some point in time (so the ant gets arbitrarily close to every point in the set). What is the largest possible area of $R$?

A set of $1985$ points is distributed around the circumference of a circle and each of the points is marked with $1$ or $-1$. A point is called “good” if the partial sums that can be formed by starting at that point and proceeding around the circle for any distance in either direction are all strictly positive. Show that if the number of points marked with $-1$ is less than $662$, there must be at least one good point.

Bob proposes the following game to Johanna. The board in the figure is an equilateral triangle subdivided in turn into $256$ small equilateral triangles, one of which is painted in black. Bob chooses any point inside the board and places a small token. Johanna can make three types of plays. Each of them consists of choosing any of the $3$ vertices of the board and move the token to the midpoint between the current position of the tile and the chosen vertex. In the second figure we see an example of a move in which Johana chose vertex $A$. Johanna wins if she manages to place her piece inside the triangle black. Prove that Johanna can always win in at most $4$ moves.
