Starting with the triple $(1007\sqrt{2},2014\sqrt{2},1007\sqrt{14})$, define a sequence of triples $(x_{n},y_{n},z_{n})$ by
$x_{n+1}=\sqrt{x_{n}(y_{n}+z_{n}-x_{n})}$
$y_{n+1}=\sqrt{y_{n}(z_{n}+x_{n}-y_{n})}$
$ z_{n+1}=\sqrt{z_{n}(x_{n}+y_{n}-z_{n})}$
for $n\geq 0$.Show that each of the sequences $\langle x_n\rangle _{n\geq 0},\langle y_n\rangle_{n\geq 0},\langle z_n\rangle_{n\geq 0}$ converges to a limit and find these limits.

In a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, consider quadrilateral $KLMN$ formed by the centers of mass of triangles $ABC, BCD, DBA, CDA$. Prove that the straight lines connecting the midpoints of the opposite sides of quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet at the same point as the straight lines connecting the midpoints of the opposite sides of $KLMN$.

Two points on the distance 1 are given in a plane. It is allowed to draw a line through two marked points, as well as a circle centered in a marked point with radius equal to the distance between some two marked points. By marked points we mean the two initial points and intersection points of two lines, two circles, or a line and a circle constructed so far. Let $C(n)$ be the minimum number of circles needed to construct two points on the distance $n$ if only a compass is used, and let $LC(n)$ be the minimum total number of circles and lines needed to do so if a ruler and a compass are used, where $n$ is a natural
number. Prove that the sequence $C(n)/LC(n)$ is not bounded.

The number $328$ is written on the board. Two players alternate writing positive divisors of $328$ on the board, subject to the following rules:
$\bullet$ No divisor of a previously written number may be written.
$\bullet$ The player who writes 328 loses.
Who has a winning strategy, the first player or the second player?

Anna and Boris move simultaneously towards each other, from points A and B respectively. Their speeds are constant, but not necessarily equal. Had Anna started 30 minutes earlier, they would have met 2 kilometers nearer to B. Had Boris started 30 minutes earlier instead, they would have met some distance nearer to A. Can this distance be uniquely determined?

A massless elastic cord (that obeys Hooke's Law) will break if the tension in the cord exceeds $T_{max}$. One end of the cord is attached to a fixed point, the other is attached to an object of mass $3m$. If a second, smaller object of mass m moving at an initial speed $v_0$ strikes the larger mass and the two stick together, the cord will stretch and break, but the final kinetic energy of the two masses will be zero. If instead the two collide with a perfectly elastic one-dimensional collision, the cord will still break, and the larger mass will move off with a final speed of $v_f$. All motion occurs on a horizontal, frictionless surface.
Find $v_f/v_0$.

Georg writes the numbers from $1$ to $15$ on different pieces of paper.
He attempts to sort these pieces of paper into two stacks so that none of the stacks contains two numbers whose sum is a square number.Prove that this is impossible.
(The square numbers are the numbers $0 = 0^2$, $1 = 1^2$, $4 = 2^2$, $9 = 3^2$ etc.)

There is a circle $c$ centered about the origin of radius $ 1$. There are circles $c_1$,$ . . .$ ,$c_6$, each of radius $r_1$, such that each circle is completely inside c and is tangent to it, and $c_2$ is tangent to $c_1$, $c_3$ is tangent to $c_2$, . . ., and $c_1$ is tangent to $c_6$. There is a circle $d$ which is tangent to $c$, $c_1$, and $c_2$, but does not intersect any of these circles. What is the radius of circle $d$? Express your answer in the form $\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ , where $a,b,c,d$ are integers, $d$ is positive and as small as possible, and $c$ is squarefree.
