Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB \neq AC$ and with incenter $I$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$, and let $L$ be the midpoint of the circular arc $BAC$. Lines through $M$ parallel to $BI,CI$ meet $AB,AC$ at $E$ and $F$, respectively, and meet $LB$ and $LC$ at $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Show that $I$ lies on the radical axis of the circumcircles of triangles $EMF$ and $PMQ$. Proposed by [i]Andrew Wu[/i]

Let $C$ be a fixed circle, $u > 0$ be a fixed real and let $v_0 , v_1 , v_2 , \ldots$ be a sequence of positive real numbers. Two ants $A$ and $B$ walk around the perimeter of $C$ in opposite directions, starting from the same starting point. Ant $A$ has a constant speed $u$, while ant $B$ has an initial speed $v_0$. For each positive integer $n$, when the two ants collide for the $n$−th time, they change the directions in which they walk around the perimeter of $C$, with ant $A$ remaining at speed $u$ and ant $B$ stops walking at speed $v_{n-1}$ to walk at speed $v_n$. (a) If the sequence $\{v_n\}$ is strictly increasing, with $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} v_n = +\infty$, prove that there is exactly one point in $C$ that ant $A$ will pass "infinitely" many times. (b) Prove that there is a sequence $\{v_n\}$ with $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} v_n = +\infty$, such that ant $A$ will pass "infinitely" many times through all points on the circle $C$.

2023 Iran MO (3rd Round), 3

There's infinity of the following blocks on the table:$1*1 , 1*2 , 1*3 ,.., 1*n$. We have a $n*n$ table and Ali chooses some of these blocks so that the sum of their area is at least $n^2$. Then , Amir tries to cover the $n*n$ table so that none of blocks go out of the table and they don't overlap and he wanna maximize the covered area in the $n*n$ table with those blocks chosen by Ali. Let $k$ be the maximum coverable area independent of Ali's choice. Prove that: $$n^2 - \lceil \frac{n^2}{4} \rceil \leq k \leq n^2 - \lfloor \frac{n^2}{8} \rfloor$$ *Note : the blocks can be placed only vertically or horizontally.

A wizard thinks of a number from $1$ to $n$. You can ask the wizard any number of yes/no questions about the number. The wizard must answer all those questions, but not necessarily in the respective order. What is the least number of questions that must be asked in order to know what the number is for sure.

Mrs. Walter gave an exam in a mathematics class of five students. She entered the scores in random order into a spreadsheet, which recalculated the class average after each score was entered. Mrs. Walter noticed that after each score was entered, the average was always an integer. The scores (listed in ascending order) were $ 71$, $ 76$, $ 80$, $ 82$, and $ 91$. What was the last score Mrs. Walter entered? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 71 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 76 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 80 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 82 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 91$

Half the cells of a $2m \times n$ board are colored black and the other half are colored white. The cells at the opposite ends of the main diagonal are different colors. The center of each black cell is connected to the center of every other black cell by a straight line segment, and similarly for the white cells. Show that we can place an arrow on each segment so that it becomes a vector and the vectors sum to zero.

Kelvin the frog is on the bottom-left lily pad of a $3 \times 3$ grid of lily pads, and his home is at the top right lily pad. He can only jump between two lily pads which are horizontally or vertically adjacent. Compute the number of ways to remove $4$ of the lily pads so that the bottom-left and top-right lily pads both remain, but Kelvin cannot get home.
