Estonia Open Junior - geometry, 2001.1.3

Consider points $C_1, C_2$ on the side $AB$ of a triangle $ABC$, points $A_1, A_2$ on the side $BC$ and points $B_1 , B_2$ on the side $CA$ such that these points divide the corresponding sides to three equal parts. It is known that all the points $A_1, A_2, B_1, B_2 , C_1$ and $C_2$ are concyclic. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is equilateral.

Three unit circles $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$, and $\omega_3$ in the plane have the property that each circle passes through the centers of the other two. A square $S$ surrounds three circles in such a way that each of its four sides is tangent to at least one of $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$, and $\omega_3$. Find the side length of the square $S$.

Yannick has a bicycle lock with a $4$-digit passcode whose digits are between $0$ and $9$ inclusive. (Leading zeroes are allowed.) The dials on the lock is currently set at $0000$. To unlock the lock, every second he picks a contiguous set of dials, and increases or decreases all of them by one, until the dials are set to the passcode. For example, after the first second the dials could be set to $1100$, $0010$, or $9999$, but not $0909$ or $0190$. (The digits on each dial are cyclic, so increasing $9$ gives $0$, and decreasing $0$ gives $9$.) Let the complexity of a passcode be the minimum number of seconds he needs to unlock the lock. What is the maximum possible complexity of a passcode, and how many passcodes have this maximum complexity? Express the two answers as an ordered pair.

Consider the Pascal's triangle in the figure where the binomial coefficients are arranged in the usual manner. Select any binomial coefficient from anywhere except the right edge of the triangle and labet it $C$. To the right of $C$, in the horizontal line, there are $t$ numbers, we denote them as $a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_t$, where $a_t = 1$ is the last number of the series. Consider the line parallel to the left edge of the triangle containing $C$, there will only be $t$ numbers diagonally above $C$ in that line. We successively name them as $b_1,b_2,\cdots,b_t$, where $b_t = 1$. Show that \[b_ta_1-b_{t-1}a_2+b_{t-2}a_3-\cdots+(-1)^{t-1}b_1a_t = 1\]. For example, Suppose you choose $\binom41 = 4$ (see figure), then $t = 3$, $a_1 = 6, a_2 = 4, a_3 = 1$ and $b_1 = 3, b_2 = 2, b_3 = 1$. \[\begin{array}{ccccccccccc} & & & & & 1 & & & & & \\ & & & & 1 & & \underset{b_3}{1} & & & & \\ & & & 1 & & \underset{b_2}{2} & & 1 & & & \\ & & 1 & & \underset{b_1}{3} & & 3 & & 1 & & \\ & 1 & & \boxed{4} & & \underset{a_1}{6} & & \underset{a_2}{4} & & \underset{a_3}{1} & \\ \ldots & & \ldots & & \ldots & & \ldots & & \ldots & & \ldots \\ \end{array}\]

While finding the sine of a certain angle, an absent-minded professor failed to notice that his calculator was not in the correct angular mode. He was lucky to get the right answer. The two least positive real values of $x$ for which the sine of $x$ degrees is the same as the sine of $x$ radians are $\frac{m\pi}{n-\pi}$ and $\frac{p\pi}{q+\pi},$ where $m,$ $n,$ $p$ and $q$ are positive integers. Find $m+n+p+q.$

Let $\pi$ be a given permutation of the set $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$. Determine the smallest possible value of \[ \sum_{i=1}^n |\pi(i) - \sigma(i)|, \] where $\sigma$ is a permutation chosen from the set of all $n$-cycles. Express the result in terms of the number and lengths of the cycles in the disjoint cycle decomposition of $\pi$, including the fixed points.

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=6, BC=8, AC=10$, and let $D$ be a point such that if $I_A, I_B, I_C, I_D$ are the incenters of the triangles $BCD,$ $ ACD,$ $ ABD,$ $ ABC$, respectively, the lines $AI_A, BI_B, CI_C, DI_D$ are concurrent. If the volume of tetrahedron $ABCD$ is $\frac{15\sqrt{39}}{2}$, then the sum of the distances from $D$ to $A,B,C$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{a}{b}$ for some positive relatively prime integers $a,b$. Find $a+b$. [i]Proposed by [b]FedeX333X[/b][/i]

Fill in each empty white circle with a number from $1$ to $16$ so that each number is used exactly once. One number has been given to you. If a square has a given number inside and its four vertices contain the numbers $a, b, c, d$ in clockwise order, then the number inside the square must be equal to $(a + c)(b + d)$. There is a unique solution, but you do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible. You merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)
