Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle and $H$ is orthocenter. Let $D$ be the intersection of $BH$ and $AC$ and $E$ be the intersection of $CH$ and $AB$. The circumcircle of $ADE$ cuts the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $F \neq A$. Prove that the angle bisectors of $\angle BFC$ and $\angle BHC$ concur at a point on $BC.$

[b]2.[/b] Let $n \geq 3$ be an integer. Prove that for all integers $k$, with $1 \leq k \leq \binom{n}{2}$, there exists a set $A$ with $n$ distinct positive integer elements such that the set $B = \{\gcd(x, y): x, y \in A, x \neq y \}$ (gotten from the greatest common divisor of all pairs of distinct elements from $A$) contains exactly $k$ distinct elements.

A function $f$, defined for the set of integers, is such that $f(x)=x-10$ if $x>100$ and $f(x)=f(f(x+11))$ if $x \leq 100$. Determine, justifying your answer, the set of all possible values for $f$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle and $AD$ a height. The angle bissector of $\angle DAC$ intersects $DC$ at $E$. Let $F$ be a point on $AE$ such that $BF$ is perpendicular to $AE$. If $\angle BAE=45º$, find $\angle BFC$.

Consider the sequence in which $a_1 = 1$ and $a_n$ is obtained by juxtaposing the decimal representation of $n$ at the end of the decimal representation of $a_{n-1}$. That is, $a_1 = 1$, $a_2 = 12$, $a_3 = 123$, $\dots$ , $a_9 = 123456789$, $a_{10} = 12345678910$ and so on. Prove that infinitely many numbers of this sequence are multiples of $7$.

We say that a polygon $P$ is [i]inscribed[/i] in another polygon $Q$ when all vertices of $P$ belong to perimeter of $Q$. We also say in this case that $Q$ is [i]circumscribed[/i] to $P$. Given a triangle $T$, let $l$ be the maximum value of the side of a square inscribed in $T$ and $L$ be the minimum value of the side of a square circumscribed to $T$. Prove that for every triangle $T$ the inequality $L/l \ge 2$ holds and find all the triangles $T$ for which the equality occurs.

Let $ ABC $ be an acutangle triangle and $ D $ any point on the $ BC $ side. Let $ E $ be the symmetrical of $ D $ in $ AC $ and $ F $ is the symmetrical $ D $ relative to $ AB $. $ A $ straight $ ED $ intersects straight $ AB $ at $ G $, while straight $ F D $ intersects the line $ AC $ in $ H $. Prove that the points $ A, E, F, G$ and $ H $ are on the same circumference.

[b]1.[/b] For each real number $r$ between $0$ and $1$ we can represent $r$ as an infinite decimal $r = 0.r_1r_2r_3\dots$ with $0 \leq r_i \leq 9$. For example, $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25000\dots$, $\frac{1}{3} = 0.333\dots$ and $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 0.707106\dots$. a) Show that we can choose two rational numbers $p$ and $q$ between $0$ and $1$ such that, from their decimal representations $p = 0.p_1p_2p_3\dots$ and $q = 0.q_1q_2q_3\dots$, it's possible to construct an irrational number $\alpha = 0.a_1a_2a_3\dots$ such that, for each $i = 1, 2, 3, \dots$, we have $a_i = p_1$ or $a_1 = q_i$. b) Show that there's a rational number $s = 0.s_1s_2s_3\dots$ and an irrational number $\beta = 0.b_1b_2b_3\dots$ such that, for all $N \geq 2017$, the number of indexes $1 \leq i \leq N$ satisfying $s_i \neq b_i$ is less than or equal to $\frac{N}{2017}$.
