Let $AD$ be the altitude, $AE$ be the median, and $O$ be the circumcenter of a triangle $ABC.$ Points $X$ and $Y$ are selected inside the triangle such that $\angle BAX=\angle CAY,$ $OX\perp AX,$ and $OY\perp AY.$ Prove that points $D,E,X,Y$ are concyclic. (M. Kurskiy)

2016 Romanian Master of Mathematics Shortlist, C3

A set $S=\{ s_1,s_2,...,s_k\}$ of positive real numbers is "polygonal" if $k\geq 3$ and there is a non-degenerate planar $k-$gon whose side lengths are exactly $s_1,s_2,...,s_k$; the set $S$ is multipolygonal if in every partition of $S$ into two subsets,each of which has at least three elements, exactly one of these two subsets in polygonal. Fix an integer $n\geq 7$. (a) Does there exist an $n-$element multipolygonal set, removal of whose maximal element leaves a multipolygonal set? (b) Is it possible that every $(n-1)-$element subset of an $n-$element set of positive real numbers be multipolygonal?

Fix $2n$ distinct reals $x_1,y_1,...,x_n,y_n$ and de ne the $n\times n$ matrix where its $(i, j)$-th element is $x_i + y_j$ for all $i, j = 1,..., n$. Show that if the products of the numbers in each column is always the same, then also the products of the numbers in each row is always the same. ( Alberto Alfarano)

In an acute triangle $ABC$ the angle $C$ is greater than the angle $A$. Let $AE$ be a diameter of the circumcircle of the triangle. Let the intersection point of the ray $AC$ and the tangent of the circumcircle through the vertex $B$ be $K$.

What conditions should real numbers $ a $, $ b $, $ c $, $ d $, $ e $, $ f $ meet in order for a polynomial of second degree $$ax^2 + 2bxy + cy^2 + 2dx + 2ey + f$$ was the product of two first degree polynomials with real coefficients ?

There are $n$ people arranged in a circle, and $n^{n^n}$ coins are distributed among them, where each person has at least $n^n$ coins. Each person is then assigned a random index number in $\{1,2,...n\}$ such that no two people have the same number. Then every minute, if $i$ is the number of minutes passed, the person with index number congruent to $i$ mod $n$ will give a coin to the person on his left or right. After some time, everyone has the same number of coins. For what $n$ is this always possible, regardless of the original distribution of coins and index numbers? [i](Proposed by Ho Janson)[/i]

An equilateral triangle with side 101 is placed on a plane so that one of its sides is horizontal and the triangle is above it. It is divided into smaller equilateral triangles with side 1 by segments parallel to its sides. All sides of these smaller triangles are colored red (including the entire border of the large triangle). An equilateral triangle on a plane is called a "mirror" triangle if its sides are parallel to the sides of the original triangle, but it lies below its horizontal side. What is the smallest number of contours of mirror triangles needed to cover all the red segments? (Mirror triangles may overlap and extend beyond the original triangle.)

Sigfried is singing the ABC’s $100$ times straight, for some reason. It takes him $20$ seconds to sing the ABC’s once, and he takes a $5$ second break in between songs. Normally, he sings the ABC’s without messing up, but he gets fatigued when singing correctly repeatedly. For any song, if he sung the previous three songs without messing up, he has a $\frac12$ chance of messing up and taking $30$ seconds for the song instead. What is the expected number of minutes it takes for Sigfried to sing the ABC’s $100$ times? Round your answer to the nearest minute.

Is it possible for some natural number $k$ to divide all natural numbers from $1$ to $k$ into two groups and write down the numbers in each group in a row in some order so that you get two the same numbers? [hide=original wording beacuse it doesn't make much sense]Можно ли при каком-то натуральном k разбить все натуральные числа от 1 до k на две группы и выписать числа в каждой группе подряд в некотором порядке так, чтобы получились два одинаковых числа?[/hide]
