Felix picks four points uniformly at random inside a unit circle $\mathcal{C}$. He then draws the four possible triangles which can be formed using these points as vertices. Finally, he randomly chooses of the six possible pairs of the triangles he just drew.
What is the probability that the center of the circle $\mathcal{C}$ is contained in the union of the interiors of the two triangles that Felix chose?

Let $a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n$ be a sequence of real numbers with $a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n=0$. Define the score $S(\sigma)$ of a permutation $\sigma=(b_1, \cdots b_n)$ of $(a_1, \cdots a_n)$ to be the minima of the sum $$(x_1-b_1)^2+\cdots+(x_n-b_n)^2$$ over all real numbers $x_1\le \cdots \le x_n$.
Prove that $S(\sigma)$ attains the maxima over all permutations $\sigma$, if and only if for all $1\le k\le n$, $$b_1+b_2+\cdots+b_k\ge 0.$$

They are going to make two straight cuts on the cake, thus obtaining $4$ portions in the shape of a quadrilateral. Then Facundo will be left with two portions that do not share any side, the other two will be for Luca. Show how they can cut the cuts so that both children get the same amount of cake. Justify why cutting in this way achieves the objective.

A tortoise is given an $80$-second head start in a race. When Achilles catches up to where the tortoise was when he (Achilles) began running, he finds that while he is now $40$ meters ahead of the starting line, the tortoise is now $5$ meters ahead of him. At this point, how long will it be, in seconds, before Achilles passes the tortoise?

A cube stands on one of the squares of an infinite chessboard.
On each face of the cube there is an arrow pointing in one of the four directions
parallel to the sides of the face. Anton looks on the cube from above and
rolls it over an edge in the direction pointed by the arrow on the top face.
Prove that the cube cannot cover any $5\times 5$ square.

Let $C (O)$ be a circle (with center $O$ ) and $A, B$ points on the circle with $\angle AOB = 90^o$. Circles $C_1 (O_1)$ and $C_2 (O_2)$ are tangent internally with circle $C$ at $A$ and $B$, respectively, and, also, are tangent to each other.

Show that the points $O, O_1, O_2, O_3$ are the vertices of a rectangle.
