We are given three points $A,B,C$ on a semicircle. The tangent lines at $A$ and $B$ to the semicircle meet the extension of the diameter at points $M,N$ respectively. The line passing through $A$ that is perpendicular to the diameter meets $NC$ at $R$, and the line passing through $B$ that is perpendicular to the diameter meets $MC$ at $S$. If the line $RS$ meets the extension of the diameter at $Z$, prove that $ZC$ is tangent to the semicircle.

You are presented with a mystery function $f:\mathbb N^2\to\mathbb N$ which is known to satisfy \[f(x+1,y)>f(x,y)\quad\text{and}\quad f(x,y+1)>f(x,y)\] for all $(x,y)\in\mathbb N^2$. I will tell you the value of $f(x,y)$ for \$1. What's the minimum cost, in dollars, that it takes to compute the $19$th smallest element of $\{f(x,y)\mid(x,y)\in\mathbb N^2\}$? Here, $\mathbb N=\{1,2,3,\dots\}$ denotes the set of positive integers.

Let ${A}$ be a finite collection of squares in the coordinate plane such that the vertices of all squares that belong to ${A}$ are ${(m, n), (m + 1, n), (m, n + 1)}$, and ${(m + 1, n + 1)}$ for some integers ${m}$ and ${n}$. Show that there exists a subcollection ${B}$ of ${A}$ such that ${B}$ contains at least ${25 \% }$ of the squares in ${A}$, but no two of the squares in ${B}$ have a common vertex.

The numbers \( 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 60 \) are written in a row in that exact order. Igor and Ruslan take turns inserting the signs \( +, -, \times \) between them, starting with Igor. Each turn consists of placing one sign. Once all signs are placed, the value of the resulting expression is computed. If the value is divisible by $3$, Igor wins; otherwise, Ruslan wins. Which player has a winning strategy regardless of the opponent’s moves? \\

How many true statements did Benedek write down?
The symbol | denotes divisibility, e.g. $6 | 4!$ means that $6$ is a divisor of number $4!$.
