Kevin runs uphill at a speed that is $4$ meters per second slower than his speed when he runs downhill. Kevin takes a total of $80$ seconds to run up and down a hill on one path. Given that the path is $300$ meters long (he travels $600$ meters total), find how long Kevin takes to run up the hill in seconds.

We will call a [i]hedgehog[/i] a graph in which one vertex is connected to all the others and there are no other edges; the number of vertices of this graph will be called the size of the hedgehog. A graph $G$ is given on $n$ vertices (where $n > 1$). For each edge $e$, we denote by $s(e)$ the size of the maximum hedgehog in graph $G$, which contains this edge. Prove the inequality (summation is carried out over all edges of the graph $G$):
\[\sum_e \frac{1}{s(e)} \leqslant \frac{n}{2}.\]

In $\triangle ABC$ let $D$ and $E$ be points on $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. The circumcircle of $\triangle CDE$ meets $AB$ again at $F$, and the circumcircle of $\triangle ACD$ meets $BC$ again at $G$. Show that if the circumcircles of $DFG$ and $ADE$ meet at $H$, then the three lines $AG$, $BE$, and $DH$ concur.

Find the largest possible integer $k$, such that the following statement is true:
Let $2009$ arbitrary non-degenerated triangles be given. In every triangle the three sides are coloured, such that one is blue, one is red and one is white. Now, for every colour separately, let us sort the lengths of the sides. We obtain
\[ \left. \begin{array}{rcl}
& b_1 \leq b_2\leq\ldots\leq b_{2009} & \textrm{the lengths of the blue sides }\\
& r_1 \leq r_2\leq\ldots\leq r_{2009} & \textrm{the lengths of the red sides }\\
\textrm{and } & w_1 \leq w_2\leq\ldots\leq w_{2009} & \textrm{the lengths of the white sides }\\
\end{array}\right.\]
Then there exist $k$ indices $j$ such that we can form a non-degenerated triangle with side lengths $b_j$, $r_j$, $w_j$.

Teeradet is a student in a class with $19$ people. He and his classmates form clubs, so that each club must have at least one student, and each student can be in more than one club. Suppose that any two clubs differ by at least one student, and all clubs Teeradet is in have an odd number of students. What is the maximum possible number of clubs?

Farmer John is grazing his cows at the origin. There is a river that runs east to west $50$ feet north of the origin. The barn is $100$ feet to the south and $80$ feet to the east of the origin. Farmer John leads his cows to the river to take a swim, then the cows leave the river from the same place they entered and Farmer John leads them to the barn. He does this using the shortest path possible, and the total distance he travels is $d$ feet. Find the value of $d$.

For $i = 1,2, \ldots, 1991$, we choose $n_i$ points and write number $i$ on them (each point has only written one number on it). A set of chords are drawn such that:
(i) They are pairwise non-intersecting.
(ii) The endpoints of each chord have distinct numbers.
If for all possible assignments of numbers the operation can always be done, find the necessary and sufficient condition the numbers $n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_{1991}$ must satisfy for this to be possible.

Let $C$ be a fixed circle, $u > 0$ be a fixed real and let $v_0 , v_1 , v_2 , \ldots$ be a sequence of positive real numbers. Two ants $A$ and $B$ walk around the perimeter of $C$ in opposite directions, starting from the same starting point. Ant $A$ has a constant speed $u$, while ant $B$ has an initial speed $v_0$. For each positive integer $n$, when the two ants collide for the $n$−th time, they change the directions in which they walk around the perimeter of $C$, with ant $A$ remaining at speed $u$ and ant $B$ stops walking at speed $v_{n-1}$ to walk at speed $v_n$.
(a) If the sequence $\{v_n\}$ is strictly increasing, with $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} v_n = +\infty$, prove that there is exactly one point in $C$ that ant $A$ will pass "infinitely" many times.
(b) Prove that there is a sequence $\{v_n\}$ with $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} v_n = +\infty$, such that ant $A$ will pass "infinitely" many times through all points on the circle $C$.
