There are 60 empty boxes $B_1,\ldots,B_{60}$ in a row on a table and an unlimited supply of pebbles. Given a positive integer $n$, Alice and Bob play the following game. In the first round, Alice takes $n$ pebbles and distributes them into the 60 boxes as she wishes. Each subsequent round consists of two steps: (a) Bob chooses an integer $k$ with $1\leq k\leq 59$ and splits the boxes into the two groups $B_1,\ldots,B_k$ and $B_{k+1},\ldots,B_{60}$. (b) Alice picks one of these two groups, adds one pebble to each box in that group, and removes one pebble from each box in the other group. Bob wins if, at the end of any round, some box contains no pebbles. Find the smallest $n$ such that Alice can prevent Bob from winning. [i]Czech Republic[/i]

Consider a charged capacitor made with two square plates of side length $L$, uniformly charged, and separated by a very small distance $d$. The EMF across the capacitor is $\xi$. One of the plates is now rotated by a very small angle $\theta$ to the original axis of the capacitor. Find an expression for the difference in charge between the two plates of the capacitor, in terms of (if necessary) $d$, $\theta$, $\xi$, and $L$. Also, approximate your expression by transforming it to algebraic form: i.e. without any non-algebraic functions. For example, logarithms and trigonometric functions are considered non-algebraic. Assume $ d << L $ and $ \theta \approx 0 $. $\emph{Hint}$: You may assume that $ \frac {\theta L}{d} $ is also very small. [i]Problem proposed by Trung Phan[/i] [hide="Clarification"] There are two possible ways to rotate the capacitor. Both were equally scored but this is what was meant: [asy]size(6cm); real h = 7; real w = 2; draw((-w,0)--(-w,h)); draw((0,0)--(0,h), dashed); draw((0,0)--h*dir(64)); draw(arc((0,0),2,64,90)); label("$\theta$", 2*dir(77), dir(77)); [/asy] [/hide]

In a non-isosceles triangle $ABC$ the centre of the incircle is denoted by $I$. The other intersection point of the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ and the circumcircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ is $D$. The line through $I$ perpendicular to $AD$ intersects $BC$ in $F$. The midpoint of the circle arc $BC$ on which $A$ lies, is denoted by $M$.
