Points $M$, $N$, $K$ lie on the sides $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ of a triangle $ABC$, respectively, and are different from its vertices. The triangle $MNK$ is called[i] beautiful[/i] if $\angle BAC=\angle KMN$ and $\angle ABC=\angle KNM$. If in the triangle $ABC$ there are two beautiful triangles with a common vertex, prove that the triangle $ABC$ is right-angled. [i]Proposed by Nairi M. Sedrakyan, Armenia[/i]

Juhan wants to order by weight five balls of pairwise different weight, using only a balance scale. First, he labels the balls with numbers 1 to 5 and creates a list of weighings, such that each element in the list is a pair of two balls. Then, for every pair in the list, he weighs the two balls against each other. Can Juhan sort the balls by weight, using a list with less than 10 pairs?

Let the set consisting of the squares of the positive integers be called $u$; thus $u$ is the set $1, 4, 9, 16 . . .$. If a certain operation on one or more members of the set always yields a member of the set, we say that the set is closed under that operation. Then $u$ is closed under: ${{ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{Addition}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \text{Multiplication} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \text{Division} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \text{Extraction of a positive integral root} }\qquad\textbf{(E)} \text{None of these} } $

There are infinitely many boxes - initially one of them contains $n$ balls and all others are empty. On a single move we take some balls from a non-empty box and put them into an empty box and on a sheet of paper we write down the product of the resulting amount of balls in the two boxes. After some moves, the sum of all numbers on the sheet of paper became $2023$. What is the smallest possible value of $n$?

A sequence of $2n + 1$ non-negative integers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2n + 1}$ is given. There's also a sequence of $2n + 1$ consecutive cells enumerated from $1$ to $2n + 1$ from left to right, such that initially the number $a_i$ is written on the $i$-th cell, for $i = 1, 2, ..., 2n + 1$. Starting from this initial position, we repeat the following sequence of steps, as long as it's possible: [i]Step 1[/i]: Add up the numbers written on all the cells, denote the sum as $s$. [i]Step 2[/i]: If $s$ is equal to $0$ or if it is larger than the current number of cells, the process terminates. Otherwise, remove the $s$-th cell, and shift shift all cells that are to the right of it one position to the left. Then go to Step 1. Example: $(1, 0, 1, \underline{2}, 0) \rightarrow (1, \underline{0}, 1, 0) \rightarrow (1, \underline{1}, 0) \rightarrow (\underline{1}, 0) \rightarrow (0)$. A sequence $a_1, a_2,. . . , a_{2n+1}$ of non-negative integers is called balanced, if at the end of this process there’s exactly one cell left, and it’s the cell that was initially enumerated by $(n + 1)$, i.e. the cell that was initially in the middle. Find the total number of balanced sequences as a function of $n$. [i]Proposed by Viktor Simjanoski, North Macedonia[/i]
