2022 Bulgarian Spring Math Competition, Problem 12.3

Let $P,Q\in\mathbb{R}[x]$, such that $Q$ is a $2021$-degree polynomial and let $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots , a_{2022}, b_{1}, b_{2}, \ldots , b_{2022}$ be real numbers such that $a_{1}a_{2}\ldots a_{2022}\neq 0$. If for all real $x$ \[P(a_{1}Q(x) + b_{1}) + \ldots + P(a_{2021}Q(x) + b_{2021}) = P(a_{2022}Q(x) + b_{2022})\] prove that $P(x)$ has a real root.

Chris and Michael play a game on a board which is a rhombus of side length $n$ (a positive integer) consisting of two equilateral triangles, each of which has been divided into equilateral triangles of side length $ 1$. Each has a single token, initially on the leftmost and rightmost squares of the board, called the “home” squares (the illustration shows the case $n = 4$). [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/e/b/8135203c22ce77c03c144850099ad1c575edb8.png[/img] A move consists of moving your token to an adjacent triangle (two triangles are adjacent only if they share a side). To win the game, you must either capture your opponent’s token (by moving to the triangle it occupies), or move on to your opponent’s home square. Supposing that Chris moves first, which, if any, player has a winning strategy?

Justin the robot is on a mission to rescue abandoned treasure from a minefield. To do this, he must travel from the point $(0, 0, 0)$ to $(4, 4, 4)$ in three-dimensional space, only taking one-unit steps in the positive $x, y,$ or $z$-directions. However, the evil David anticipated Justin's arrival, and so he has surreptitiously placed a mine at the point $(2,2,2)$. If at any point Justin is at most one unit away from this mine (in any direction), the mine detects his presence and explodes, thwarting Justin. How many paths can Justin take to reach his destination safely? [i]Proposed by Justin Stevens[/i]

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 $M$. The other intersection point of the line $MI$ and the circle through $B, I$ and $C$, is denoted by $N$. Prove that $FN$ is tangent to the circle through $B, I$ and $C$.

$n > 10$ teams take part in a football tournament. Every team plays exactly once against each other. A win gives two points, a draw a point, and a defeat no point. After the tournament it turns out that each team gets exactly half their points in the games against the bottom $10$ teams has won (in particular, each of these $10$ teams has won the made half their points against the $9$ remaining). Determine all possible values ​​of $n$, and give an example of such a tournament for these values.

Triangle $\triangle ABC$ has $\angle{A}=90^\circ$ with $BC=12$. Square $BCDE$ is drawn such that $A$ is in its interior. The line through $A$ tangent to the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ intersects $CD$ and $BE$ at $P$ and $Q$, respectively. If $PA=4\cdot QA$, and the area of $\triangle ABC$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, then compute $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Andy Xu[/i]

Xavier takes a permutation of the numbers $1$ through $2011$ at random, where each permutation has an equal probability of being selected. He then cuts the permutation into increasing contiguous subsequences, such that each subsequence is as long as possible. Compute the expected number of such subsequences. [i]Author: Alex Zhu[/i] [hide="Clarification"]An increasing contiguous subsequence is an increasing subsequence all of whose terms are adjacent in the original sequence. For example, 1,3,4,5,2 has two maximal increasing contiguous subsequences: (1,3,4,5) and (2). [/hide]

Eve randomly chooses two $\textbf{distinct}$ points on the coordinate plane from the set of all $11^2$ lattice points $(x, y)$ with $0 \le x \le 10$, $0 \le y \le 10$. Then, Anne the ant walks from the point $(0,0)$ to the point $(10, 10)$ using a sequence of one-unit right steps and one-unit up steps. Let $P$ be the number of paths Anne could take that pass through both of the points that Eve chose. The expected value of $P$ is $\dbinom{20}{10} \cdot \dfrac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b$. Compute $100a+b$. [i]Proposed by Michael Tang[/i]
