Let $a < b < c < d < e$ be real numbers. We calculate all possible sums in pairs of these 5 numbers. Of these 10 sums, the three smaller ones are 32, 36, 37, while the two larger ones are 48 and 51. Determine all possible values ​​that $e$ can take.

Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer. In a group of $2k+1$ people, some are sincere (they always tell the truth) and the rest are unpredictable (sometimes they tell the truth and sometimes they lie). It is known that the unpredictable ones are at most $k$. Someone outside the group must determine who is sincere and who is unpredictable through a sequence of steps. In each step he chooses two people $A$ and $B$ from the group and asks $A$ is $B$ sincere? Show that after $3k$ steps the stranger will be able to classify with certainty the $2k+1$ people in the group. (Before asking each question, the answers to the previous questions are known.) Clarification: Each of the $2k+1$ people in the group knows which ones are sincere and which ones are unpredictable.

Three circles, with radii of $1, 1$, and $2$, are externally tangent to each other. The minimum possible area of a quadrilateral that contains and is tangent to all three circles can be written as $a + b\sqrt{c}$ where $c$ is not divisible by any perfect square larger than $1$. Find $a + b + c$

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 $b_j$, $r_j$, $w_j$.

Let $O$ be the circumcenter of triangle $ABC$. Define $O_{A0} = O_{B0} = O_{C0} = O$. Recursively, define $O_{An}$ to be the circumcenter of $\vartriangle BO_{A(n-1)}C$. Similarly define $O_{Bn}, O_{Cn}$. Find all $n \ge 1$ so that for any triangle $ABC$ such that $O_{An}, O_{Bn}, O_{Cn}$ all exist, it is true that $AO_{An}, BO_{Bn}, CO_{Cn}$ are concurrent. (Li4)

There are $n \ge 7$ points in the plane, no $3$ of which are collinear. At least $7$ pairs of points are joined by line segments. For every aforementioned line segment $s$, let $t(s)$ be the number of triangles for which the segment $s$ is a side. Prove that there exist different line segments $s_1, s_2, s_3,$ and $s_4$ such that \[t(s_1) = t(s_2) = t(s_3) = t(s_4)\] holds. Proposed by [i]Viktor Simjanoski[/i]
