A quadrilateral $ABCD$ is circumscribed about a circle. Lines $AC$ and $DC$ meet at point $E$ and lines $DA$ and $BC$ meet at $F$, where $B$ is between $A$ and $E$ and between $C$ and $F$. Let $I_1, I_2$ and $I_3$ be the incenters of triangles $AFB, BEC$ and $ABC$, respectively. The line $I_1I_3$ intersects $EA$ at $K$ and $ED$ at $L$, whereas the line $I_2I_3$ intersects $FC$ at $M$ and $FD$ at $N$. Prove that $EK = EL$ if and only if $FM = FN$

Let $n\geq 3$ be a positive integer and a circle $\omega$ is given. A regular polygon(with $n$ sides) $P$ is drawn and your vertices are in the circle $\omega$ and these vertices are red. One operation is choose three red points $A,B,C$, such that $AB=BC$ and delete the point $B$. Prove that one can do some operations, such that only two red points remain in the circle.

Let $E$ be a finite set, $P_E$ the family of its subsets, and $f$ a mapping from $P_E$ to the set of non-negative reals, such that for any two disjoint subsets $A,B$ of $E$, $f(A\cup B)=f(A)+f(B)$. Prove that there exists a subset $F$ of $E$ such that if with each $A \subset E$, we associate a subset $A'$ consisting of elements of $A$ that are not in $F$, then $f(A)=f(A')$ and $f(A)$ is zero if and only if $A$ is a subset of $F$.

A set of $n$ lights, numbered $1$ to $n$, are initially off. At every moment, it is possible to perform one of the following operations:
$\bullet$ change the state of lamp $1$,
$\bullet$ change the state of lamp $2$, as long as lamp $1$ is on,
$\bullet$ change the state of lamp $k > 2$, as long as lamp $k - 1$ is on and all lamps $1, . . . , k - 2$ are off.
It shows that it is possible, after a certain number of operations, to have only the lamp left on.

Let $M$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ such that the following conditions are satisfied:
a) For any $x \in M, n \in \mathbb{Z}$, one has that $x+n \in \mathbb{M}$.
b) For any $x \in M$, one has that $-x \in M$.
c) Both $M$ and $\mathbb{R}$ \ $M$ contain an interval of length larger than $0$.
For any real $x$, let $M(x) = \{ n \in \mathbb{Z}^{+} | nx \in M \}$. Show that if $\alpha,\beta$ are reals such that $M(\alpha) = M(\beta)$, then we must have one of $\alpha + \beta$ and $\alpha - \beta$ to be rational.
