Let $a,b,c$ be real numbers $a + b +c = 0$. Show that [list=a] [*] $\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2} \cdot \frac{a^3 + b^3 + c^3}{3} = \frac{a^5 + b^5 + c^5}{5}$. [*] $\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2} \cdot \frac{a^5 + b^5 + c^5}{5} = \frac{a^7 + b^7 + c^7}{7}$. [/list] [I]Folklore[/I]

We look at an octahedron, a regular octahedron, having painted one of the side surfaces red and the other seven surfaces blue. We throw the octahedron like a die. The surface that comes up is painted: if it is red it is painted blue and if it is blue it is painted red. Then we throw the octahedron again and paint it again according to the above rule. In total we throw the octahedron $10$ times. How many different octahedra can we get after finishing the $10$th time? [i]Two octahedra are different if they cannot be converted into each other by rotation.[/i]

An (ordered) triple $(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ of positive [i]irrational[/i] numbers with $x_1+x_2+x_3=1$ is called [b]balanced[/b] if each $x_i< 1/2.$ If a triple is not balanced, say if $x_j>1/2$, one performs the following [b] balancing act[/b] $$B(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(x'_1,x'_2,x'_3),$$ where $x'_i=2x_i$ if $i\neq j$ and $x'_j=2x_j-1.$ If the new triple is not balanced, one performs the balancing act on it. Does the continuation of this process always lead to a balanced triple after a finite number of performances of the balancing act?

The Judgment of the Council of Sages proceeds as follows: the king arranges the sages in a line and places either a white hat, black hat or a red hat on each sage's head. Each sage can see the color of the hats of the sages in front of him, but not of his own hat or of the hats of the sages behind him. Then one by one (in an order of their choosing), each sage guesses a color. Afterward, the king executes those sages who did not correctly guess the color of their own hat. The day before, the Council meets and decides to minimize the number of executions. What is the smallest number of sages guaranteed to survive in this case? [i]K. Knop[/i] P.S. Of course, the sages hear the previous guesses. See also [url]http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=530552[/url]

Triangle $ABC$ with $AB=4$, $BC=5$, $CA=6$ has circumcircle $\Omega$ and incircle $\omega$. Let $\Gamma$ be the circle tangent to $\Omega$ and the sides $AB$, $BC$, and let $X=\Gamma \cap \Omega$. Let $Y$, $Z$ be distinct points on $\Omega$ such that $XY$, $YZ$ are tangent to $\omega$. Find $YZ^2$. [i]The following fact may be useful: if $\triangle{ABC}$ has incircle $w$ with incenter $I$ and radius $r$, and $\triangle{DEF}$ is the intouch triangle (i.e. $D$, $E$, $F$ are intersections of incircle with $BC$, $CA$, $AB$, respectively) and $H$ is the orthocenter of $\triangle{DEF}$, then the inversion of $X$ about $\omega$ (i.e. the point $X'$ on ray $IX$ such that $IX' \cdot IX=r^2$) is the midpoint of $DH$.[/i]

The driver starts driving every morning at the same time from office to the house of his boss, picks up the boss and then drives back to the office. He always drives with the same speed on the same road. Because the time of arrival of the car to the boss's house is predetermined, the boss always leaves the house on time, and thus the driver does not spend any time waiting for his boss. Once the driver started driving from the office $42$ minutes later, than usual. The boss saw that the car didn't come and started walking in the direction of office. When he met the car on the road, the driver picked him up and started driving back to the office. The speed of the boss is 20 times lower than the speed of the car, and the time usually spent on the route from office to the house is at least an hour. Determine did the car come earlier or later to the office and by how many minutes.
