Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ have centres $O_1$ and $O_2$, respectively. These two circles intersect at points $X$ and $Y$. $AB$ is common tangent line of these two circles such that $A$ lies on $\omega_1$ and $B$ lies on $\omega_2$. Let tangents to $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ at $X$ intersect $O_1O_2$ at points $K$ and $L$, respectively. Suppose that line $BL$ intersects $\omega_2$ for the second time at $M$ and line $AK$ intersects $\omega_1$ for the second time at $N$. Prove that lines $AM, BN$ and $O_1O_2$ concur.

Lev and Alex are racing on a number line. Alex is much faster, so he goes to sleep until Lev reaches $100$. Lev runs
at $5$ integers per minute and Alex runs at $7$ integers per minute (in the same direction). How many minutes from the START of the race will it take Alex to catch up to Lev (who is still running after Alex wakes up)?

$39$ students participated in a math competition. The exam consisted of $6$ problems and each problem was worth $1$ point for a correct solution and $0$ points for an incorrect solution. For any $3$ students, there is at most $1$ problem that was not solved by any of the three. Let $B$ be the sum of all of the scores of the $39$ students. Find the smallest possible value of $B$.

Let $d$ be a positive real number. The scorpion tries to catch the flea on a $10\times 10$ chessboard. The length of the side of each small square of the chessboard is $1$. In this game, the flea and the scorpion move alternately. The flea is always on one of the $121$ vertexes of the chessboard and, in each turn, can jump from the vertex where it is to one of the adjacent vertexes. The scorpion moves on the boundary line of the chessboard, and, in each turn, it can walk along any path of length less than $d$.
At the beginning, the flea is at the center of the chessboard and the scorpion is at a point that he chooses on the boundary line. The flea is the first one to play. The flea is said to [i]escape[/i] if it reaches a point of the boundary line, which the scorpion can't reach in the next turn. Obviously, for big values of $d$, the scorpion has a strategy to prevent the flea's escape. For what values of $d$ can the flea escape? Justify your answer.

We say that a finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of points in the plane is [i]balanced[/i] if, for any two different points $A$ and $B$ in $\mathcal{S}$, there is a point $C$ in $\mathcal{S}$ such that $AC=BC$. We say that $\mathcal{S}$ is [i]centre-free[/i] if for any three different points $A$, $B$ and $C$ in $\mathcal{S}$, there is no points $P$ in $\mathcal{S}$ such that $PA=PB=PC$.
(a) Show that for all integers $n\ge 3$, there exists a balanced set consisting of $n$ points.
(b) Determine all integers $n\ge 3$ for which there exists a balanced centre-free set consisting of $n$ points.

Consider a triple $(a, b, c)$ of pairwise distinct positive integers satisfying $a + b + c = 2013$. A step consists of replacing the triple $(x, y, z)$ by the triple $(y + z - x,z + x - y,x + y - z)$. Prove that, starting from the given triple $(a, b,c)$, after $10$ steps we obtain a triple containing at least one negative number.
