Points $K$ and $L$ are inner for $AB$ for an acute $\Delta ABC$, where $K$ is between $A$ and $L$. Let $P,Q$, and $H$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $A$ to $CK$, from $B$ to $CL$, and from $C$ to $AB$, respectively. Point $M$ is the middle point of $AB$. If $PH\cap AC=X$ and $QH\cap BC=Y$, prove that points $H,P,M$, and $Q$ lie on one circle, if and only if the lines $AY,BX$, and $CH$ intersect in one point.

Unit cubes are made into beads by drilling a hole through them along a diagonal. The beads are put on a string in such a way that they can move freely in space under the restriction that the vertices of two neighboring cubes are touching. Let $ A$ be the beginning vertex and $ B$ be the end vertex. Let there be $ p \times q \times r$ cubes on the string $ (p, q, r \geq 1).$ [i](a)[/i] Determine for which values of $ p, q,$ and $ r$ it is possible to build a block with dimensions $ p, q,$ and $ r.$ Give reasons for your answers. [i](b)[/i] The same question as (a) with the extra condition that $ A \equal{} B.$

Find the largest integer $k$ with the following property: Whenever real numbers $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{2024}$ satisfy \[x_1^2=(x_1+x_2)^2=\dots=(x_1+x_2+\dots+x_{2024})^2,\] at least $k$ of them are equal.

Cucumber river in the Flower city has parallel banks with the distance between them $1$ metre. It has some islands with the total perimeter $8$ metres. Mr. Know-All claims that it is possible to cross the river in a boat from the arbitrary point, and the trajectory will not exceed $3$ metres. Is he right?

Tim the Beaver can make three different types of geometrical figures: squares, regular hexagons, and regular octagons. Tim makes a random sequence $F_0$, $F_1$, $F_2$, $F_3$, $...$ of figures as follows: $\bullet$ $F_0$ is a square. $\bullet$ For every positive integer $i$, $F_i$ is randomly chosen to be one of the $2$ figures distinct from $F_{i-1}$ (each chosen with equal probability $\frac12$ ). $\bullet$ Tim takes $4$ seconds to make squares, $6$ to make hexagons, and $8$ to make octagons. He makes one figure after another, with no breaks in between. Suppose that exactly $17$ seconds after he starts making $F_0$, Tim is making a figure with $n$ sides. What is the expected value of $n$?

One considers for $n > 2$ the polynomial: $$(x^2-x+1)^n - (x^2-x+2)^n+ (1+x)^n+(2-x)^n$$ Show that the degree of this polynomial is $2n - 2$. The polynomial is written in the form $$a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+...+a_{2n-2}x^{2n-2}$$ Prove that $a_2+a_3+...+a_{2n-2}=0$

Assume real numbers $a_i,b_i\,(i=0,1,\cdots,2n)$ satisfy the following conditions: (1) for $i=0,1,\cdots,2n-1$, we have $a_i+a_{i+1}\geq 0$; (2) for $j=0,1,\cdots,n-1$, we have $a_{2j+1}\leq 0$; (2) for any integer $p,q$, $0\leq p\leq q\leq n$, we have $\sum_{k=2p}^{2q}b_k>0$. Prove that $\sum_{i=0}^{2n}(-1)^i a_i b_i\geq 0$, and determine when the equality holds.

Determine all 4-tuples ($a, b,c, d$) of real numbers satisfying the following four equations: $\begin{cases} ab + c + d = 3 \\ bc + d + a = 5 \\ cd + a + b = 2 \\ da + b + c = 6 \end{cases}$

Karina, Leticia and Milena paint glass bottles and sell them as decoration. they had $100$ bottles, and they decorated them in such a way that each bottle was painted by a single person. After the finished, they put all the bottles on a table. In an oversight one of them pushed the table, falling and breaking exactly $\frac18$ of the bottles that Karina painted, $\frac13$ of the bottles that Milena, painted and $\frac16$ of the bottles that Leticia painted. In total, $82$ painted bottles remained unbroken. Knowing that the number of broken bottles that Milena had painted is equal to the average of the amounts of broken bottles painted by Karina and Leticia, how many bottles did each of them paint?

There are 2019 cards in a box. Each card has a number written on one of its sides and a letter on the other side. Amy and Ben play the following game: in the beginning Amy takes all the cards, places them on a line and then she flips as many cards as she wishes. Each time Ben touches a card he has to flip it and its neighboring cards. Ben is allowed to have as many as 2019 touches. Ben wins if all the cards are on the numbers' side, otherwise Amy wins. Determine who has a winning strategy.

Anders is solving a math problem, and he encounters the expression $\sqrt{15!}$. He attempts to simplify this radical as $a\sqrt{b}$ where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers. The sum of all possible values of $ab$ can be expressed in the form $q\cdot 15!$ for some rational number $q$. Find $q$.

For what $k$ is it possible to construct a cube $k\times k\times k$ of the black and white cubes $1\times 1\times 1$ in such a way that every small cube has the same colour, that have exactly two his neighbours. (Two cubes are neighbours, if they have the common face.)

Faith has four different integer length segments. It turned out that any three of them can form a triangle. What is the smallest total length of this set of segments?

Let $A$ and $B$ be two finite disjoint sets of points in the plane such that no three distinct points in $A \cup B$ are collinear. Assume that at least one of the sets $A, B$ contains at least five points. Show that there exists a triangle all of whose vertices are contained in $A$ or in $B$ that does not contain in its interior any point from the other set.
