1994 Argentina National Olympiad, 1

$30$ segments of lengths$$1,\quad \sqrt{3},\quad \sqrt{5},\quad \sqrt{7},\quad \sqrt{9},\quad \ldots ,\quad \sqrt{59} $$ have been drawn on a blackboard. In each step, two of the segments are deleted and a new segment of length equal to the hypotenuse of the right triangle with legs equal to the two deleted segments is drawn. After $29$ steps only one segment remains. Find the possible values of its length.

Consider a convex quadrilateral \(ABCD\) with \(AC > BD\). In the plane of this quadrilateral, points \(M\) and \(N\) are chosen such that triangles \(ABM\) and \(CDN\) are equilateral, and segments \(MD\) and \(NA\) intersect lines \(AB\) and \(CD\) respectively. Similarly, points \(P\) and \(Q\) are chosen such that triangles \(ADP\) and \(BCQ\) are equilateral, but here segments \(PB\) and \(QA\) do not intersect lines \(AD\) and \(BC\) respectively. Prove that \(MN = AC + BD\) if and only if \(PQ = AC - BD\). [i]Proposed by Zaza Meliqidze, Georgia [/i]

Let $\alpha, \beta$ be two rational numbers strictly between 0 and 1. Alice and Bob play a game. At the start of the game, Alice chooses a positive integer $n$. Knowing that, Bob then chooses a positive integer $T$. They then do the following for $T$ rounds: at the $i$th round, Bob chooses a set $X_i$ of $n$ positive integers that form a complete residue system modulo $n$. Then Alice chooses a subset $Y_i$ of $X_i$ such that the sum of elements in $Y_i$ is at most $\alpha$ times the sum of elements in $X_i$. After the $T$ rounds, Alice wins if it is possible to pick an integer $s$ between 0 and $n-1$ such that there are at least $\beta T$ positive integers among the elements in $Y_1, Y_2, . . . , Y_T$ (counted with multiplicities) that are equal to $s \pmod n$, and Bob wins otherwise. Find all pairs $(\alpha, \beta)$ of rational numbers strictly between 0 and 1 such that Alice has a winning strategy. [i]Proposed by Hans[/i]

For any two convex polygons $P_1$ and $P_2$ with mutually distinct vertices, denote by $f(P_1, P_2)$ the total number of their vertices that lie on a side of the other polygon. For each positive integer $n \ge 4$, determine \[ \max \{ f(P_1, P_2) ~ | ~ P_1 ~ \text{and} ~ P_2 ~ \text{are convex} ~ n \text{-gons} \}. \] (We say that a polygon is convex if all its internal angles are strictly less than $180^\circ$.)

A quadrilateral $ABCD$ without parallel sides is inscribed in a circle $\omega$. We draw a line $\ell_a \parallel BC$ through the point $A$, a line $\ell_b \parallel CD$ through the point $B$, a line $\ell_c \parallel DA$ through the point $C$, and a line $\ell_d \parallel AB$ through the point $D$. Suppose that the quadrilateral whose successive sides lie on these four straight lines is inscribed in a circle $\gamma$ and that $\omega$ and $\gamma$ intersect in points $E$ and $F$. Show that the lines $AC, BD$ and $EF$ intersect in one point. [i]Proposed by A. Kuznetsov[/i]

Let $ A$ and $ B$ be points on one of the semicircular arcs determined by $ \overline{MN}$ such that $ A$ is the midpoint of the semicircle and $ MB\equal{}\frac35$. Point $ C$ lies on the other semicircular arc.

Find $ r\plus{}s\plus{}t$.

Albert and Kevin are playing a game. Kevin has a $10\%$ chance of winning any given round in the match. If Kevin wins the first game, he wins the match. If not, he requests that the match be extended to a best of $3$. If he wins the best of $3$, he wins the match. If not, then he requests the match be extended to a best of $5$, and so forth. What is the probability that Kevin eventually wins the match? (A best of $2n+ 1$ match consists of a series of rounds. The first person to reach $n + 1$ winning games wins the match)

The diagram shows twenty congruent circles arranged in three rows and enclosed in a rectangle. The circles are tangent to one another and to the sides of the rectangle as shown in the diagram. The ratio of the longer dimension of the rectangle to the shorter dimension can be written as $\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{p}-q\right),$ where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers.
