We say that a triangle $ABC$ is great if the following holds: for any point $D$ on the side $BC$, if $P$ and $Q$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $D$ to the lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, then the reflection of $D$ in the line $PQ$ lies on the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is great if and only if $\angle A = 90^{\circ}$ and $AB = AC$.

Zandrew Hao has $n^2$ dollars, where $n$ is an integer. He is a massive fan of the singer Pachary Zerry, and he wants to buy many copies of his $3$ albums, which cost $\$8$, $\$623$, and $\$835$ (two of them are very rare). Find the sum of the $3$ greatest values of $n$ such that Zandrew can't spend all of his money on albums.

$n$ people sitting at a round table. In the beginning, everyone writes down a positive number $n$ on piece of paper in front of them. From now on, in every minute, they write down the number that they get if they subtract the number of their right-hand neighbour from their own number. They write down the new number and erase the original. Give those number $n$ that there exists an integer $k$ in a way that regardless of the starting numbers, after $k$ minutes, everyone will have a number that is divisible by $n$.

The positive real numbers $a$ and $b$ ($a> b$) are written on the board. At every step, with numbers written on the board, one of the following operations can be performed:
a) choose one of the numbers and write its square or its inverse.
b) choose two numbers written on the board ¸and write their sum or their positive difference.
Show how the product $a \cdot b$ can be obtained with the help of the defined operations.

For a matrix $(p_{ij})$ of the format $m\times n$ with real entries, set
\[a_i =\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^n p_{ij}\text{ for }i = 1,\cdots,m\text{ and }b_j =\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^m p_{ij}\text{ for }j = 1, . . . , n\longrightarrow(1)\]
By integering a real number, we mean replacing the number with the integer closest to it. Prove that integering the numbers $a_i, b_j, p_{ij}$ can be done in such a way that $(1)$ still holds.

A modern artist paints all of his paintings by dividing his $3$ ft by $5$ ft canvas into $21$ random regions. He then colours some of the regions, and leaves some of them white. If the smallest region has area $a = 10$ square inches, and the probability that any given region with area $a_i$ is left white is $\frac{a}{a_i}$, then what is the probability that any given point on the canvas is left white? ($1$ ft $= 12$ in)
