The inscribed circle of $\Delta ABC$ $(AC<BC)$ is tangent to $AC$ and $BC$ in points $X$ and $Y$ respectively. A line is constructed through the middle point $M$ of $AB$, parallel to $XY$, which intersects $BC$ in $N$. Let $L\in BC$ be such that $NL=AC$ and $L$ is between $C$ and $N$. The lines $ML$ and $AC$ intersect in point $K$. Prove that $BN=CK$.

In a country, mathematicians chose an $\alpha> 2$ and issued coins in denominations of 1 ruble, as well as $\alpha ^k$ rubles for each positive integer k. $\alpha$ was chosen so that the value of each coins, except the smallest, was irrational. Is it possible that any natural number of rubles can be formed with at most 6 of each denomination of coins?

An integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. [quote]For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways: 4 3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1[/quote] The number of partitions of n is given by the partition function $p\left ( n \right )$. So $p\left ( 4 \right ) = 5$ . Determine all the positive integers so that $p\left ( n \right )+p\left ( n+4 \right )=p\left ( n+2 \right )+p\left ( n+3 \right )$.

A uniform circular ring of radius $R$ is fixed in place. A particle is placed on the axis of the ring at a distance much greater than $R$ and allowed to fall towards the ring under the influence of the ring’s gravity. The particle achieves a maximum speed $v$. The ring is replaced with one of the same (linear) mass density but radius $2R$, and the experiment is repeated. What is the new maximum speed of the particle? (a) $\frac{1}{2}v$ (b) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v$ (c) $v$ (d) $\sqrt{2}v$ (e) $2v$
