Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with $AC=BC$, let $M$ be the midpoint of its side $AC$, and let $Z$ be the line through $C$ perpendicular to $AB$. The circle through the points $B$, $C$, and $M$ intersects the line $Z$ at the points $C$ and $Q$. Find the radius of the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$ in terms of $m = CQ$.

On the inner surface of a fixed circle, rolls a wheel half the radius of the circle, without slipping. We marked a point red on the wheel. Prove that while the wheel makes a turn, the point moves on a line.

Let $ABC$ be a right triangle with a right angle in $C$ and a circumcenter $U$. On the sides $AC$ and $BC$, the points $D$ and $E$ lie in such a way that $\angle EUD = 90 ^o$. Let $F$ and $G$ be the projection of $D$ and $E$ on $AB$, respectively. Prove that $FG$ is half as long as $AB$. (Walther Janous)

Alice and Bob are independently trying to figure out a secret password to Cathy’s bitcoin wallet. Both of them have already figured out that: $\bullet$ it is a $4$-digit number whose first digit is $5$. $\bullet$ it is a multiple of $9$; $\bullet$ The larger number is more likely to be a password than a smaller number. Moreover, Alice figured out the second and the third digits of the password and Bob figured out the third and the fourth digits. They told this information to each other but not actual digits. After that the conversation followed: Alice: ”I have no idea what the number is.” Bob: ”I have no idea too.” After that both of them knew which number they should try first. Identify this number

The distance between towns $A$ and $B$ is $999$ km. At every kilometer of the road that connects $A$ and $B$ a sign shows the distances to $A$ and $B$ as follows: $\fbox{0-999}$ , $\fbox{1-998}$ ,$\fbox{2-997}$ , $ . . . $ , $\fbox{998-1}$ , $\fbox{999-0}$ How many signs are there, with both distances written with the help of only two distinct digits?

The parabola with equation $y = x^2 - 4$ is rotated $60^\circ$ counterclockwise around the origin. The unique point in the fourth quadrant where the original parabola and its image intersect has $y$-coordinate $\frac{a - \sqrt{b}}{c}$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers, and $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime. Find $a + b + c$.

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.

Let $M$ be a non-empty set of positive integers and let $S_M$ be the sum of all the elements of $M$. We define the [i]tlacoyo[/i] of $M$ as the sum of the digits of $S_M$. For example, if $M=\{2,7,34\}$, then $S_M=2+7+34=43$ and the tlacoyo of the set $M$ is $4+3=7$. \\ Prove that for every positive integer $n$, there exists a set $M$ of $n$ distinct positive integers, such that all its non-empty subsets have the same tlacoyo.
