II Soros Olympiad 1995 - 96 (Russia), 10.9

Trapezoid $ABCD$ with bases $AD$ and $BC$ is inscribed in a circle, $M$ is the intersection of of its diagonals. A straight line passing through $M$ perpendicular to the bases intersects $BC$ at point$ K$, and the circle at point $L$, where $L$ is the one of the two intersection points for which $M$ lies on the segment $KL$. It is known that $MK = a$, $LM = b$. Find the radius of the circle tangent to the segments $AM$, $BM$ and the circle circumscribed around $ABCD$.

Let $C$ denote the set of points $(x, y) \in R^2$ such that $x^2 + y^2 \le1$. A sequence $A_i = (x_i, y_i), |i \ge¸ 0$ of points in $R^2$ is ‘centric’ if it satisfies the following properties: $\bullet$ $A_0 = (x_0, y_0) = (0, 0)$, $A_1 = (x_1, y_1) = (1, 0)$. $\bullet$ For all $n\ge 0$, the circumcenter of triangle $A_nA_{n+1}A_{n+2}$ lies in $C$. Let $K$ be the maximum value of $x^2_{2012} + y^2_{2012}$ over all centric sequences. Find all points $(x, y)$ such that $x^2 + y^2 = K$ and there exists a centric sequence such that $A_{2012} = (x, y)$.

Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer. Initially, $n$ 1's are written on a blackboard. Every minute, David picks two numbers $x$ and $y$ written on the blackboard, erases them, and writes the number $(x+y)^4$ on the blackboard. Show that after $n-1$ minutes, the number written on the blackboard is at least $2^{\frac{4n^2-4}{3}}$. [i]Proposed by Calvin Deng[/i]

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AC > BC,$ let $\omega$ be the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC,$ and let $r$ be its radius. Point $P$ is chosen on $\overline{AC}$ such taht $BC=CP,$ and point $S$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ to $\overline{AB}$. Ray $BP$ mets $\omega$ again at $D$. Point $Q$ is chosen on line $SP$ such that $PQ = r$ and $S,P,Q$ lie on a line in that order.

For any odd prime $p$ and any integer $n,$ let $d_p (n) \in \{ 0,1, \dots, p-1 \}$ denote the remainder when $n$ is divided by $p.$ We say that $(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots)$ is a [i]p-sequence[/i], if $a_0$ is a positive integer coprime to $p,$ and $a_{n+1} =a_n + d_p (a_n)$ for $n \geqslant 0.$ (a) Do there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which there exist $p$-sequences $(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots)$ and $(b_0, b_1, b_2, \dots)$ such that $a_n >b_n$ for infinitely many $n,$ and $b_n > a_n$ for infinitely many $n?$ (b) Do there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which there exist $p$-sequences $(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots)$ and $(b_0, b_1, b_2, \dots)$ such that $a_0 <b_0,$ but $a_n >b_n$ for all $n \geqslant 1?$ [I]United Kingdom[/i]

There exist complex numbers $z_1,z_2,\dots,z_{10}$ which satisfy$$|z_ki^k+ z_{k+1}i^{k+1}| = |z_{k+1}i^k+ z_ki^{k+1}|$$for all integers $1 \leq k \leq 9$, where $i = \sqrt{-1}$.

A student puts $2010$ red balls and $1957$ blue balls into a box. Weiqing draws randomly from the box one ball at a time without replacement. She wins if, at anytime, the total number of blue balls drawn is more than the total number of red balls drawn. Assuming Weiqing keeps drawing balls until she either wins or runs out, ompute the probability that she eventually wins.

STEMS 2022 Math Cat A Qualifier Round, 1

We have $2022$ $1s$ written on a board in a line. We randomly choose a strictly increasing sequence from ${1, 2, . . . , 2022}$ such that the last term is $2022$. If the chosen sequence is $a_1, a_2, ..., a_k$ ($k$ is not fixed), then at the $i^{th}$ step, we choose the first a$_i$ numbers on the line and change the 1s to 0s and 0s to 1s. After $k$ steps are over, we calculate the sum of the numbers on the board, say $S$. The expected value of $S$ is $\frac{a}{b}$ where $a, b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a + b.$

A convex polygon of $n$ sides is considered. All its diagonals are drawn and we suppose that any three of them can only intersect on a vertex and that there is no pair of parallel diagonals. Under these conditions, we wish to compute a) The total number of intersection points of these diagonals, excluding the vertices. b) How many points, of these intersections, lie inside the polygon and how many lie outside.
