In a triangle $ABC$, points $D$ and $E$ are taken on rays $CB$ and $CA$ respectively so that $CD=CE = \frac{AC+BC}{2}$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of the triangle, and $P$ be the midpoint of the arc $AB$ of the circumcircle of $ABC$ not containing $C$. Prove that the line $DE$ bisects the segment $HP$.

A chord of a circle is perpendicular to a radius at the midpoint of the radius. The ratio of the area of the larger of the two regions into which the chord divides the circle to the smaller can be expressed in the form $\frac{a\pi+b\sqrt{c}}{d\pi-e\sqrt{f}}$, where $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$, $e$, and $f$ are positive integers, $a$ and $e$ are relatively prime, and neither $c$ nor $f$ is divisible by the square of any prime. Find the remainder when the product $abcdef$ is divided by 1000.

Let $B = (-1, 0)$ and $C = (1, 0)$ be fixed points on the coordinate plane. A nonempty, bounded subset $S$ of the plane is said to be [i]nice[/i] if $\text{(i)}$ there is a point $T$ in $S$ such that for every point $Q$ in $S$, the segment $TQ$ lies entirely in $S$; and $\text{(ii)}$ for any triangle $P_1P_2P_3$, there exists a unique point $A$ in $S$ and a permutation $\sigma$ of the indices $\{1, 2, 3\}$ for which triangles $ABC$ and $P_{\sigma(1)}P_{\sigma(2)}P_{\sigma(3)}$ are similar. Prove that there exist two distinct nice subsets $S$ and $S'$ of the set $\{(x, y) : x \geq 0, y \geq 0\}$ such that if $A \in S$ and $A' \in S'$ are the unique choices of points in $\text{(ii)}$, then the product $BA \cdot BA'$ is a constant independent of the triangle $P_1P_2P_3$.

A calculator has two operations $A$ and $B$ and initially shows the number $1$. Operation $A$ turns $x$ into $x+1$ and operation B turns $x$ into $\dfrac{x}{x+1}$. a) Show all the ways we can get the number $\dfrac{20}{23}$. b) For every rational $r \neq 1$, determine if it is possible to get $r$ using only operations $A$ and $B$.

A positive integer is written on a blackboard. Carmela can perform the following operation as many times as she wants: replace the current integer $x$ with another positive integer $y$, as long as $|x^2 - y^2|$ is a perfect square. For example, if the number on the blackboard is $17$, Carmela can replace it with $15$, because $|17^2 - 15^2| = 8^2$, then replace it with $9$, because $|15^2 - 9^2| = 12^2$. If the number on the blackboard is initially $3$, determine all integers that Carmela can write on the blackboard after finitely many operations.

The integer $ 9$ can be written as a sum of two consecutive integers: $ 9 \equal{} 4\plus{}5.$ Moreover, it can be written as a sum of (more than one) consecutive positive integers in exactly two ways: $ 9 \equal{} 4\plus{}5 \equal{} 2\plus{}3\plus{}4.$ Is there an integer that can be written as a sum of $ 1990$ consecutive integers and that can be written as a sum of (more than one) consecutive positive integers in exactly $ 1990$ ways?

Maria draws some of its diagonals in such a way that each diagonal intersects at most one of the other diagonals drawn in the interior of the polygon. Determine the maximum number of diagonals that Maria can draw in such a way. Note: Two diagonals can share a vertex of the polygon. Vertices are not part of the interior of the polygon.

Towers grow at points along a line. All towers start with height 0 and grow at the rate of one meter per second. As soon as any two adjacent towers are each at least 1 meter tall, a new tower begins to grow at a point along the line exactly half way between those two adjacent towers. Before time 0 there are no towers, but at time 0 the first two towers begin to grow at two points along the line. Find the total of all the heights of all towers at time 10 seconds.
