There are $100$ people in a room. Some are [i]wise[/i] and some are [i]optimists[/i]. $\quad \bullet~$ A [i]wise[/i] person can look at someone and know if they are wise or if they are an optimist. $\quad \bullet~$ An [i]optimist[/i] thinks everyone is wise (including themselves). Everyone in the room writes down what they think is the number of wise people in the room. What is the smallest possible value for the average? $$ \mathrm a. ~ 10\qquad \mathrm b.~25\qquad \mathrm c. ~50 \qquad \mathrm d. ~75 \qquad \mathrm e. ~100 $$

The quadrilateral $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ is cyclic, and its sides are $a_1 = A_1A_2, a_2 = A_2A_3, a_3 = A_3A_4$ and $a_4 = A_4A_1.$ The respective circles with centres $I_i$ and radii $r_i$ are tangent externally to each side $a_i$ and to the sides $a_{i+1}$ and $a_{i-1}$ extended. ($a_0 = a_4$). Show that \[ \prod^4_{i=1} \frac{a_i}{r_i} = 4 \cdot (\csc (A_1) + \csc (A_2) )^2. \]

Given a set $X=\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$ of natural numbers in which for all $1< i \leq n$ we have $1\leq x_i-x_{i-1}\leq 2$, call a real number $a$ [b]good[/b] if there exists $1\leq j \leq n$ such that $2|x_j-a|\leq 1$. Also a subset of $X$ is called [b]compact[/b] if the average of its elements is a good number. Prove that at least $2^{n-3}$ subsets of $X$ are compact. [i]Proposed by Mahyar Sefidgaran[/i]
