Point $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$ of a triangle $ABC$, in which $AB=AC$. Point $D$ is the orthogonal projection of $M$ on $AB$. Circle $\omega$ is inscribed in triangle $ACD$ and tangent to segments $AD$ and $AC$ at $K$ and $L$ respectively. Lines tangent to $\omega$ which pass through $M$ cross line $KL$ at $X$ and $Y$, where points $X$, $K$, $L$ and $Y$ lie on $KL$ in this specific order. Prove that points $M$, $D$, $X$ and $Y$ are concyclic.

Nancy shuffles a deck of $52$ cards and spreads the cards out in a circle face up, leaving one spot empty. Andy, who is in another room and does not see the cards, names a card. If this card is adjacent to the empty spot, Nancy moves the card to the empty spot, without telling Andy; otherwise nothing happens. Then Andy names another card and so on, as many times as he likes, until he says "stop."
[list][b](a)[/b] Can Andy guarantee that after he says "stop," no card is in its initial spot?
[b](b)[/b] Can Andy guarantee that after he says "stop," the Queen of Spades is not adjacent to
the empty spot?[/list]

An occasionally unreliable professor has devoted his last book to a certain binary operation $*$. When this operation is applied to any two integers, the result is again an integer. The operation is known to satisfy the following axioms:
$\text{a})\ x*(x*y)=y$ for all $x,y\in\mathbb{Z}$;
$\text{b})\ (x*y)*y=x$ for all $x,y\in\mathbb{Z}$.
The professor claims in his book that
$1.$ The operation $*$ is commutative: $x*y=y*x$ for all $x,y\in\mathbb{Z}$.
$2.$ The operation $*$ is associative: $(x*y)*z=x*(y*z)$ for all $x,y,z\in\mathbb{Z}$.
Which of these claims follow from the stated axioms?

Consider a rectangular array of single digits $d_{i,j}$ with 10 rows and 7 columns, such that $d_{i+1,j}-d_{i,j}$ is always 1 or -9 for all $1 \leq i \leq 9$ and all $1 \leq j \leq 7$, as in the example below.
