Triangle $ABC$ is acute. Equilateral triangles $ABC',AB'C,A'BC$ are constructed externally to $ABC$. Let $BB'$ and $CC'$ intersect at $F$. Let $CC'$ intersect $AB$ at $C_1$ and $AA'$ intersect $BC$ at $A_1$, and let $A_1C_1$ intersect $AC$ at $D$. If $A'F=23$, $CF=13$, and $DF=24$, find $BD$. [i]2017 CCA Math Bonanza Team Round #10[/i]

Let $a, b$ and $c$ be real numbers such that $$\lceil a \rceil + \lceil b \rceil + \lceil c \rceil + \lfloor a + b \rfloor + \lfloor b + c \rfloor + \lfloor c + a \rfloor = 2020$$ Prove that $$\lfloor a \rfloor + \lfloor b \rfloor + \lfloor c \rfloor + \lceil a + b + c \rceil \ge 1346$$ Note: $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$, and $\lceil x \rceil$ is the smallest integer greater than or equal to $x$. That is, $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the unique integer satisfying $\lfloor x \rfloor \le x < \lfloor x \rfloor + 1$, and $\lceil x \rceil$ is the unique integer satisfying $\lceil x \rceil - 1 < x \le \lceil x \rceil$.

In a soccer league with $2020$ teams every two team have played exactly once and no game have lead to a draw. The participating teams are ordered first by their points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss) then by their goal difference (goals scored minus goals against) in a normal soccer table. Is it possible for the goal difference in such table to be strictly increasing from the top to the bottom? [i]Proposed by Abolfazl Asadi[/i]
