In the acute-angle triangle $ABC$ we have $\angle ACB = 45^\circ$. The points $A_1$ and $B_1$ are the feet of the altitudes from $A$ and $B$, and $H$ is the orthocenter of the triangle. We consider the points $D$ and $E$ on the segments $AA_1$ and $BC$ such that $A_1D = A_1E = A_1B_1$. Prove that
a) $A_1B_1 = \sqrt{ \frac{A_1B^2+A_1C^2}{2} }$;
b) $CH=DE$.

A black bishop and a white king are placed randomly on a $2000 \times 2000$ chessboard (in distinct squares). Let $p$ be the probability that the bishop attacks the king (that is, the bishop and king lie on some common diagonal of the board). Then $p$ can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m$.

The graph of the degree $2021$ polynomial $P(x)$, which has real coefficients and leading coefficient $1$, meets the $x$-axis at the points $(1,0),\, (2,0),\,(3,0),\dots,\, (2020,0)$ and nowhere else. The mean of all possible values of $P(2021)$ can be written in the form $a!/b$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers and $a$ is as small as possible. Compute $a+b$.

As shown in the figure below a regular dodecahedron (the polyhedron consisting of 12 congruent regular pentagonal faces) floats in space with two horizontal faces. Note that there is a ring of five slanted faces adjacent to the top face, and a ring of five slanted faces adjacent to the bottom face. How many ways are there to move from the top face to the bottom face via a sequence of adjacent faces so that each face is visited at most once and moves are not permitted from the bottom ring to the top ring?

Consider a triangle $ABC$ in which $AB<BC<CA$. The excircles touch the sides $BC, CA,$ and $AB$ at points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_1$ respectively. A circle is drawn through the points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_1$ which intersects the sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$ for the second time at the points $A_2, B_2$ and $C_2$ respectively. On which side of the triangle can lie the largest of the segments $A_1A_2, B_1B_2$ and $C_1C_2$?
