Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\omega$. Let $l_B$ and $l_C$ be two lines through the points $B$ and $C$, respectively, such that $l_B \parallel l_C$. The second intersections of $l_B$ and $l_C$ with $\omega$ are $D$ and $E$, respectively. Assume that $D$ and $E$ are on the same side of $BC$ as $A$. Let $DA$ intersect $l_C$ at $F$ and let $EA$ intersect $l_B$ at $G$. If $O$, $O_1$ and $O_2$ are circumcenters of the triangles $ABC$, $ADG$ and $AEF$, respectively, and $P$ is the circumcenter of the triangle $OO_1O_2$, prove that $l_B \parallel OP \parallel l_C$.

Let \(\Omega\) be a circle with a chord \(AB\) which is not a diameter. \(\Gamma_{1}\) be a circle on one side of \(AB\) such that it is tangent to \(AB\) at \(C\) and internally tangent to \(\Omega\) at \(D\). Likewise, let \(\Gamma_{2}\) be a circle on the other side of \(AB\) such that it is tangent to \(AB\) at \(E\) and internally tangent to \(\Omega\) at \(F\). Suppose the line \(DC\) intersects \(\Omega\) at \(X \neq D\) and the line \(FE\) intersects \(\Omega\) at \(Y \neq F\). Prove that \(XY\) is a diameter of \(\Omega\) .

Let $ a_1, a_2,\ldots ,a_8$ be $8$ distinct points on the circumference of a circle such that no three chords, each joining a pair of the points, are concurrent. Every $4$ of the $8$ points form a quadrilateral which is called a [i]quad[/i]. If two chords, each joining a pair of the $8$ points, intersect, the point of intersection is called a [i]bullet[/i]. Suppose some of the bullets are coloured red. For each pair $(i j)$, with $ 1 \le i < j \le 8$, let $r(i,j)$ be the number of quads, each containing $ a_i, a_j$ as vertices, whose diagonals intersect at a red bullet. Determine the smallest positive integer $n$ such that it is possible to colour $n$ of the bullets red so that $r(i,j)$ is a constant for all pairs $(i,j)$.

A survey of participants was conducted at the Olympiad. $50\%$ of the participants liked the first round, $60\%$ of the participants liked the second round, $70\%$ of the participants liked the opening of the Olympiad. It is known that each participant liked either one option or all three. Determine the percentage of participants who rated all three events positively.

We say that a set $S$ of integers is [i]rootiful[/i] if, for any positive integer $n$ and any $a_0, a_1, \cdots, a_n \in S$, all integer roots of the polynomial $a_0+a_1x+\cdots+a_nx^n$ are also in $S$.

22. Let the function $f : \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}$ take only integer inputs and have integer outputs. For any integers $x$ and $y$, f satisfies $$f(x) + f(y) = f(x + 1) + f(y - 1)$$ If $f(2016) = 6102$ and $f(6102) = 2016$, what is $f(1)$? 23. Let $d$ be a randomly chosen divisor of $2016$. Find the expected value of $$\frac{d^2}{d^2 + 2016}$$ 24. Consider an infinite grid of equilateral triangles. Each edge (that is, each side of a small triangle) is colored one of $N$ colors. The coloring is done in such a way that any path between any two nonadjecent vertices consists of edges with at least two different colors. What is the smallest possible value of $N$?

Two fair dice, each with at least 6 faces, are rolled. On each face of each die is printed a distinct integer from 1 to the number of faces on that die, inclusive. The probability of rolling a sum of 7 is $\frac{3}{4}$ of the probability of rolling a sum of 10 and the probability of rolling a sum of 12 is $\frac{1}{12}$. What is the least possible number of faces on the two dice combined? $\textbf{(A)}\ 16 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 17 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 18 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 19 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 20$

A triangle has sides of length $48$, $55$, and $73$. A square is inscribed in the triangle such that one side of the square lies on the longest side of the triangle, and the two vertices not on that side of the square touch the other two sides of the triangle. If $c$ and $d$ are relatively prime positive integers such that $c/d$ is the length of a side of the square, find the value of $c+d$.
