Let $\Gamma$ and $\Gamma'$ be two circles with centres $O$ and $O'$, such that $O$ belongs to $\Gamma'$. Let $M$ be a point on $\Gamma'$, outside of $\Gamma$. The tangents to $\Gamma$ that go through $M$ touch $\Gamma$ in two points $A$ and $B$, and cross $\Gamma'$ again in two points $C$ and $D$. Finally, let $E$ be the crossing point of the lines $AB$ and $CD$. Prove that the circumcircles of the triangles $CEO'$ and $DEO'$ are tangent to $\Gamma'$.

A light pulse starts at a corner of a reflective square. It bounces around inside the square, reflecting off of the square’s perimeter $n$ times before ending in a different corner. The path of the light pulse, when traced, divides the square into exactly $2021$ regions. Compute the smallest possible value of $n$.

A game consists in $9$ coins (blacks or whites) arrenged in the following position (see picture 1). If you choose $1$ coin on the border of the square, this coin and it's neighbours change their color. If you choose the coin at the centre, it doesn't change it's color, but the other $8$ coins do. Here is an example of $9$ white coins, and the changes of their colors, choosing the coin said: (see picture 2).
Is it possible, starting with $9$ white coins, to have $9$ black coins?.

A quadrilateral \( ABCD \) with no parallel sides is inscribed in a circle \( \Omega \). Circles \( \omega_a, \omega_b, \omega_c, \omega_d \) are inscribed in triangles \( DAB, ABC, BCD, CDA \), respectively. Common external tangents are drawn between \( \omega_a \) and \( \omega_b \), \( \omega_b \) and \( \omega_c \), \( \omega_c \) and \( \omega_d \), and \( \omega_d \) and \( \omega_a \), not containing any sides of quadrilateral \( ABCD \).

There are $ 7$ boxes arranged in a row and numbered $1$ through $7$. You have a stack of $2015$ cards, which you place one by one in the boxes. The first card is placed in box #$1$, the second in box #$2$, and so forth up to the seventh card which is placed in box #$7$. You then start working back in the other direction, placing the eighth card in box #$6$, the ninth in box #$5$, up to the thirteenth card being placed in box #$1$. The fourteenth card is then placed in box #$2$, and this continues until every card is distributed. What box will the last card be placed in?

There are $n$ people standing on a circular track. We want to perform a number of [i]moves[/i] so that we end up with a situation where the distance between every two neighbours is the same. The [i]move[/i] that is allowed consists in selecting two people and asking one of them to walk a distance $d$ on the circular track clockwise, and asking the other to walk the same distance on the track anticlockwise. The two people selected and the quantity $d$ can vary from move to move.
Prove that it is possible to reach the desired situation (where the distance between every two neighbours is the same) after at most $n-1$ moves.
