KoMaL A Problems 2019/2020, A. 779

Two circles are given in the plane, $\Omega$ and inside it $\omega$. The center of $\omega$ is $I$. $P$ is a point moving on $\Omega$. The second intersection of the tangents from $P$ to $\omega$ and circle $\Omega$ are $Q$ and $R.$ The second intersection of circle $IQR$ and lines $PI$, $PQ$ and $PR$ are $J$, $S$ and $T,$ respectively. The reflection of point $J$ across line $ST$ is $K.$ Prove that lines $PK$ are concurrent.

Let $ A,B$ denote two distinct fixed points in space. Let $ X, P$ denote variable points (in space), while $ K,N, n$ denote positive integers. Call $ (X,K,N,P)$ admissible if \[ (N \minus{} K) \cdot PA \plus{} K \cdot PB \geq N \cdot PX.\] Call $ (X,K,N)$ admissible if $ (X,K,N,P)$ is admissible for all choices of $ P.$ Call $ (X,N)$ admissible if $ (X,K,N)$ is admissible for some choice of $ K$ in the interval $ 0 < K < N.$ Finally, call $ X$ admissible if $ (X,N)$ is admissible for some choice of $ N, (N > 1).$ Determine: [b](a)[/b] the set of admissible $ X;$ [b](b)[/b] the set of $ X$ for which $ (X, 1989)$ is admissible but not $ (X, n), n < 1989.$

1984 Tournament Of Towns, (064) O5

(a) On each square of a squared sheet of paper of size $20 \times 20$ there is a soldier. Vanya chooses a number $d$ and Petya moves the soldiers to new squares in such a way that each soldier is moved through a distance of at least $d$ (the distance being measured between the centres of the initial and the new squares) and each square is occupied by exactly one soldier. For which $d$ is this possible? (Give the maximum possible $d$, prove that it is possible to move the soldiers through distances not less than $d$ and prove that there is no greater $d$ for which this procedure may be carried out.) (b) Answer the same question as (a), but with a sheet of size $21 \times 21$. (SS Krotov, Moscow)

Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be two concentric circles with $C_1$ inside $C_2$. Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two points on $C_1$ that are not diametrically opposite. Extend the segment $P_1P_2$ past $P_2$ until it meets the circle $C_2$ in $Q_2$. The tangent to $C_2$ at $Q_2$ and the tangent to $C_1$ at $P_1$ meet in a point $X$. Draw from X the second tangent to $C_2$ which meets $C_2$ at the point $Q_1$. Show that $P_1X$ bisects angle $Q_1P_1Q_2$.

Determine the number of ten-digit positive integers with the following properties: $\bullet$ Each of the digits $0, 1, 2, . . . , 8$ and $9$ is contained exactly once. $\bullet$ Each digit, except $9$, has a neighbouring digit that is larger than it. (Note. For example, in the number $1230$, the digits $1$ and $3$ are the neighbouring digits of $2$ while $2$ and $0$ are the neighbouring digits of $3$. The digits $1$ and $0$ have only one neighbouring digit.) [i](Karl Czakler)[/i]

Let $r > n$ be positive integers. A "good word" is an $n$-tuple $\langle a_1,\dots, a_n \rangle$ of distinct positive integers between 1 and $r$. A "play" consist of changing a integer $a_i$ of a good word, in such a way that the resulting word is still a good word. The distance between two good words $A= \langle a_1,\dots, a_n \rangle$ and $B = \langle b_1,\dots, b_n \rangle$ is the minimun number of plays needed to obtain B from A. Find the maximun posible distance between two good words.

1997 Turkey Team Selection Test, 3

In a football league, whenever a player is transferred from a team $X$ with $x$ players to a team $Y$ with $y$ players, the federation is paid $y-x$ billions liras by $Y$ if $y \geq x$, while the federation pays $x-y$ billions liras to $X$ if $x > y$. A player is allowed to change as many teams as he wishes during a season. Suppose that a season started with $18$ teams of $20$ players each. At the end of the season, $12$ of the teams turn out to have again $20$ players, while the remaining $6$ teams end up with $16,16, 21, 22, 22, 23$ players, respectively. What is the maximal amount the federation may have won during the season?
