The numbers $1,2,\dots,10$ are written on a board. Every minute, one can select three numbers $a$, $b$, $c$ on the board, erase them, and write $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}$ in their place. This process continues until no more numbers can be erased. What is the largest possible number that can remain on the board at this point? [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

Let $ ABC $ be an acute triangle. Denote by $ D $ the foot of the perpendicular line drawn from the point $ A $ to the side $ BC $, by $M$ the midpoint of $ BC $, and by $ H $ the orthocenter of $ ABC $. Let $ E $ be the point of intersection of the circumcircle $ \Gamma $ of the triangle $ ABC $ and the half line $ MH $, and $ F $ be the point of intersection (other than $E$) of the line $ ED $ and the circle $ \Gamma $. Prove that $ \tfrac{BF}{CF} = \tfrac{AB}{AC} $ must hold. (Here we denote $XY$ the length of the line segment $XY$.)

In this figure the radius of the circle is equal to the altitude of the equilateral triangle $ABC$. The circle is made to roll along the side $AB$, remaining tangent to it at a variable point $T$ and intersecting lines $AC$ and $BC$ in variable points $M$ and $N$, respectively.

Let $a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_9$ and $b_1 , b_2, \ldots,b_9$ be positive integers such that $a_9<b_9$ and $a_k \neq b_k, 1 \leq k \leq 8.$ In a cash dispenser/automated teller machine/ATM there are $n\geq a_9$ levs (Bulgarian national currency) and for each $1 \leq i \leq 9$ we can take $a_i$ levs from the ATM (if in the bank there are at least $a_i$ levs). Immediately after that action the bank puts $b_i$ levs in the ATM or we take $a_0$ levs. If we take $a_0$ levs from the ATM the bank doesn’t put any money in the ATM. Find all possible positive integer values of $n$ such that after finite number of takings money from the ATM there will be no money in it.

Consider a rectangle with sides $2a$ and $2b$, where $a > b$. There should be four congruent right triangles (one triangle at each vertex of this rectangle , whose legs are on the sides of the rectangle lie) must be cut off so that the remaining figure forms an octagon with sides of equal length. The side of the octagon is to be expressed in terms of a and $b$ and constructed from $a$ and $b$. Besides that it must be stated under which conditions the problem can be solved.
