In a triangle $ABC$, points $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are chosen in the prolongations beyond $A$ of segments $AB$ and $AC$, such that $AA_{1}=AA_{2}=BC$. Define analogously points $B_{1}$, $B_{2}$, $C_{1}$, $C_{2}$. If $[ABC]$ denotes the area of triangle $ABC$, show that $[A_{1}A_{2}B_{1}B_{2}C_{1}C_{2}] \geq 13 [ABC]$.

Peter has a deck of $1001$ cards, and with a blue pen he has written the numbers $1,2,\ldots,1001$ on the cards (one number on each card). He replaced cards in a circle so that blue numbers were on the bottom side of the card. Then, for each card $C$, he took $500$ consecutive cards following $C$ (clockwise order), and denoted by $f(C)$ the number of blue numbers written on those $500$ cards that are greater than the blue number written on $C$ itself. After all, he wrote this $f(C)$ number on the top side of the card $C$ with a red pen. Prove that Peter's friend Basil, who sees all the red numbers on these cards, can determine the blue number on each card.

Professor Oak is feeding his $100$ Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a bowl whose capacity is a positive real number of kilograms. These capacities are known to Professor Oak. The total capacity of all the bowls is $100$ kilograms. Professor Oak distributes $100$ kilograms of food in such a way that each Pokémon receives a non-negative integer number of kilograms of food (which may be larger than the capacity of the bowl). The [i]dissatisfaction level[/i] of a Pokémon who received $N$ kilograms of food and whose bowl has a capacity of $C$ kilograms is equal to $\lvert N-C\rvert$.
Find the smallest real number $D$ such that, regardless of the capacities of the bowls, Professor Oak can distribute food in a way that the sum of the dissatisfaction levels over all the $100$ Pokémon is at most $D$.

Alice and Bob take turns alternatively on a $2020\times2020$ board with Alice starting the game. In every move each person colours a cell that have not been coloured yet and will be rewarded with as many points as the coloured cells in the same row and column. When the table is coloured completely, the points determine the winner. Who has the wining strategy and what is the maximum difference he/she can grantees?

A magician should determine the area of a hidden convex $ 2008$-gon $ A_{1}A_{2}\cdots A_{2008}$. In each step he chooses two points on the perimeter, whereas the chosen points can be vertices or points dividing selected sides in selected ratios. Then his helper divides the polygon into two parts by the line through these two points and announces the area of the smaller of the two parts. Show that the magician can find the area of the polygon in $ 2006$ steps.

$m$ and $n$ are two nonnegative integers. In the Philosopher's Chess, The chessboard is an infinite grid of identical regular hexagons and a new piece named the Donkey moves on it as follows:
Starting from one of the hexagons, the Donkey moves $m$ cells in one of the $6$ directions, then it turns $60$ degrees clockwise and after that moves $n$ cells in this new direction until it reaches it's final cell.
At most how many cells are in the Philosopher's chessboard such that one cannot go from anyone of them to the other with a finite number of movements of the Donkey?
