2017 QEDMO 15th, 12

Jorn wants to cheat at the role play: he intends to cheat the sides to re-label its two octahedra, so that each of the numbers from $1$ to $16$ has the same probability as the sum of the dice occurs. So that the game master does not notice this so easily, he only wants to use numbers from $0$ to $8$ , if necessary several times or not at all. Is this possible?

A triangle $ABC$ and spheres are given in space $S_1$ and $S_2$, each of which passes through points $A, B$ and $C$. For points $M$ spheres $S_1$ not lying in the plane of triangle $ABC$ are drawn lines $MA, MB$ and $MC$, intersecting the sphere $S_2$ for the second time at points $A_1,B_1$ and $C_1$, respectively. Prove that the planes passing through points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_1$, touch a fixed sphere or pass through a fixed point.

Let $ABCD$ be a rhombus with the condition $\angle ABC > 90^o$. The circle $\Gamma_B$ with center at $B$ goes through $C$, and the circle $\Gamma_C$ with center at $C$ goes through $B$. Denote by $E$ one of the intersection points of $\Gamma_B$ and $\Gamma_C$. The line $ED$ intersects intersects $\Gamma_B$ again at $F$. Find the value of $\angle AFB$.

Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are externally tangent to each other at $P$. A random line $\ell$ cuts $\omega_1$ at $A$ and $C$ and $\omega_2$ at $B$ and $D$ (points $A,C,B,D$ are in this order on $\ell$). Line $AP$ meets $\omega_2$ again at $E$ and line $BP$ meets $\omega_1$ again at $F$. Prove that the radical axis of circles $(PCD)$ and $(PEF)$ is parallel to $\ell$. \\ \\ [i](Vlad Robu)[/i]

Three clever monkeys divide a pile of bananas. The first monkey takes some bananas from the pile, keeps three-fourths of them, and divides the rest equally between the other two. The second monkey takes some bananas from the pile, keeps one-fourth of them, and divides the rest equally between the other two. The third monkey takes the remaining bananas from the pile, keeps one-twelfth of them, and divides the rest equally between the other two. Given that each monkey receives a whole number of bananas whenever the bananas are divided, and the numbers of bananas the first, second, and third monkeys have at the end of the process are in the ratio $3: 2: 1$, what is the least possible total for the number of bananas?

A square with side $2008$ is broken into regions that are all squares with side $1$. In every region, either $0$ or $1$ is written, and the number of $1$'s and $0$'s is the same. The border between two of the regions is removed, and the numbers in each of them are also removed, while in the new region, their arithmetic mean is recorded. After several of those operations, there is only one square left, which is the big square itself. Prove that it is possible to perform these operations in such a way, that the final number in the big square is less than $\frac{1}{2^{10^6}}$.
