$\vartriangle ABC$ is right with $\angle C = 90^o$. The internal angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ meet at point $D$, while the external angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ meet at point $E$. Suppose that $AD = 1$ and $BD = 2$. The value of $DE^2$ can be expressed as $x+y \sqrt{z}$ for integers $x$, $y$, and $z$, where $z$ is greater than $1$ and not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $100x + 10y + z$. Note: For a generic triangle $\vartriangle PQR$, if we let $Q'$ be the reflection of $Q$ over $P$, then the external angle bisector of $\angle P$ is the line that contains the internal angle bisector of $\angle Q'PR$.

V Soros Olympiad 1998 - 99 (Russia), 9.9

Of the $9$ people who reached the final stage of the competition, only $4$ should receive a prize. The candidates were renumbered and lined up in a circle. Then a certain number $m$ (possibly greater than $9$) and the direction of reference were determined. People began to be counted, starting from the first. Each one became a winner and was eliminated from the drawing, and counting, starting from the next, continued until four winners were identified. The first three prizes were awarded to three people who had numbers $2$, $7$ and $5$ in the original lineup (they were eliminated in that order). What number did the fourth winner of the competition have in the initial lineup?

An $m \times n$ grid of squares (with $m$ rows and $n$ columns) has some of its squares colored blue. The grid is called [i]fish-friendly[/i] if a fish can swim from the left edge of the grid to the right edge of the grid only moving through blue squares. In other words, there is a sequence of blue squares, each horizontally or vertically adjacent to the previous square, starting in the first column and ending in the last column. Prove that the number of fish-friendly $42 \times 49$ grids is at least $2^{2022}$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Ilya and Sasha both choose a pair of different polynomials of degree $n$ with real coefficients. Lenya knows $n$, his goal is to find out whether Ilya and Sasha have the same pair of polynomials. Lenya selects a set of $k$ real numbers $x_1<x_2<\dots<x_k$ and reports these numbers. Then Ilya fills out a $2 \times k$ table: For each $i=1,2,\dots,k$ he writes a pair of numbers $P(x_i),Q(x_i)$ (in any of the two possible orders) intwo the two cells of the $i$-th column, where $P$ and $Q$ are his polynomials. Sasha fills out a similar table. What is the minimal $k$ such that Lenya can surely achieve the goal by looking at the tables? [i]Proposed by L. Shatunov[/i]

On a blackboard there are three positive integers. In each step the three numbers on the board are denoted as $a, b, c$ such that $a >gcd(b, c)$, then $a$ gets replaced by $ a-gcd(b, c)$. The game ends if there is no way to denote the numbers such that $a >gcd(b, c)$. Prove that the game always ends and that the last three numbers on the blackboard only depend on the starting numbers.
