There were ten points $X_1, \ldots , X_{10}$ on a line in this particular order. Pete constructed an isosceles triangle on each segment $X_1X_2, X_2X_3,\ldots, X_9X_{10}$ as a base with the angle $\alpha{}$ at its apex. It so happened that all the apexes of those triangles lie on a common semicircle with diameter $X_1X_{10}$. Find $\alpha{}$. [i]Egor Bakaev[/i]

Suppose all of the 200 integers lying in between (and including) 1 and 200 are written on a blackboard. Suppose we choose exactly 100 of these numbers and circle each one of them. By the [i]score[/i] of such a choice, we mean the square of the difference between the sum of the circled numbers and the sum of the non-circled numbers. What is the average scores over all possible choices for 100 numbers?
