One of the boxes that Joshua and Wendy unpack has Joshua's collection of board games. Michael, Wendy, Alexis, and Joshua decide to play one of them, a game called $\textit{Risk}$ that involves rolling ordinary six-sided dice to determine the outcomes of strategic battles. Wendy has never played before, so early on Michael explains a bit of strategy. "You have the first move and you occupy three of the four territories in the Australian continent. You'll want to attack Joshua in Indonesia so that you can claim the Australian continent which will give you bonus armies on your next turn." "Don't tell her $\textit{that!}$" complains Joshua. Wendy and Joshua begin rolling dice to determine the outcome of their struggle over Indonesia. Joshua rolls extremely well, overcoming longshot odds to hold off Wendy's attack. Finally, Wendy is left with one chance. Wendy and Joshua each roll just one six-sided die. Wendy wins if her roll is $\textit{higher}$ than Joshua's roll. Let $a$ and $b$ be relatively prime positive integers so that $a/b$ is the probability that Wendy rolls higher, giving her control over the continent of Australia. Find the value of $a+b$.

It is known that in the triangle $ABC$ the smallest side is $BC$. Let $X, Y, K$ and $L$ - points on the sides $AB, AC$ and on the rays $CB, BC$, respectively, are such that $BX = BK = BC =CY =CL$. The line $KX$ intersects the line $LY$ at the point $M$. Prove that the intersection point of the medians $\vartriangle KLM$ coincides with the center of the inscribed circle $\vartriangle ABC$.

Given triangle $ABC$ and point $P$. Points $A', B', C'$ are the projections of $P$ to $BC, CA, AB$. A line passing through $P$ and parallel to $AB$ meets the circumcircle of triangle $PA'B'$ for the second time in point $C_{1}$. Points $A_{1}, B_{1}$ are defined similarly. Prove that a) lines $AA_{1}, BB_{1}, CC_{1}$ concur; b) triangles $ABC$ and $A_{1}B_{1}C_{1}$ are similar.

In triangle $ABC$, we consider the concurrent lines $AA_1$, $BB_1$ and $CC_1$, with $A_1$, $B_1$ and $C_1$ lying on the segments $BC$, $CA$ and respectively $AB$. If the point of intersection of the lines is the incenter of $\triangle A_1B_1C_1$, prove that it is also the orthocenter of $\triangle ABC$.

1989 Brazil National Olympiad, 4

A game is played by two contestants A and B, each one having ten chips numbered from 1 to 10. The board of game consists of two numbered rows, from 1 to 1492 on the first row and from 1 to 1989 on the second. At the $n$-th turn, $n=1,2,\ldots,10$, A puts his chip numbered $n$ in any empty cell, and B puts his chip numbered $n$ in any empty cell on the row not containing the chip numbered $n$ from A. B wins the game if, after the 10th turn, both rows show the numbers of the chips in the same relative order. Otherwise, A wins. [list=a] [*] Which player has a winning strategy? [*] Suppose now both players has $k$ chips numbered 1 to $k$. Which player has a winning strategy? [*] Suppose further the rows are the set $\mathbb{Q}$ of rationals and the set $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers. Which player has a winning strategy? [/list]

A sequence $(a_n)_{-\infty}^{-\infty}$ of zeros and ones is given. It is known that $a_n = 0$ if and only if $a_{n-6} + a_{n-5} +...+ a_{n-1}$ is a multiple of $3$, and not all terms of the sequence are zero. Determine the maximum possible number of zeros among $a_0,a_1,...,a_{97}$.

2020 Israel National Olympiad, 2

202 participants arrived at a mathematical conference from three countries: Israel, Greece, and Japan. On the first day of the conference, every pair of participants from the same country shook hands. On the second day, every pair of participants exactly one of whom was Israeli shook hands. On the third day, every pair of participants one of whom was Israeli and the other Greek shook hands. In total 20200 handshakes occurred. How many Israelis participated in the conference?
