Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Determine the locus of points $M$ in the interior of the triangle such that $AB-FG=\frac{MF \cdot AG+MG \cdot BF}{CM}$, where $F$ and $G$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $M$ to lines $BC$ and $AC$, respectively.

Let $ ABC$ be a triangle, and let the angle bisectors of its angles $ CAB$ and $ ABC$ meet the sides $ BC$ and $ CA$ at the points $ D$ and $ F$, respectively. The lines $ AD$ and $ BF$ meet the line through the point $ C$ parallel to $ AB$ at the points $ E$ and $ G$ respectively, and we have $ FG \equal{} DE$. Prove that $ CA \equal{} CB$. [i]Original formulation:[/i] Let $ ABC$ be a triangle and $ L$ the line through $ C$ parallel to the side $ AB.$ Let the internal bisector of the angle at $ A$ meet the side $ BC$ at $ D$ and the line $ L$ at $ E$ and let the internal bisector of the angle at $ B$ meet the side $ AC$ at $ F$ and the line $ L$ at $ G.$ If $ GF \equal{} DE,$ prove that $ AC \equal{} BC.$

The $n$-factorial of a positive integer $x$ is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to $z$ that are congruent to $z$ modulo $n$. For example, for the number 16, its 2-factorial is $16 \times 14 \times 12 \times 10 \times 8 \times 6 \times 4 \times 2$, its 3-factorial is $16 \times 13 \times 10 \times 7 \times 4 \times 1$ and its 18-factorial is 16. A positive integer is called [i]olympic[/i] if it has $n$ digits, all different than zero, and if it is equal to the sum of the $n$-factorials of its digits. Find all positive olympic integers.

Let $A$ be a non-empty subset of the set of all positive integers $N^*$. If any sufficient big positive integer can be expressed as the sum of $2$ elements in $A$(The two integers do not have to be different), then we call that $A$ is a divalent radical. For $x \geq 1$, let $A(x)$ be the set of all elements in $A$ that do not exceed $x$, prove that there exist a divalent radical $A$ and a constant number $C$ so that for every $x \geq 1$, there is always $\left| A(x) \right| \leq C \sqrt{x}$.

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Ana and Ben are playing a game with alternate moves as follows: in each move, the player which has the turn choose a number, which was not choosen before by any of the player, from the set $\{1,2,...,2p-3,2p-2\}$. This process continues until no number is left. After the end of the process, each player create the number by taking the product of the choosen numbers and then add 1. We say a player wins if the number that did create is divisible by $p$, while the number that did create the opponent it is not divisible by $p$, otherwise we say the game end in a draw. Ana start first move. Does it exist a strategy for any of the player to win the game? [i]Proposed by Dorlir Ahmeti, Kosovo[/i]
