Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with incenter $I$ and circumcircle $\omega$. Suppose a circle $\omega_B$ is tangent to $BA,BC$, and internally tangent to $\omega$ at $B_1$, while a circle $\omega_C$ is tangent to $CA, CB$, and internally tangent to $\omega$ at $C_1$. If $B_2, C_2$ are the points opposite to $B,C$ on $\omega$, respectively, and $X$ denotes the intersection of $B_1C_2, B_2C_1$, prove that $XA=XI$. [i]Proposed by Vincent Huang and Nathan Weckwerth

2006 IMO, 2

Let $P$ be a regular $2006$-gon. A diagonal is called [i]good[/i] if its endpoints divide the boundary of $P$ into two parts, each composed of an odd number of sides of $P$. The sides of $P$ are also called [i]good[/i]. Suppose $P$ has been dissected into triangles by $2003$ diagonals, no two of which have a common point in the interior of $P$. Find the maximum number of isosceles triangles having two good sides that could appear in such a configuration.

A circle with diameter $20$ has points $A, B, C, D, E,$ and $F$ equally spaced along its circumference. A second circle is tangent to the lines $AB$ and $AF$ and internally tangent to the circle. If the second circle has diameter $\sqrt{m}+n$ for integers $m$ and $n$, find $m + n.$ [asy] import geometry; size(180); draw(circle((0,0),5)); pair[] p; string[] l={"A","B","C","D","E","F"}; for (int i=0; i<6; ++i){ p.append(new pair[]{dir(i*60+180)*5}); dot(p[i]); label(l[i],p[i],p[i]/3); } draw(p[0]--p[1]^^p[0]--p[5]); p.append(new pair[]{intersectionpoint(p[0]--p[0]+dir(-60)*90,p[3]--p[3]+(0,-100))}); p.append(new pair[]{intersectionpoint(p[0]--p[0]+dir(+60)*90,p[3]--p[3]+(0,+100))}); draw(incircle(p[0],p[6],p[7]));[/asy]

Let a chain denote a row of positive integers which continue infinitely in both directions, such that for each number $n$, the $n$ numbers directly to the left of $n$ yield $n$ distinct remainders upon division by $n$. (a) If a chain has a maximum integer, what are the possible values of that integer? (b) Does there exist a chain which does not have a maximum integer?

Eight rooks are placed on a chessboard so that no two rooks attack each other. Prove that one can always move all rooks, each by a move of a knight so that in the final position no two rooks attack each other as well. (In intermediate positions several rooks can share the same square).

Let $k$ be a constant such that exactly three real values of $x$ satisfy $$x-|x^2-4x+3| = k$$ The sum of all possible values of $k$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Andy Xu[/i]

Fix integers $n\ge k\ge 2$. We call a collection of integral valued coins $n-diverse$ if no value occurs in it more than $n$ times. Given such a collection, a number $S$ is $n-reachable$ if that collection contains $n$ coins whose sum of values equals $S$. Find the least positive integer $D$ such that for any $n$-diverse collection of $D$ coins there are at least $k$ numbers that are $n$-reachable. [I]Proposed by Alexandar Ivanov, Bulgaria.[/i]

Equilateral octagon $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6A_7A_8$ is constructed such that $A_1A_3A_5A_7$ is a square of side length $\sqrt{2}$ and $A_2A_4A_6A_8$ is a square of side length 4/3.

$A$ and $B$ play a game, given an integer $N$, $A$ writes down $1$ first, then every player sees the last number written and if it is $n$ then in his turn he writes $n+1$ or $2n$, but his number cannot be bigger than $N$. The player who writes $N$ wins. For which values of $N$ does $B$ win? [i]Proposed by A. Slinko & S. Marshall, New Zealand[/i]
