In the triangle $ABC$, variable points $D, E, F$ are on the sides[lines] $BC, CA, AB$ respectively so the triangle $DFE$ is similar to the triangle $ABC$ in this order. Circumcircles of $BDF$ and $CDE$ intersect respectively the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $P$ and $Q$ for the second time. Prove that the circumcircle of $DPQ$ passes through a fixed point.

An segment $S$ of length $50$ is covered by several segments of length $1$ , all of them contained in $S$. If any of these unit segments were removed, $S$ would no longer be completely covered. Find the maximum number of unit segments with this property. Clarification: Assume that the segments include their endpoints.

The Y2K Game is played on a $1 \times 2000$ grid as follows. Two players in turn write either an S or an O in an empty square. The first player who produces three consecutive boxes that spell SOS wins. If all boxes are filled without producing SOS then the game is a draw. Prove that the second player has a winning strategy.

Joe and Penny play a game. Initially there are $5000$ stones in a pile, and the two players remove stones from the pile by making a sequence of moves. On the $k$-th move, any number of stones between $1$ and $k$ inclusive may be removed. Joe makes the odd-numbered moves and Penny makes the even-numbered moves. The player who removes the very last stone is the winner. Who wins if both players play perfectly?

Arthur and Renate play a game on a $7 \times 7$ board. Arthur has two red tiles, initially placed on the cells in the bottom left and the upper right corner. Renate has two black tiles, initially placed on the cells in the bottom right and the upper left corner. In a move, a player can choose one of his two tiles and move them to a horizontally or vertically adjacent cell. The players alternate, with Arthur beginning. Arthur wins when both of his tiles are in horizontally or vertically adjacent cells after some number of moves. Can Renate prevent him from winning?

Ed has five identical green marbles and a large supply of identical red marbles. He arranges the green marbles and some of the red marbles in a row and finds that the number of marbles whose right hand neighbor is the same color as themselves equals the number of marbles whose right hand neighbor is the other color. An example of such an arrangement is GGRRRGGRG. Let $m$ be the maximum number of red marbles for which Ed can make such an arrangement, and let $N$ be the number of ways in which Ed can arrange the $m+5$ marbles to satisfy the requirement. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by 1000.

The kingdom of Anisotropy consists of $n$ cities. For every two cities there exists exactly one direct one-way road between them. We say that a [i]path from $X$ to $Y$[/i] is a sequence of roads such that one can move from $X$ to $Y$ along this sequence without returning to an already visited city. A collection of paths is called [i]diverse[/i] if no road belongs to two or more paths in the collection. Let $A$ and $B$ be two distinct cities in Anisotropy. Let $N_{AB}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $A$ to $B$. Similarly, let $N_{BA}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $B$ to $A$. Prove that the equality $N_{AB} = N_{BA}$ holds if and only if the number of roads going out from $A$ is the same as the number of roads going out from $B$.
