Let $XY$ be a segment, which is a diameter of a semi-circle. Let $Z$ be a point on $XY$ and 9 rays from $Z$ are drawn that divide $\angle XZY=180^{\circ}$ into $10$ equal angles. These rays meet the semi-circle at $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_9$ in this order in the direction from $X$ to $Y$. Prove that the sum of the areas of triangles $ZA_2A_3$ and $ZA_7A_8$ equals the area of the quadrilateral $A_2A_3A_7A_8$.

Let $n$ be a natural composite number. For each proper divisor $d$ of $n$ we write the number $d + 1$ on the board. Determine all natural numbers $n$ for which the numbers written on the board are all the proper divisors of a natural number $m$. (The proper divisors of a natural number $a> 1$ are the positive divisors of $a$ different from $1$ and $a$.)

In solving a problem that reduces to a quadratic equation one student makes a mistake only in the constant term of the equation and obtains $ 8$ and $ 2$ for the roots. Another student makes a mistake only in the coefficient of the first degree term and find $ \minus{}9$ and $ \minus{}1$ for the roots. The correct equation was: $ \textbf{(A)}\ x^2\minus{}10x\plus{}9\equal{}0 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ x^2\plus{}10x\plus{}9\equal{}0 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ x^2\minus{}10x\plus{}16\equal{}0\\ \textbf{(D)}\ x^2\minus{}8x\minus{}9\equal{}0 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{none of these}$

Given the line $AB$, let $M$ be a point on it. Towards the same side of the plane and with bases $AM$ and $MB$, squares $AMCD$ and $MBEF$ are constructed. Let $N$ be the point (different from $M$) where the circumcircles circumscribed to both squares intersect and let $N_1$ be the point where the lines $BC$ and $AF$ intersect. Prove that the points $N$ and $N_1$ coincide. Prove that as the point $M$ moves on the line $AB$, the line $MN$ moves always passing through a fixed point.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Anna and Beatrice play a game with a deck of $n$ cards labelled with the numbers $1, 2,...,n$. Initially, the deck is shuffled. The players take turns, starting with Anna. At each turn, if $k$ denotes the number written on the topmost card, then the player first looks at all the cards and then rearranges the $k$ topmost cards. If, after rearranging, the topmost card shows the number k again, then the player has lost and the game ends. Otherwise, the turn of the other player begins. Determine, depending on the initial shuffle, if either player has a winning strategy, and if so, who does.

A unicorn is tethered by a 20-foot silver rope to the base of a magician's cylindrical tower whose radius is 8 feet. The rope is attached to the tower at ground level and to the unicorn at a height of 4 feet. The unicorn has pulled the rope taut, the end of the rope is 4 feet from the nearest point on the tower, and the length of the rope that is touching the tower is $\frac{a-\sqrt{b}}c$ feet, where $a, b,$ and $c$ are positive integers, and $c$ is prime. Find $a+b+c$.

A number is called polite if it can be written as $ m + (m+1)+...+ n$, for certain positive integers $ m <n$ . For example: $18$ is polite, since $18 =5 + 6 + 7$. A number is called a power of two if it can be written as $2^{\ell}$ for some integer $\ell \ge 0$. (a) Show that no number is both polite and a power of two. (b) Show that every positive integer is polite or a power of two.
