Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$, and the incircle touches $BC$ at $D$. The points $E, F$ are such that $BE \parallel AI \parallel CF$ and $\angle BEI=\angle CFI=90^{\circ}$. If $DE, DF$ meet the incircle at $E', F'$, show that $E'F' \perp AI$.

The names of $10$ people are inside $10$ boxes. Each box is labeled with someone's name. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up and not everyone's name is in his or her own box. Each person looks through $5$ boxes in the following way. First, they look in their own box. After looking in a box, they look at the box labeled with the name they found in the previous box. (For example, if someone looks in a box and finds the name "Joe," he or she will then look at the box labeled "Joe.") What is the probability that every person finds his or her own name in a box?

Let $ABC$ be an acute, scalene triangle. Let $H$ be the orthocenter. Let the circle going through $B$, $H$, and $C$ intersect $CA$ again at $D$. Given that $\angle ABH=20^\circ$, find, in degrees, $\angle BDC$.

Consider a latticelike packing of translates of a convex region $K$. Let $t$ be the area of the fundamental parallelogram of the lattice defining the packing, and let $t_{\min} (K)$ denote the minimal value of $t$ taken for all latticelike packings. Is there a natural number $N$ such that for any $n>N$ and for any $K$ different from a parallelogram, $nt_{\min} (K)$ is smaller that the area of any convex domain in which $n$ translates to $K$ can be placed without overlapping? (By a [i]latticelike packing[/i] of $K$ we mean a set of nonoverlapping translates of $K$ obtained from $K$ by translations with all vectors of a lattice.) [G. and L. Fejes-Toth]

There is $500$ dollars in a bank. Two bank operations are allowed: to withdraw $300$ dollars from the bank or to deposit $198$ dollars into the bank. These operations can be repeated as many times as necessary but only the money that was initially in the bank can be used. What is the largest amount of money that can be borrowed from the bank? How can this be done? (AK Tolpygo)

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Consider a triangular array of nonnegative integers as follows: \[ \begin{array}{rccccccccc} \text{Row } 1: &&&&& a_{0,1} &&&& \smallskip\\ \text{Row } 2: &&&& a_{0,2} && a_{1,2} &&& \smallskip\\ &&& \vdots && \vdots && \vdots && \smallskip\\ \text{Row } n-1: && a_{0,n-1} && a_{1,n-1} && \cdots && a_{n-2,n-1} & \smallskip\\ \text{Row } n: & a_{0,n} && a_{1,n} && a_{2,n} && \cdots && a_{n-1,n} \end{array} \] Call such a triangular array [i]stable[/i] if for every $0 \le i < j < k \le n$ we have \[ a_{i,j} + a_{j,k} \le a_{i,k} \le a_{i,j} + a_{j,k} + 1. \] For $s_1, \ldots s_n$ any nondecreasing sequence of nonnegative integers, prove that there exists a unique stable triangular array such that the sum of all of the entries in row $k$ is equal to $s_k$.
