Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle with $\angle ABC > \angle BCA \ge 30^o$ . The angle bisectors of $\angle ABC$ and $\angle BCA$ intersect $CA$ and $AB$ at $D$ and $E$ respectively, and $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at $P$. Suppose that $P D = P E$ and the incircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ has unit radius. What is the maximum possible length of $BC$?

2018 European Mathematical Cup, 4

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Ana and Banana are playing the following game: First, Ana arranges $2n$ cups in a row on a table, each facing upside-down. She then places a ball under a cup and makes a hole in the table under some other cup. Banana then gives a finite sequence of commands to Ana, where each command consists of swapping two adjacent cups in the row. Her goal is to achieve that the ball has fallen into the hole during the game. Assuming Banana has no information about the position of the hole and the position of the ball at any point, what is the smallest number of commands she has to give in order to achieve her goal?

A natural number of five digits is called [i]Ecuadorian [/i]if it satisfies the following conditions: $\bullet$ All its digits are different. $\bullet$ The digit on the far left is equal to the sum of the other four digits. Example: $91350$ is an Ecuadorian number since $9 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 0$, but $54210$ is not since $5 \ne 4 + 2 + 1 + 0$. Find how many Ecuadorian numbers exist.
