Let \(n\ge3\) be a fixed integer, and let \(\alpha\) be a fixed positive real number. There are \(n\) numbers written around a circle such that there is exactly one \(1\) and the rest are \(0\)'s. An [i]operation[/i] consists of picking a number \(a\) in the circle, subtracting some positive real \(x\le a\) from it, and adding \(\alpha x\) to each of its neighbors.
Find all pairs \((n,\alpha)\) such that all the numbers in the circle can be made equal after a finite number of operations.

In a plane are given n points $P_i \ (i = 1, 2, \ldots , n)$ and two angles $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Over each of the segments $P_iP_{i+1} \ (P_{n+1} = P_1)$ a point $Q_i$ is constructed such that for all $i$:

[b]p1.[/b] Find a real number $x$ for which $x\lfloor x \rfloor = 1234.$
Note: $\lfloor x\rfloor$ is the largest integer less than or equal to $x$.
[b]p2.[/b] Let $C_1$ be a circle of radius $1$, and $C_2$ be a circle that lies completely inside or on the boundary of $C_1$. Suppose$ P$ is a point that lies inside or on $C_2$. Suppose $O_1$, and $O_2$ are the centers of $C_1$, and $C_2$, respectively. What is the maximum possible area of $\vartriangle O_1O_2P$? Prove your answer.
[b]p3.[/b] The numbers $1, 2, . . . , 99$ are written on a blackboard. We are allowed to erase any two distinct (but perhaps equal) numbers and replace them by their nonnegative difference. This operation is performed until a single number $k$ remains on the blackboard. What are all the possible values of $k$? Prove your answer.
Note: As an example if we start from $1, 2, 3, 4$ on the board, we can proceed by erasing $1$ and $2$ and replacing them by $1$. At that point we are left with $1, 3, 4$. We may then erase $3$ and $4$ and replacethem by $1$. The last step would be to erase $1$, $1$ and end up with a single $0$ on the board.
[b]p4.[/b] Let $a, b$ be two real numbers so that $a^3 - 6a^2 + 13a = 1$ and $b^3 - 6b^2 + 13b = 19$. Find $a + b$. Prove your answer.
[b]p5.[/b] Let $m, n, k$ be three positive integers with $n \ge k$. Suppose $A =\prod_{1\le i\le j\le m} gcd(n + i, k + j) $ is the product of $gcd(n + i, k + j)$, where $i, j$ range over all integers satisfying $1\le i\le j\le m$. Prove that the following fraction is an integer $$\frac{A}{(k + 1) \dots(k + m)}{n \choose k}.$$
Note: $gcd(a, b)$ is the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$, and ${n \choose k}= \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}$

For positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ with $a < b < c$, consider collections of postage stamps in denominations $a$, $b$, and $c$ cents that contain at least one stamp of each denomination. If there exists such a collection that contains sub-collections worth every whole number of cents up to $1000$ cents, let $f(a, b, c)$ be the minimum number of stamps in such a collection. Find the sum of the three least values of $c$ such that $f(a, b, c) = 97$ for some choice of $a$ and $b$.
