Problem: A mathematical moron is given the values b; c; A for a triangle ABC and is required to fi nd a. He does this by using the cosine rule $ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccosA$ and misapplying the low of the logarithm to this to get $ log a^2 = log b^2 + log c^2 - log(2bc cos A) $ He proceeds to evaluate the right-hand side correctly, takes the anti-logarithms and gets the correct answer. What can be said about the triangle ABC?

Given a positive integer $k$, a pigeon and a seagull play a game on an $n\times n$ board. The pigeon goes first, and they take turns doing the operations. The pigeon will choose $m$ grids and lay an egg in each grid he chooses. The seagull will choose a $k\times k$ grids and eat all the eggs inside them. If at any point every grid in the $n\times n $ board has an egg in it, then the pigeon wins. Else, the seagull wins. For every integer $n\geq k$, find all $m$ such that the pigeon wins.

Points $A$ and $B$ are on a circle $\omega$ with center $O$ such that $\tfrac{\pi}{3}< \angle AOB <\tfrac{2\pi}{3}$. Let $C$ be the circumcenter of the triangle $AOB$. Let $l$ be a line passing through $C$ such that the angle between $l$ and the segment $OC$ is $\tfrac{\pi}{3}$. $l$ cuts tangents in $A$ and $B$ to $\omega$ in $M$ and $N$ respectively.

2022 SAFEST Olympiad, 3

A hunter and an invisible rabbit play a game on an infinite square grid. First the hunter fixes a colouring of the cells with finitely many colours. The rabbit then secretly chooses a cell to start in. Every minute, the rabbit reports the colour of its current cell to the hunter, and then secretly moves to an adjacent cell that it has not visited before (two cells are adjacent if they share an edge). The hunter wins if after some finite time either:[list][*]the rabbit cannot move; or [*]the hunter can determine the cell in which the rabbit started.[/list]Decide whether there exists a winning strategy for the hunter.
