Initially an urn contains 100 black marbles and 100 white marbles. Repeatedly, three marbles are removed from the urn and replaced from a pile outside the urn as follows:
\[
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\textbf{\underline{MARBLES REMOVED}} & & \textbf{\underline{REPLACED WITH}} \\
3 black & & 1 black \\
2 black, 1 white & &1 black, 1 white\\
1 black, 2 white & & 2 white \\
3 white & & 1 black, 1 white
\end{tabular}
\]
Which of the following sets of marbles could be the contents of the urn after repeated applications of this procedure?
$ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{2 black marbles} $
$\textbf{(B)}\ \text{2 white marbles} $
$\textbf{(C)}\ \text{1 black marble} $
$\textbf{(D)}\ \text{1 black and 1 white marble} $
$\textbf{(E)}\ \text{1 white marble} $

Elisenda has a piece of paper in the shape of a triangle with vertices $A, B,$ and $C$ such that $AB = 42.$ She chooses a point $D$ on segment $AC,$ and she folds the paper along line $BD$ so that $A$ lands at a point $E$ on segment $BC.$ Then, she folds the paper along line $DE.$ When she does this, $B$ lands at the midpoint of segment $DC.$ Compute the perimeter of the original unfolded triangle.

There are 8 coins, 7 of which are real, which weigh the same, and one is fake, which differs in weight from the rest. Cup scales without weights mean that if you put equal weights on their cups, then any of the cups can outweigh, but if the loads are different in mass, then the cup with a heavier load is definitely overpowered. How to definitely identify a counterfeit coin in four weighings and establish is it lighter or heavier than the others?

Suppose that $ ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral. Let $ E \equal{} AC\cap BD$ and $ F \equal{} AB\cap CD$. Denote by $ H_{1}$ and $ H_{2}$ the orthocenters of triangles $ EAD$ and $ EBC$, respectively. Prove that the points $ F$, $ H_{1}$, $ H_{2}$ are collinear.
Original formulation:
Let $ ABC$ be a triangle. A circle passing through $ B$ and $ C$ intersects the sides $ AB$ and $ AC$ again at $ C'$ and $ B',$ respectively. Prove that $ BB'$, $CC'$ and $ HH'$ are concurrent, where $ H$ and $ H'$ are the orthocentres of triangles $ ABC$ and $ AB'C'$ respectively.

One day in a room there were several inhabitants of an island where only truth-tellers and liars live. Three of them made the following statements:
[list]
[*] There are no more than three of us here. We are all liars.
[*] There are no more than four of us here. Not all of us are liars.
[*] There are five of us here. At least three of us are liars.
[/list]
How many people are in the room and how many of them are liars?

Let $n$ be a positive integer. For $i$ and $j$ in $\{1,2, \ldots, n\}$, let $s(i, j)$ be the number of pairs $(a, b)$ of nonnegative integers satisfying $a i+b j=n$. Let $S$ be the $n$-by-n matrix whose $(i, j)$-entry is $s(i, j)$.
