Given a convex quadrilateral $MNPQ$. Assume that there exists 2 points $U, V$ inside $MNPQ$ satifying:$$\angle MUN = \angle MUV = \angle NUV = \angle QVU = \angle PVU = \angle PVQ$$Consider another 2 points $X, Y$ in the plane. Prove that the sum$$XM + XN + XY + YP + YQ$$get its minimum value iff $X\equiv U, Y\equiv V$.

In a mathematical contest, three problems, $A,B,C$ were posed. Among the participants ther were 25 students who solved at least one problem each. Of all the contestants who did not solve problem $A$, the number who solved $B$ was twice the number who solved $C$. The number of students who solved only problem $A$ was one more than the number of students who solved $A$ and at least one other problem. Of all students who solved just one problem, half did not solve problem $A$. How many students solved only problem $B$?

Sergio thinks of a positive integer $S$, less than or equal to $100$. Iván must guess the number that Sergio thought of, using the following procedure: in each step, he chooses two positive integers $A$ and $B$ less than $100$, and asks Sergio what is the greatest common factor between $A+ S$ and $B$. Give a sequence of seven steps that ensures Iván guesses the number $S$ that Sergio thought of. Clarification:In each step, Sergio correctly answers Iván's question.

In an acute-angled triangle $ABC$ on the sides $AB$, $BC$, $AC$, the points $C_1$, $A_1$, and $B_1$ are marked such that the segments $AA_1$, $BB_1$, $CC_1$ intersect at some point $O$ and the angles $AA_1C$, $BB_1A$, $CC_1B$ are equal. Prove that $AA_1$, $BB_1$, and $CC_1$ are the altitudes of the triangle.

We have $ n \geq 2$ lamps $ L_{1}, . . . ,L_{n}$ in a row, each of them being either on or off. Every second we simultaneously modify the state of each lamp as follows: if the lamp $ L_{i}$ and its neighbours (only one neighbour for $ i \equal{} 1$ or $ i \equal{} n$, two neighbours for other $ i$) are in the same state, then $ L_{i}$ is switched off; – otherwise, $ L_{i}$ is switched on. Initially all the lamps are off except the leftmost one which is on. $ (a)$ Prove that there are infinitely many integers $ n$ for which all the lamps will eventually be off. $ (b)$ Prove that there are infinitely many integers $ n$ for which the lamps will never be all off.

An isosceles triangle with $AB=AC$ has an inscribed circle $O$, which touches its sides $BC,CA,AB$ at $K,L,M$ respectively. The lines $OL$ and $KM$ intersect at $N$; the lines $BN$ and $CA$ intersect at $Q$. Let $P$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $A$ on $BQ$. Suppose that $BP=AP+2\cdot PQ$. Then, what values can the ratio $\frac{AB}{BC}$ assume?

Find all $n \ge 2$ for which the order of greetings can be arranged in such a way that after all of them, each person has their own hat back.

Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer, and choose $n$ positive integers $a_1, \ldots , a_n$. Given a permutation $\pi$ on the first $n$ positive integers, let $S_{\pi}=\{i\mid \frac{a_i}{\pi(i)} \text{ is an integer}\}$. Let $N$ denote the number of distinct sets $S_{\pi}$ as $\pi$ ranges over all such permutations. Determine, in terms of $n$, the maximum value of $N$ over all possible values of $a_1, \ldots , a_n$.
