Let $AB$ be a diameter of a circle $(\omega)$ with centre $O$. From an arbitrary point $M$ on $AB$ such that $MA < MB$ we draw the circles $(\omega_1)$ and $(\omega_2)$ with diameters $AM$ and $BM$ respectively. Let $CD$ be an exterior common tangent of $(\omega_1), (\omega_2)$ such that $C$ belongs to $(\omega_1)$ and $D$ belongs to $(\omega_2)$. The point $E$ is diametrically opposite to $C$ with respect to $(\omega_1)$ and the tangent to $(\omega_1)$ at the point $E$ intersects $(\omega_2)$ at the points $F, G$. If the line of the common chord of the circumcircles of the triangles $CED$ and $CFG$ intersects the circle $(\omega)$ at the points $K, L$ and the circle $(\omega_2)$ at the point $N$ (with $N$ closer to $L$), then prove that $KC = NL$.

Let $n\geqslant 2$ be a positive integer. Paul has a $1\times n^2$ rectangular strip consisting of $n^2$ unit squares, where the $i^{\text{th}}$ square is labelled with $i$ for all $1\leqslant i\leqslant n^2$. He wishes to cut the strip into several pieces, where each piece consists of a number of consecutive unit squares, and then [i]translate[/i] (without rotating or flipping) the pieces to obtain an $n\times n$ square satisfying the following property: if the unit square in the $i^{\text{th}}$ row and $j^{\text{th}}$ column is labelled with $a_{ij}$, then $a_{ij}-(i+j-1)$ is divisible by $n$. Determine the smallest number of pieces Paul needs to make in order to accomplish this.

Equilateral triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ has side length $12$ and equilateral triangles of side lengths $a, b, c < 6$ are each cut from a vertex of $\vartriangle ABC$, leaving behind an equiangular hexagon $A_1A_2B_1B_2C_1C_2$, where $A_1$ lies on $AC$, $A_2$ lies on $AB$, and the rest of the vertices are similarly defined. Let $A_3$ be the midpoint of $A_1A_2$ and define $B_3$, $C_3$ similarly. Let the center of $\vartriangle ABC$ be $O$. Note that $OA_3$, $OB_3$, $OC_3$ split the hexagon into three pentagons. If the sum of the areas of the equilateral triangles cut out is $18\sqrt3$ and the ratio of the areas of the pentagons is $5 : 6 : 7$, what is the value of $abc$?

The sequence of Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ is defined by $F_0 = F_1 = 1 $ and $F_{n+2} = F_n+F_{n+1}$ for all $n > 0$. For example, we have $F_2 = F_0 + F_1 = 2, F_3 = F_1 + F_2 = 3, F_4 = F_2 + F_3 = 5$, and $F_5 = F_3 + F_4 = 8$. The sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$ is defined by $a_n =\frac{1}{F_nF_{n+2}}$ for all $n \ge 0$. Prove that for all $m \ge 0$ we have: $a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_m < 1$.
