We say that a set of positive integers is [i]regular [/i] if, for any selection of numbers from the set, the sum of the chosen numbers is different from $1810$. Divide the set of integers from $452$ to $1809$ (inclusive) into the smallest possible number of regular sets.

A right that passes through the incircle $ I$ of the triangle $ \Delta ABC$ intersects the side $ AB$ and $ CA$ in $ P$, respective $ Q$. We denote $ BC\equal{}a\ , \ AC\equal{}b\ ,\ AB\equal{}c$ and $ \frac{PB}{PA}\equal{}p\ ,\ \frac{QC}{QA}\equal{}q$. i) Prove that: \[ a(1\plus{}p)\cdot \overrightarrow{IP}\equal{}(a\minus{}pb)\overrightarrow{IB}\minus{}pc\overrightarrow{IC}\] ii) Show that $ a\equal{}bp\plus{}cq$. iii) If $ a^2\equal{}4bcpq$, then the rights $ AI\ ,\ BQ$ and $ CP$ are concurrents.

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ has side length $7$. Point $P$ is in the interior of triangle $ABC$, such that $PB=3$ and $PC=5$. The distance between the circumcenters of $ABC$ and $PBC$ can be expressed as $\frac{m\sqrt{n}}{p}$, where $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime and $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n+p$?

Let $S$ denote the set of $2$ by $2$ matrices with integer entries and determinant $1$, and let $T$ denote those matrices of $S$ which are congruent to the identity matrix $I\pmod3$ (so $\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{pmatrix}\in T$ means that $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb Z,ad-bc=1,$ and $3$ divides $b,c,a-1,d-1$). (a) Let $f:T\to\mathbb R$ be a function such that for every $X,Y\in T$ with $Y\ne I$, either $f(XY)>f(X)$ or $f(XY^{-1})>f(X)$. Show that given two finite nonempty subsets $A,B$ of $T$, there are matrices $a\in A$ and $b\in B$ such that if $a'\in A$, $b'\in B$ and $a'b'=ab$, then $a'=a$ and $b'=b$. (b) Show that there is no $f:S\to\mathbb R$ such that for every $X,Y\in S$ with $Y\ne\pm I$, either $f(XY)>f(X)$ or $f(XY^{-1})>f(X)$.

The center $O$ of the circle $\omega$ passing through the vertex $C$ of the isosceles triangle $ABC$ ($AB = AC$) is the interior point of the triangle $ABC$. This circle intersects segments $BC$ and $AC$ at points $D \ne C$ and $E \ne C$, respectively, and the circumscribed circle $\Omega$ of the triangle $AEO$ at the point $F \ne E$. Prove that the center of the circumcircle of the triangle $BDF$ lies on the circle $\Omega$.

Stacy has $d$ dollars. She enters a mall with $10$ shops and a lottery stall. First she goes to the lottery and her money is doubled, then she goes into the first shop and spends $1024$ dollars. After that she alternates playing the lottery and getting her money doubled (Stacy always wins) then going into a new shop and spending $\$1024$. When she comes out of the last shop she has no money left. What is the minimum possible value of $d$?
