In an acute triangle $ABC$, a point $P$ is taken on the $A$-altitude. Lines $BP$ and $CP$ intersect the sides $AC$ and $AB$ at points $D$ and $E$, respectively. Tangents drawn from points $D$ and $E$ to the circumcircle of triangle $BPC$ are tangent to it at points $K$ and $L$, respectively, which are in the interior of triangle $ABC$. Line $KD$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $AKC$ at point $M$ for the second time, and line $LE$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $ALB$ at point $N$ for the second time. Prove that\[ \frac{KD}{MD}=\frac{LE}{NE} \iff \text{Point P is the orthocenter of triangle ABC}\]

Regular hexagon is divided to equal rhombuses, with sides, parallels to hexagon sides. On the three sides of the hexagon, among which there are no neighbors, is set directions in order of traversing the hexagon against hour hand. Then, on each side of the rhombus, an arrow directed just as the side of the hexagon parallel to this side. Prove that there is not a closed path going along the arrows.

Let $A$ and $B$ points in the plane and $C$ a point in the perpendiclar bisector of $AB$. It is constructed a sequence of points $C_1,C_2,\dots, C_n,\dots$ in the following way: $C_1=C$ and for $n\geq1$, if $C_n$ does not belongs to $AB$, then $C_{n+1}$ is the circumcentre of the triangle $\triangle{ABC_n}$. Find all the points $C$ such that the sequence $C_1,C_2,\dots$ is defined for all $n$ and turns eventually periodic. Note: A sequence $C_1,C_2, \dots$ is called eventually periodic if there exist positive integers $k$ and $p$ such that $C_{n+p}=c_n$ for all $n\geq{k}$.

Several farmers have 128 sheep. If one of them has at least half of all sheep, the rest conspire and dispossess him: everyone takes as many sheep as he already has : If two people have 64 sheep, then one of them is dispossessed. There were 7 dispossessions. Prove that all the sheep were gathered from one peasant.

Amy is traveling on the $xy$-plane in a spaceship where her motion is described by the following equation $xe^y = ye^x$. Given that her $x$-component of velocity is a constant $3$ mph , the magnitude of her velocity as she approaches $(1,-1)$ can be expressed as $\sqrt{\frac{a + be^4}{ c + de^2}}$ . Find $\frac{ac}{bd}$ . (You may assume that the initial conditions do allow her to approach $(1,-1)$)
