Let $ABC$ be a triangle for which the tangent from $A$ to the circumcircle intersects line $BC$ at $D$, and let $O$ be the circumcenter. Construct the line $l$ that passes through $A$ and is perpendicular to $OD$. $l$ intersects $OD$ at $E$ and $BC$ at $F$. Let the circle passing through $ADO$ intersect $BC$ again at $H$. It is given that $AD=AO=1$.

c) Suppose for this part only that $BC=\sqrt3$: determine the area of triangle $OEF$.
d) Suppose that $B$ lies on the angle bisector of $DEF$. Find the area of the triangle $OEF$.

Assume we are given a set of weights, $x_1$ of which have mass $d_1$, $x_2$ have mass $d_2$, etc, $x_k$ have mass $d_k$, where $x_i,d_i$ are positive integers and $1\le d_1<d_2<\ldots<d_k$. Let us denote their total sum by $n=x_1d_1+\ldots+x_kd_k$. We call such a set of weights [i]perfect[/i] if each mass $0,1,\ldots,n$ can be uniquely obtained using these weights.
(a) Write down all sets of weights of total mass $5$. Which of them are perfect?
(b) Show that a perfect set of weights satisfies $$(1+x_1)(1+x_2)\cdots(1+x_k)=n+1.$$
(c) Conversely, if $(1+x_1)(1+x_2)\cdots(1+x_k)=n+1$, prove that one can uniquely choose the corresponding masses $d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_k$ with $1\le d_1<\ldots<d_k$ in order for the obtained set of weights is perfect.
(d) Determine all perfect sets of weights of total mass $1993$.

A regular hexagon with side length $1$ is given. Using a ruler construct points in such a way that among the given and constructed points there are two such points that the distance between them is $\sqrt7$.
Notes: ''Using a ruler construct points $\ldots$'' means: Newly constructed points arise only as the intersection of straight lines connecting two points that are given or already constructed. In particular, no length can be measured by the ruler.

Alice and Bob play a game on a connected graph with $2n$ vertices, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $n>1$.. Alice and Bob have tokens named A and B respectively. They alternate their turns with Alice going first. Alice gets to decide the starting positions of A and B. Every move, the player with the turn moves their token to an adjacent vertex. Bob's goal is to catch Alice, and Alice's goal is to prevent this. Note that positions of A, B are visible to both Alice and Bob at every moment.
Provided they both play optimally, what is the maximum possible number of edges in the graph if Alice is able to evade Bob indefinitely?
