Let $ABCD$ be a trapezoid with $AB\parallel CD$ and $ \Omega $ is a circle passing through $A,B,C,D$. Let $ \omega $ be the circle passing through $C,D$ and intersecting with $CA,CB$ at $A_1$, $B_1$ respectively. $A_2$ and $B_2$ are the points symmetric to $A_1$ and $B_1$ respectively, with respect to the midpoints of $CA$ and $CB$. Prove that the points $A,B,A_2,B_2$ are concyclic. [i]I. Bogdanov[/i]

Circles ${w}_{1},{w}_{2}$ intersect at points ${{A}_{1}} $ and ${{A}_{2}} $. Let $B$ be an arbitrary point on the circle ${{w}_{1}}$, and line $B{{A}_{2}}$ intersects circle ${{w}_{2}}$ at point $C$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $\Delta B{{A}_{1}}C$. Prove that for arbitrary choice of point $B$, the point $H$ lies on a certain fixed circle.

Find all pairs of positive integers \( a, b \) such that one of the two numbers \( 2(a^2 + b^2) \) and \( (a + b)^2 + 4 \) is divisible by the other. [i]Proposed by Oleksii Masalitin[/i]

2022 Balkan MO Shortlist, C4

Consider an $n \times n$ grid consisting of $n^2$ until cells, where $n \geq 3$ is a given odd positive integer. First, Dionysus colours each cell either red or blue. It is known that a frog can hop from one cell to another if and only if these cells have the same colour and share at least one vertex. Then, Xanthias views the colouring and next places $k$ frogs on the cells so that each of the $n^2$ cells can be reached by a frog in a finite number (possible zero) of hops. Find the least value of $k$ for which this is always possible regardless of the colouring chosen by Dionysus. [i]Proposed by Tommy Walker Mackay, United Kingdom[/i]

1998 Iran MO (2nd round), 2

2022 IMO Shortlist, C1

A $\pm 1$-[i]sequence[/i] is a sequence of $2022$ numbers $a_1, \ldots, a_{2022},$ each equal to either $+1$ or $-1$. Determine the largest $C$ so that, for any $\pm 1$-sequence, there exists an integer $k$ and indices $1 \le t_1 < \ldots < t_k \le 2022$ so that $t_{i+1} - t_i \le 2$ for all $i$, and $$\left| \sum_{i = 1}^{k} a_{t_i} \right| \ge C.$$

Let $a_1$, $a_2$, $\ldots\,$, $a_{2019}$ be a sequence of real numbers. For every five indices $i$, $j$, $k$, $\ell$, and $m$ from 1 through 2019, at least two of the numbers $a_i$, $a_j$, $a_k$, $a_\ell$, and $a_m$ have the same absolute value. What is the greatest possible number of distinct real numbers in the given sequence?

2023 Israel TST, P1

Toph wants to tile a rectangular $m\times n$ square grid with the $6$ types of tiles in the picture (moving the tiles is allowed, but rotating and reflecting is not). For which pairs $(m,n)$ is this possible?

2020 Tournament Of Towns, 4

Henry invited $2N$ guests to his birthday party. He has $N$ white hats and $N$ black hats. He wants to place hats on his guests and split his guests into one or several dancing circles so that in each circle there would be at least two people and the colors of hats of any two neighbours would be different. Prove that Henry can do this in exactly $(2N)!$ different ways. (All the hats with the same color are identical, all the guests are obviously distinct, $(2N)! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot . . . \cdot (2N)$.)

2013 ISI Entrance Examination, 4

In a badminton tournament, each of $n$ players play all the other $n-1$ players. Each game results in either a win, or a loss. The players then write down the names of those whom they defeated, and also of those who they defeated. For example, if $A$ beats $B$ and $B$ beats $C,$ then $A$ writes the names of both $B$ and $C$. Show that there will be one person, who has written down the names of all the other $n-1$ players. [hide="Clarification"] Consider a game between $A,B,C,D,E,F,G$ where $A$ defeats $B$ and $C$ and $B$ defeats $E,F$, $C$ defeats $E.$ Then $A$'s list will have $(B,C,E,F)$, and will not include $G.$ [/hide]

A $2$-by-$2018$ grid is completely covered by non-overlapping L-tiles (see diagram below) and $1$-by-$1$ squares. If the L-tiles can be rotated and flipped, there are a total of $M$ such tilings. [asy] size(1cm); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,1)--(1,1)--(1,2)--(0,2)--cycle); draw((0,1)--(1,1)--(1,0)); [/asy] What is $\ln M?$ Give your answer as an integer or decimal. If your answer is $A$ and the correct answer is $C$, then your score will be $\max\{\lfloor7.5-\tfrac{|A-C|^{1.5}}{20}\rfloor,0\}.$

2012 Flanders Math Olympiad, 1

Our class decides to have a alpha - beta - gamma tournament. This party game is always played in groups of three. Any possible combination of three players (three students or two students and the teacher) plays the game $1$ time. The player who wins gets $1$ point. The two losers get no points. At the end of the tournament, miraculously, all students have as many points. The teacher has $3$ points. How many students are there in our class?
