Let $ABC$ be an acute scalene triangle and $K$ be a point inside it that belongs to the bisector of the angle $\angle ABC$. Let$ P$ be the point where the line $AK$ intersects the line perpendicular to $AB$ that passes through $B$, and let $Q$ be the point where the line $CK$ intersects the line perpendicular to $CB$ that passes through $B$. Let $L$ be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from $K$ on the line $AC$. Prove that if $P Q$ is perpendicular to $BL$, then $K$ is the incenter of $ABC$.

There are $3$ students from Korea, China, and Japan, so total of $9$ students are present. How many ways are there to make them sit down in a circular table, with equally spaced and equal chairs, such that the students from the same country do not sit next to each other? If array $A$ can become array $B$ by rotation, these two arrays are considered equal.

A chess tournament took place between $2n+1$ players. Every player played every other player once, with no draws. In addition, each player had a numerical rating before the tournament began, with no two players having equal ratings. It turns out there were exactly $k$ games in which the lower-rated player beat the higher-rated player. Prove that there is some player who won no less than $n-\sqrt{2k}$ and no more than $n+\sqrt{2k}$ games.

We call two non-constant polynomials [i]friendly[/i] if each of them has only real roots, and every root of one polynomial is also a root of the other. For two friendly polynomials \( P(x), Q(x) \) and a constant \( C \in \mathbb{R}, C \neq 0 \), it is given that \( P(x) + C \) and \( Q(x) + C \) are also friendly polynomials. Prove that \( P(x) \equiv Q(x) \).

Let's say that an ordered triple of positive integers $(a,b,c)$ is [i]$n$-powerful[/i] if $a\le b\le c,\gcd (a,b,c)=1$ and $a^n+b^n+c^n$ is divisible by $a+b+c$. For example, $(1,2,2)$ is $5$-powerful.
$a)$ Determine all ordered triples (if any) which are $n$-powerful for all $n\ge 1$.
$b)$ Determine all ordered triples (if any) which are $2004$-powerful and $2005$-powerful, but not $2007$-powerful.

Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral with $AC=20$, $AD=16$. We take point $P$ on segment $CD$ so that triangle $ABP$ and $ACD$ are congruent. If the area of triangle $APD$ is $28$, find the area of triangle $BCP$. Note that $XY$ expresses the length of segment $XY$.

In a round-robin tournament, where any two players play each other exactly once, the fact holds that among every three students $A$, $B$, and $C$, one of the students beats the other two. Given that there are six players in the tournament and Aidan beats Zach but loses to Andrew, find how many ways there are for the tournament to play out. Note: The order in which the matches take place does not matter.

[i]The following problem is open in the sense that no solution is currently known to part (b).[/i]
Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer, and $P_n$ be a regular polygon with $n^2-n+1$ vertices.
We say that $n$ is $\emph{taut}$ if it is possible to choose $n$ of the vertices of $P_n$ such that the pairwise distances between the chosen vertices are all distinct.
(a) show that if $n-1$ is prime then $n$ is taut.
(b) Which integers $n\geq 2$ are taut?

For a finite set $A$ of integers, define $s(A)$ as the number of values obtained by adding any two elements of $A$, not necessarily different. Analogously, define $r (A)$ as the number of values obtained by subtracting any two elements of $A$, not necessarily different.
For example, if $A = \{3,1,-1\}$
$\bullet$ The values obtained by adding any two elements of $A$ are $\{6,4,2,0,-2\}$ and so $s (A) = 5$.
$\bullet$ The values obtained by subtracting any two elements of $A$ are $\{4,2,0,-2,-4\}$ and as $r (A) = 5$.
Prove that for each positive integer $n$ there is a finite set $A$ of integers such that $r (A) \ge n s (A)$.

Let $S$ be the set of all four digit palindromes (a palindrome is a number that reads the same forwards and backwards). The average value of $|m - n|$ over all ordered pairs $(m, n)$, where $m$ and $n$ are (not necessarily distinct) elements of $S$, is equal to $p/q$ , for relatively prime positive integers $p$ and $q$. Find $p + q$.

Defined as $N_0$ as the set of all non-negative integers. Set $S \subset N_0$ with not so many elements is called beautiful if for every $a, b \in S$ with $a \ge b$ ($a$ and $b$ do not have to be different), exactly one of $a + b$ or $a - b$ is in $S$. Set $T \subset N_0$ with not so many elements is called charming if the largest number $k$ such that up to 3$^k | a$ is the same for each element $a \in T$. Prove that each beautiful set must be charming.

Let $\alpha=1+a_1x+a_2x^2+\ldots$ be a formal power series with coefficients in the field of two elements. Let
$$a_n=\begin{cases}1&\text{if every block of zeroes in the binary expansion of }n\text{ has an even number of zeroes}\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$$(For example, $a_{36}=1$ since $36=100100_2$)
Prove that $\alpha^3+x\alpha+1=0$.

Does the circle T = R / Z have a self-homeomorphism $\phi$ that is singular (that is, its derivative is almost everywhere 0), but the mapping $f:T \to T$ , $f(x) = \phi^{-1} (2\phi(x))$ is absolutely continuous?

Jerry starts at 0 on the real number line. He tosses a fair coin 8 times. When he gets heads, he moves 1 unit in the positive direction; when he gets tails, he moves 1 unit in the negative direction. The probability that he reaches 4 at some time during this process is $a/b$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $a+b$? (For example, he succeeds if his sequence of tosses is $HTHHHHHH$.)
