Suppose Robin and Eddy walk along a circular path with radius $r$ in the same direction. Robin makes a revolution around the circular path every $3$ minutes and Eddy makes a revolution every minute. Jack stands still at a distance $R>r$ from the center of the circular path. At time $t=0$, Robin and Eddy are at the same point on the path, and Jack, Robin, and Eddy, and the center of the path are collinear. When is the next time the three people (but not necessarily the center of the path) are collinear?

Given a convex figure in the Cartesian plane that is symmetric with respect of both axis, we construct a rectangle $A$ inside it with maximum area (over all posible rectangles). Then we enlarge it with center in the center of the rectangle and ratio lamda such that is covers the convex figure. Find the smallest lamda such that it works for all convex figures.

The circle $\omega_0$ touches the line at point A. Let $R$ be a given positive number. We consider various circles $\omega$ of radius $R$ that touch a line $\ell$ and have two different points in common with the circle $\omega_0$. Let $D$ be the touchpoint of the circle $\omega_0$ with the line $\ell$, and the points of intersection of the circles $\omega$ and $\omega_0$ are denoted by $B$ and $C$ (Assume that the distance from point $B$ to the line $\ell$ is greater than the distance from point $C$ to this line). Find the locus of the centers of the circumscribed circles of all such triangles $ABD$.

A man has a rectangular block of wood $m$ by $n$ by $r$ inches ($m, n,$ and $r$ are integers). He paints the entire surface of the block, cuts the block into inch cubes, and notices that exactly half the cubes are completely unpainted. Prove that the number of essentially different blocks with this property is finite. (Do [i] not [/i] attempt to enumerate them.)

In a sports meeting a total of $m$ medals were awarded over $n$ days. On the first day one medal and $\frac{1}{7}$ of the remaining medals were awarded. On the second day two medals and $\frac{1}{7}$ of the remaining medals were awarded, and so on. On the last day, the remaining $n$ medals were awarded.

In the Cartesian plane, let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be the graphs of the quadratic functions $f_1(x) = p_1x^2 + q_1x + r_1$ and $f_2(x) = p_2x^2 + q_2x + r_2$, where $p_1 > 0 > p_2$.

Let $H$ be the hyperbolic plane, $I(H)$ be the isometry group of $H$, and $O\in H$ be a fixed starting point. Determine those continuous $\sigma\colon H\rightarrow I(H)$ mappings that satisfty the following three conditions: (a) $\sigma(O)=\mathrm{id}$, and $\sigma (X)O=X$ for all $X\in H$; (b) for every $X\in H\backslash \{ O\}$ point, the $\sigma(X)$ isometry is a paracyclic shift, i.e. every member of a system of paracycles through a common infinitely far point is left invariant; (c) for any pair $P,Q\in H$ of points there exists a point $X\in H$ such that $\sigma(X)P=Q$. Prove that the $\sigma\colon H\rightarrow I(H)$ mappings satisfying the above conditions are differentiable with the exception of a point.
