Evaluate $ \int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac {\pi}{2}} \frac {1}{(\sin x \plus{} \cos x \plus{} 2\sqrt {\sin x\cos x})\sqrt {\sin x\cos x}}dx$.

Solve the following equation in $\mathbb{R}$: $$\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)^\frac{1}{2}+\left(1-\frac{1}{x}\right)^\frac{1}{2}=x.$$

Let $AA_1,BB_1, CC_1$ be the altitudes in an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, $K$ and $M$ are points on the line segments $A_1C_1$ and $B_1C_1$ respectively. Prove that if the angles $MAK$ and $CAA_1$ are equal, then the angle $C_1KM$ is bisected by $AK.$

The points $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$, $E$ lie on a line $\ell$ in this order. Suppose $T$ is a point not on $\ell$ such that $\angle BTC = \angle DTE$, and $\overline{AT}$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $BTE$. If $AB = 2$, $BC = 36$, and $CD = 15$, compute $DE$. [i]Proposed by Yang Liu[/i]

Let $a_i > 0$ for $i=1,2,\dots,n$ and suppose $a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n = 1$. Prove that for any positive integer $k$, \[ \left( a_1^k + \frac{1}{a_1^k} \right) \left( a_2^k + \frac{1}{a_2^k} \right) \dots \left( a_n^k + \frac{1}{a_n^k} \right) \ge \left( n^k + \frac{1}{n^k} \right)^n. \]

The altitudes of a tetrahedron intersect in a point. Prove that this point, the foot of one of the altitudes, and the points dividing the other three altitudes in the ratio $2 : 1$ (measuring from the vertices) lie on a sphere. [i]D. Tereshin[/i]

If positive integers $p,q,r$ are such that the quadratic equation $px^2-qx+r=0$ has two distinct real roots in the open interval $(0,1)$, find the minimum value of $p$.

Suppose that n numbers $x_1, x_2, . . . , x_n$ are chosen randomly from the set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$. Prove that the probability that $x_1^2+ x_2^2 +\cdots+ x_n^2 \equiv 0 \pmod 5$ is at least $\frac 15.$

A (convex) trapezoid $ABCD$ is good, if it is inscribed in a circle, sides $AB$ and $CD$ are the bases and $CD$ is shorter than $AB$. For a good trapezoid $ABCD$ the following terms are defined: $\bullet$ The parallel to $AD$ passing through $B$ intersects the extension of side $CD$ at point $S$. $\bullet$ The two tangents passing through $S$ on the circumircle of the trapezoid touch the circle at $E$ and $F$, where $E$ lies on the same side of the straight line $CD$ as $A$. Give the simplest possible equivalent condition (expressed in side lengths and / or angles of the trapezoid) so that with a good trapezoid $ABCD$ the two angles $\angle BSE$ and $\angle FSC$ have the same measure.

Two non-coplanar circles in space are tangent at a point and have the same tangents at this point. Show that both circles lie on some sphere.
