Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with $AB<AC$. Let $D,E,F$ be the feet of the altitudes relatives to the vertices $A,B,C$, respectively. The circumcircle $\Gamma$ of $AEF$ cuts the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $A$ and $M$. Assume that $BM$ is tangent to $\Gamma$. Prove that $M$, $F$ and $D$ are collinear.

Two players play alternately. The first player is given a pair of positive integers $(x_1, y_1)$. Each player must replace the pair $(x_n, y_n)$ that he is given by a pair of non-negative integers $(x_{n+1}, y_{n+1})$ such that $x_{n+1} = min(x_n, y_n)$ and $y_{n+1} = max(x_n, y_n)- k\cdot x_{n+1}$ for some positive integer $k$. The first player to pass on a pair with $y_{n+1} = 0$ wins. Find for which values of $x_1/y_1$ the first player has a winning strategy.

Let $ n \geq 2$ be a positive integer and $ \lambda$ a positive real number. Initially there are $ n$ fleas on a horizontal line, not all at the same point. We define a move as choosing two fleas at some points $ A$ and $ B$, with $ A$ to the left of $ B$, and letting the flea from $ A$ jump over the flea from $ B$ to the point $ C$ so that $ \frac {BC}{AB} \equal{} \lambda$. Determine all values of $ \lambda$ such that, for any point $ M$ on the line and for any initial position of the $ n$ fleas, there exists a sequence of moves that will take them all to the position right of $ M$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer.Consider all $2^n$ binary strings of length $n$.We say two of these strings are neighbors if they differ in exactly 1 digit.We have colored $m$ strings.In each moment,we can color any uncolored string which is neighbor with at least 2 colored strings.After some time,all the strings are colored.Find the minimum possible value of $m$.

For a positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ be the number of (not necessarily distinct) primes in the prime factorization of $k$. For example, $f(1) = 0, f(2) = 1, $ and $f(4) = f(6) = 2$. let $g(n)$ be the number of positive integers $k \leq n$ such that $f(k) \geq f(j)$ for all $j \leq n$. Find $g(1) + g(2) + \ldots + g(100)$.
