As I know, this problem was very short solution by polars, but in olympiad for this solution gives maximum 4 balls (in marking schemes written, that needs to prove all theorems about properties of polars)

The figure below shows a square and four equilateral triangles, with each triangle having a side lying on a side of the square, such that each triangle has side length 2 and the third vertices of the triangles meet at the center of the square. The region inside the square but outside the triangles is shaded. What is the area of the shaded region?

Arnold has plates weighing $5$, $15$, $25$, $35$, or $45$ pounds. He lifts a barbell, which consists of a $45$-pound bar and any number of plates that he has. Vlad looks at Arnold's bar and is impressed to see him bench-press $600$ pounds. Unfortunately, Vlad mistook each plate on Arnold's bar for the plate one size heavier, and Arnold was actually lifting $470$ pounds. How many plates did Arnold have on the bar?

Let f be a function from the set Z of all integers into itself, that satisfies the condition for all $m \in Z$,
$$f(f(m)) =-m. \ \ (1)$$
Then:
(a) $f$ is a mutually unique mapping, i.e. a simple mapping of the set $Z$ onto the set $Z$ ,
(b) for all $m \in Z$ holds that $f(-m) = -f(m)$ ,
(c) $f(m) = 0$ if and only if $m = 0$ .
Prove these statements and construct an example of a mapping f that satisfies condition (1).

Written on a blackboard are $n$ nonnegative integers whose greatest common divisor is $1$. A [i]move[/i] consists of erasing two numbers $x$ and $y$, where $x\ge y$, on the blackboard and replacing them with the numbers $x-y$ and $2y$. Determine for which original $n$-tuples of numbers on the blackboard is it possible to reach a point, after some number of moves, where $n-1$ of the numbers of the blackboard are zeroes.

Let $S$ denote the set of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,2017\}$. For two sets $A$ and $B$ of integers, define $A\circ B$ as the [i]symmetric difference[/i] of $A$ and $B$. (In other words, $A\circ B$ is the set of integers that are an element of exactly one of $A$ and $B$.) Let $N$ be the number of functions $f:S\rightarrow S$ such that $f(A\circ B)=f(A)\circ f(B)$ for all $A,B\in S$. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$.

Consider an isosceles triangle $ABC$ with $AB=AC$, and a circle $\omega$ which is tangent to the sides $AB$ and $AC$ of this triangle and intersects the side $BC$ at the points $K$ and $L$. The segment $AK$ intersects the circle $\omega$ at a point $M$ (apart from $K$). Let $P$ and $Q$ be the reflections of the point $K$ in the points $B$ and $C$, respectively. Show that the circumcircle of triangle $PMQ$ is tangent to the circle $\omega$.

Three friends are trying to meet for lunch at a cafe. Each friend will arrive independently at random between $1\!:\!00$ pm and $2\!:\!00$ pm. Each friend will only wait for $5$ minutes by themselves before leaving. However, if another friend arrives within those $5$ minutes, the pair will wait $15$ minutes from the time the second friend arrives. If the probability that the three friends meet for lunch can be expressed in simplest form as $\tfrac{m}{n}$, what is $m+n$?
