Let $ABC$ be a triangle and $D$ the foot of the altitude from $A$. Let $E$ and $F$ lie on a line passing through $D$ such that $AE$ is perpendicular to $BE$, $AF$ is perpendicular to $CF$, and $E$ and $F$ are different from $D$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the segments $BC$ and $EF$, respectively. Prove that $AN$ is perpendicular to $NM$.

Prove that there exist two subsets $D, K$ of $\mathbb{N}^2$ such that for any $4$-element sets $A_1, A_2$ we have $|A_1 \cap A_2|=1$ if and only if there exist $4$-element sets $A_3, A_4, \ldots$, such that $A_i \cap A_j=\emptyset$ for all $(i, j) \in D$ and $|A_i \cap A_j|=2$ for all $(i, j) \in K$.

A point $P$ lies at the center of square $ABCD$. A sequence of points $\{P_n\}$ is determined by $P_0 = P$, and given point $P_i$, point $P_{i+1}$ is obtained by reflecting $P_i$ over one of the four lines $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, $DA$, chosen uniformly at random and independently for each $i$. What is the probability that $P_8 = P$?

Let $A \text{ :}= \mathbb{Q}\setminus \{0,1\}$ denote the set of all rationals other than $0$ and $1$. A function $f:A\to \mathbb{R}$ has the property that for all $x\in A$, \[f(x)+f\left(1-\dfrac{1}{x}\right)=\log |x|.\] Compute the value of $f(2007)$.

There are two kinds of creatures living in the flatland of Pentagonia: the Spires ($S$) and the Bones ($B$). They all have the shape of an isosceles triangle: the Spiers have an apical angle of $36^o$ and the bones an apical angle of $108^o$. Every year on [i]Great Day of Division[/i] (September 11 - the day this Olympiad was held) they divide into pieces: each $S$ into two smaller $S$'s and a $B$; each $B$ in an $S$ and a $B$. Over the course of the year they then grow back to adult proportions. In the distant past, the population originated from one $B$-being. Deaths do not occur. Investigate whether the ratio between the number of Spires and the number of Bones will eventually approach a limit value and if so, calculate that limit value.

Nine points of the plane, located at the vertices of a regular nonagon, are pairwise connected by segments, each of which is colored either red or blue. It is known that in any triangle with vertices at the vertices of the nonagon at least one side is red. Prove that there are four points, any two of which are connected by red lines.

2013 Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament, 15

Tim and Allen are playing a match of [i]tenus[/i]. In a match of [i]tenus[/i], the two players play a series of games, each of which is won by one of the two players. The match ends when one player has won exactly two more games than the other player, at which point the player who has won more games wins the match. In odd-numbered games, Tim wins with probability $3/4$, and in the even-numbered games, Allen wins with probability $3/4$. What is the expected number of games in a match?

The real positive numbers $a_1, a_2,a_3$ are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression, and similarly, $b_1, b_2, b_3$ are distinct real positive numbers and consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression. Is it possible to use three segments of lengths $a_1, a_2, a_3$ as bases, and other three segments of lengths $b_1, b_2, b_3$ as altitudes, to construct three rectangles of equal area ?
