$ABC$ is a triangle with orthocenter $H$. The median from $A$ meets the circumcircle again at $A_1$, and $A_2$ is the reflection of $A_1$ in the midpoint of $BC$. The points$ B_2$ and $C_2$ are defined similarly. Show that $H$, $A_2$, $B_2$ and $C_2$ lie on a circle.

There are integers $a$, $b$, and $c$, each greater than 1, such that $$\sqrt[a]{N \sqrt[b]{N \sqrt[c]{N}}} = \sqrt[36]{N^{25}}$$ for all $N > 1$. What is $b$? $\textbf{(A)}\ 2\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 5\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 6$

Initially, $10$ ones are written on a blackboard. Grisha and Gleb are playing game, by taking turns; Grisha goes first. On one move Grisha squares some $5$ numbers on the board. On his move, Gleb picks a few (perhaps none) numbers on the board and increases each of them by $1$. If in $10,000$ moves on the board a number divisible by $2023$ appears, Gleb wins, otherwise Grisha wins. Which of the players has a winning strategy?

Write the equation of the line tangent to the graph of the function $y = x^4-x^2 + x$ to at least at two points.

Let us define a $\textit{triangle equivalence}$ a group of numbers that can be arranged as shown $a+b=c$ $d+e+f=g+h$ $i+j+k+l=m+n+o$ and so on... Where at the $j$-th row, the left hand side has $j+1$ terms and the right hand side has $j$ terms. Now, we are given the first $N^2$ positive integers, where $N$ is a positive integer. Suppose we eliminate any one number that has the same parity with $N$. Prove that the remaining $N^2-1$ numbers can be formed into a $\textit{triangle equivalence}$. For example, if $10$ is eliminated from the first $16$ numbers, the remaining numbers can be arranged into a $\textit{triangle equivalence}$ as shown. $1+3=4$ $2+5+8=6+9$ $7+11+12+14=13+15+16$

A point is chosen at random within the square in the coordinate plane whose vertices are $(0, 0),$ $(2020, 0),$ $(2020, 2020),$ and $(0, 2020)$. The probability that the point is within $d$ units of a lattice point is $\tfrac{1}{2}$. (A point $(x, y)$ is a lattice point if $x$ and $y$ are both integers.)

Four runners are preparing to begin a $1$-mile race from the same starting line. When the race starts, runners Alice, Bob, and Charlie all travel at constant speeds of $8$ mph, $4$ mph, and $2$ mph, respectively. The fourth runner, Dave, is initially half as slow as Charlie, but Dave has a superpower where he suddenly doubles his running speed every time a runner finishes the race. How many hours does it take for Dave to finish the race?

Prove that the affixes of three pairwise distinct complex numbers $ z_0,z_1,z_2 $ represent an isosceles triangle with right angle at $ z_0 $ if and only if $ \left( z_1-z_0 \right)^2 =-\left( z_2-z_0 \right)^2. $

There're $n$ students whose names are different from each other. Everyone has $n-1$ envelopes initially with the others' name and address written on them respectively. Everyone also has at least one greeting card with her name signed on it. Everyday precisely a student encloses a greeting card (which can be the one received before) with an envelope (the name on the card and the name on envelope cannot be the same) and post it to the appointed student by a same day delivery. Prove that when no one can post the greeting cards in this way any more: (i) Everyone still has at least one card; (ii) If there exist $k$ students $p_1, p_2, \cdots, p_k$ so that $p_i$ never post a card to $p_{i+1}$, where $i = 1,2, \cdots, k$ and $p_{k+1} = p_1$, then these $k$ students have prepared the same number of greeting cards initially.
