On a circumference of a unit radius, take points $A$ and $B$ such that section $AB$ has length one. $C$ can be any point on the longer arc of the circle between $A$ and $B$. How do we take $C$ to make the perimeter of the triangle $ABC$ as large as possible?

Ukrainian TYM Qualifying - geometry, I.7

Given a natural number $n> 3$. On the plane are considered convex $n$ - gons $F_1$ and $F_2$ such that on each side of $F_1$ lies one vertex of $F_2$ and no two vertices $F_1$ and $F_2$ coincide. For each $n$, determine the limits of the ratio of the areas of the polygons $F_1$ and $F_2$. For each $n$, determine the range of the areas of the polygons $F_1$ and $F_2$, if $F_1$ is a regular $n$-gon. Determine the set of values of this value for other partial cases of the polygon $F_1$.

Two (not necessarily different) numbers are chosen independently and at random from $\{1, 2, 3, \dots, 10\}$. On average, what is the product of the two integers? (Compute the expected product. That is, if you do this over and over again, what will the product of the integers be on average?)

2007 Tournament Of Towns, 3

Michael is at the centre of a circle of radius $100$ metres. Each minute, he will announce the direction in which he will be moving. Catherine can leave it as is, or change it to the opposite direction. Then Michael moves exactly $1$ metre in the direction determined by Catherine. Does Michael have a strategy which guarantees that he can get out of the circle, even though Catherine will try to stop him?

Let $q$ be a real number. Gugu has a napkin with ten distinct real numbers written on it, and he writes the following three lines of real numbers on the blackboard: [list] [*]In the first line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $a-b$, where $a$ and $b$ are two (not necessarily distinct) numbers on his napkin. [*]In the second line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $qab$, where $a$ and $b$ are two (not necessarily distinct) numbers from the first line. [*]In the third line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $a^2+b^2-c^2-d^2$, where $a, b, c, d$ are four (not necessarily distinct) numbers from the first line.
