Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $O$, $A$-excenter $I_A$, $B$-excenter $I_B$, and $C$-excenter $I_C$. The incircle of $\Delta ABC$ is tangent to sides $BC, CA,$ and $AB$ at $D, E,$ and $F$ respectively. Lines $I_BE$ and $I_CF$ intersect at $P$. If the line through $O$ perpendicular to $OP$ passes through $I_A$, prove that $\angle A = 60^\circ$. [i]An excenter is the point of concurrency among one internal angle bisector and two external angle bisectors of a triangle.[/i]

In the Euclidean three-dimensional space, we call [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ every partition of $S \setminus \{x,y\}$ into disjoint circles, where $x$ and $y$ are two points of $S$. A folding of $S$ is called [b]linear[/b] if the circles of the [i]folding[/i] are obtained by the intersection of $S$ with a family of parallel planes or with a family of planes containing a straight line $D$ exterior to $S$. Is every [i]folding[/i] of a sphere $S$ [b]linear[/b]?

Let $A$ be the number of ways in which the set $\{ 1, 2, . . . , n\}$ can be partitioned into non-empty subsets. Let $B$ be the number of ways in which the set $\{ 1, 2, . . . , n, n + 1 \}$ can be partitioned into non-empty subsets such that consecutive numbers belong to distinct subsets. Partitions that differ only in the order of the subsets are considered equal. Prove that $A = B$.

Black and white coins are placed on some of the squares of a $418\times 418$ grid. All black coins that are in the same row as any white coin(s) are removed. After that, all white coins that are in the same column as any black coin(s) are removed. If $b$ is the number of black coins remaining and $w$ is the number of remaining white coins, find the remainder when the maximum possible value of $bw$ gets divided by $2007$.

We have $4n + 5$ points on the plane, no three of them are collinear. The points are colored with two colors. Prove that from the points we can form $n$ empty triangles (they have no colored points in their interiors) with pairwise disjoint interiors, such that all points occurring as vertices of the $n$ triangles have the same color.

Consider a circle tangent to sides $AB$ and $AC$ (these sides are not equal) of triangle $ABC$ and the circumscribed circle around it. Let $K$, $M$ and $P$ be the touchpoints of this circle with the sides of the triangle and with the circle circumscribed around it, respectively, and let $L$ be the midpoint of the arc $BC$ (not containing $A$). Prove that the lines $KM$, $PL$ and $BC$ intersect at one point.

A competition involving $n\ge 2$ players was held over $k$ days. In each day, the players received scores of $1,2,3,\ldots , n$ points with no players receiving the same score. At the end of the $k$ days, it was found that each player had exactly $26$ points in total. Determine all pairs $(n,k)$ for which this is possible.

A circle $\omega$ with center $I$ is inscribed into a segment of the disk, formed by an arc and a chord $AB$. Point $M$ is the midpoint of this arc $AB$, and point $N$ is the midpoint of the complementary arc. The tangents from $N$ touch $\omega$ in points $C$ and $D$. The opposite sidelines $AC$ and $BD$ of quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet in point $X$, and the diagonals of $ABCD$ meet in point $Y$. Prove that points $X, Y, I$ and $M$ are collinear.

In a chess tournament, each pair of players play one game. A lost game yields 0 points, a won game yields 1 point and a tied game yields $\frac12$ point. After the tournament, it turns out that in each group of three players, at least one got $1 \frac12$ points in the games against the two others. What is the largest number of players that may have participated?

Josh writes the numbers $1,2,3,\dots,99,100$. He marks out $1$, skips the next number $(2)$, marks out $3$, and continues skipping and marking out the next number to the end of the list. Then he goes back to the start of his list, marks out the first remaining number $(2)$, skips the next number $(4)$, marks out $6$, skips $8$, marks out $10$, and so on to the end. Josh continues in this manner until only one number remains. What is that number? $\textbf{(A)}\ 13 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 32 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 56 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 64 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 96$
