Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram and $P$ a point in the plane. The line $BP$ intersects the circumcircle of $ABC$ again at $X$ and the line $DP$ intersects the circumcircle of $DAC$ again at $Y$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of the side $AC$. The point $N$ lies on the circumcircle of $PXY$ so that $MN$ is a tangent to this circle. Prove that the segments $MN$ and $AM$ have the same length.

Let $I$ be the incenter of a triangle $ABC$, $D$ be an arbitrary point of segment $AC$, and $A_{1}, A_{2}$ be the common points of the perpendicular from $D$ to the bisector $CI$ with $BC$ and $AI$ respectively.

We examine the following two sequences: The Fibonacci sequence: $F_{0}= 0, F_{1}= 1, F_{n}= F_{n-1}+F_{n-2 }$ for $n \geq 2$; The Lucas sequence: $L_{0}= 2, L_{1}= 1, L_{n}= L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 2$. It is known that for all $n \geq 0$ \[F_{n}=\frac{\alpha^{n}-\beta^{n}}{\sqrt{5}},L_{n}=\alpha^{n}+\beta^{n}, \] where $\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\beta=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$. These formulae can be used without proof. The coordinates of all vertices of a given rectangle are Fibonacci numbers. Suppose that the rectangle is not such that one of its vertices is on the $x$-axis and another on the $y$-axis. Prove that either the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the axes, or make an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the axes.

Let $ ABC$ be a triangle, and let $ X$, $ Y$, $ Z$ be three points on the segments $ BC$, $ CA$, $ AB$, respectively. Denote by $ X^{\prime}$, $ Y^{\prime}$, $ Z^{\prime}$ the reflections of these points $ X$, $ Y$, $ Z$ in the midpoints of the segments $ BC$, $ CA$, $ AB$, respectively. Prove that $ \left\vert XYZ\right\vert \equal{}\left\vert X^{\prime}Y^{\prime}Z^{\prime}\right\vert$.

In triangle $ ABC$, $ AB \equal{} 10$, $ BC \equal{} 14$, and $ CA \equal{} 16$. Let $ D$ be a point in the interior of $ \overline{BC}$. Let $ I_B$ and $ I_C$ denote the incenters of triangles $ ABD$ and $ ACD$, respectively. The circumcircles of triangles $ BI_BD$ and $ CI_CD$ meet at distinct points $ P$ and $ D$.

Find $ a\plus{}b\plus{}c$.

One million [i]bucks [/i] (i.e. one million male deer) are in different cells of a $1000 \times 1000$ grid. The left and right edges of the grid are then glued together, and the top and bottom edges of the grid are glued together, so that the grid forms a doughnut-shaped torus. Furthermore, some of the bucks are [i]honest bucks[/i], who always tell the truth, and the remaining bucks are [i]dishonest bucks[/i], who never tell the truth. Each of the million [i]bucks [/i] claims that “at most one of my neighboring bucks is an [i]honest buck[/i].” A pair of [i]neighboring bucks[/i] is said to be [i]buckaroo[/i] if exactly one of them is an [i]honest buck[/i] . What is the minimum possible number of [i]buckaroo [/i] pairs in the grid? Note: Two [i]bucks [/i] are considered to be [i]neighboring [/i] if their cells $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ satisfy either: $x_1 = x_2$ and $y_1 - y_2 \equiv \pm1$ (mod $1000$), or $x_1 - x_2 \equiv \pm 1$ (mod $1000$) and $y_1 = y_2$.
