Let $\alpha>1$ and consider the function $f(x)=x^{\alpha}$ for $x \ge 0$. For $t>0$, define $M(t)$ as the largest area that a triangle with vertices $(0, 0), (s, f(s)), (t, f(t))$ could reach, for $s \in (0,t)$. Let $A(t)$ be the area of the region bounded by the segment with endpoints $(0, 0)$ ,$(t, f(t))$ and the graph of $y =f(x)$.
(a) Show that $A(t)/M(t)$ does not depend on $t$. We denote this value by $c(\alpha)$. Find $c(\alpha)$.
(b) Determine the range of values of $c(\alpha)$ when $\alpha$ varies in the interval $(1, +\infty)$.

A fraction with $1010$ squares in the numerator and $1011$ squares in the denominator serves as a game board for a two player game. $$\frac{\square + \square +...+ \square}{\square + \square +...+ \square+ \square}$$ Players take turns in moves. In each turn, the player chooses one of the numbers $1, 2,. . . , 2021$ and inserts it in any empty field. Each number can only be used once. The starting player wins if the value of the fraction after all the fields is filled differs from number $1$ by less than $10^{-6}$. Otherwise, the other player wins. Decide which of the players has a winning strategy.

The line $BXB'$ is parallel to the line of centers, where $B$ is a point on $S, B'$ is a point on $S'$ and $X$ lies on both spheres. $A$ is another point on $S$, and $A'$ is another point on S' such that the line $AA'$ has a point on both spheres. Show that the segments $AB$ and $A'B'$ have equal projections on the line $AA'$.

The vertices of a right triangle $ABC$ inscribed in a circle divide the circumference into three arcs. The right angle is at $A$, so that the opposite arc $BC$ is a semicircle while arc $BC$ and arc $AC$ are supplementary. To each of three arcs, we draw a tangent such that its point of tangency is the mid point of that portion of the tangent intercepted by the extended lines $AB,AC$. More precisely, the point $D$ on arc $BC$ is the midpoint of the segment joining the points $D'$ and $D''$ where tangent at $D$ intersects the extended lines $AB,AC$. Similarly for $E$ on arc $AC$ and $F$ on arc $AB$. Prove that triangle $DEF$ is equilateral.
