Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $O$ and circumcircle $\omega$. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ to $\overline{BC}$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be points on the circumcircles of triangles $AOB$ and $AOC$, respectively, such that $A$, $P$, and $Q$ are collinear. Prove that if the circumcircle of triangle $OPQ$ is tangent to $\omega$ at $T$, then $\angle BTD=\angle CAP$. [i]Tiger Zhang[/i]

Ms. Raina's math class has 6 students, including the troublemakers Andy and Harry. For a group project, Ms. Raina randomly divides the students into three groups containing 1, 2, and 3 people. The probability that Andy and Harry unfortunately end up in the same group can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of positive integers. Fix a function $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ and for any $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ define $$\Delta(m,n)=\underbrace{f(f(\ldots f}_{f(n)\text{ times}}(m)\ldots))-\underbrace{f(f(\ldots f}_{f(m)\text{ times}}(n)\ldots)).$$ Suppose $\Delta(m,n) \neq 0$ for any distinct $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$. Show that $\Delta$ is unbounded, meaning that for any constant $C$ there exists $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ with $\left|\Delta(m,n)\right| > C$.

Point $ O $ is the center of the circumscribed circle of an acute triangle $ Abc $. A certain circle passes through the points $ B $ and $ C $ and intersects sides $ AB $ and $ AC $ of a triangle. On its arc lying inside the triangle, points $ D $ and $ E $ are chosen so that the segments $ BD $ and $ CE $ pass through the point $ O $. Perpendicular $ DD_1 $ to $ AB $ side and perpendicular $ EE_1 $ to $ AC $ side intersect at $ M $. Prove that the points $ A $, $ M $ and $ O $ lie on the same straight line.
