Positive integer $k$ and $k$ colors are given. We will say that a set of $2k$ points on a plane is $colorful$, if it contains exactly 2 points of each color and if lines connecting every two points of the same color are pairwise distinct. Find, in terms of $k$ the least integer $n\geq 2$ such that: in every set of $nk$ points of a plane, no three of which are collinear, consisting of $n$ points of every color there exists a $colorful$ subset.

The Poincare plane is a half-plane bounded by a line $R$. The lines are taken to be (1) the half-lines perpendicular to $R$, and (2) the semicircles with center on $R$. Show that given any line $L$ and any point $P$ not on $L$, there are infinitely many lines through $P$ which do not intersect $L$. Show that if $ ABC$ is a triangle, then the sum of its angles lies in the interval $(0, \pi)$.

A circle is circumscribed around an isosceles triangle $ABC$ with base $BC$. The bisector of the angle $C$ and the bisector of the angles $A$ intersect the circle at the points $E$ and $D$, respectively, and the segment $DE$ intersects the sides $BC$ and $AB$ at the points $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Reconstruct $\vartriangle ABC$ given points $D, P, Q$, if it is known in which half-plane relative to the line $DQ$ lies the vertex $A$. (Maria Rozhkova)

1986 IMO Longlists, 72

A one-person game with two possible outcomes is played as follows: After each play, the player receives either $a$ or $b$ points, where $a$ and $b$ are integers with $0 < b < a < 1986$. The game is played as many times as one wishes and the total score of the game is defined as the sum of points received after successive plays. It is observed that every integer $x \geq 1986$ can be obtained as the total score whereas $1985$ and $663$ cannot. Determine $a$ and $b.$

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let Pushover be a game played by two players, standing squarely facing each other, pushing each other, where the first person to lose balance loses. At the HMPT, $2^{n+1}$ competitors, numbered $1$ through $2^{n+1}$ clockwise, stand in a circle. They are equals in Pushover: whenever two of them face off, each has a $50\%$ probability of victory. The tournament unfolds in $n+1$ rounds. In each rounjd, the referee randomly chooses one of the surviving players, and the players pair off going clockwise, starting from the chosen one. Each pair faces off in Pushover, and the losers leave the circle. What is the probability that players $1$ and $2^n$ face each other in the last round? Express your answer in terms of $n$.

When filled with an cold water using a particular cold water tap, a tank will be full in 14 minutes. In 21 minutes, the full tank could be emptied by opening a hole on the base of the tank. If the cold water tap and the hot water tap are opened simultaneously (allowing hot and cold water fill the tank), and the hole on the base of the tank is opened, the tank will be full in 12.6 minutes. Determine the number of minutes needed to fill the tank with hot water until the tank is full, assuming at first the tank is empty and the hole is closed.

There are three number-transforming machines. We input the pair $(a_1, a_2)$, and the machine returns $(b_1, b_2)$. We denote this transformation as $(a_1, a_2) \to (b_1, b_2)$. (a) The first machine can perform two transformations: - $(a, b) \to (a - 1, b - 1)$ - $(a, b) \to (a + 13, b + 5)$ If the input pair is $(5,2)$, is it possible to obtain the pair $(20,22)$ after a series of transformations? (b) The second machine can perform two transformations: - $(a, b) \to (a - 1, b - 1)$ - $(a, b) \to (2a, 2b)$ If the input pair is $(15,10)$, is it possible to obtain the pair $(27,23)$ after a series of transformations? (c) The third machine can perform two transformations: - $(a, b) \to (a - 2, b + 2)$ - $(a, b) \to (2a - b + 1, 2b - 1 - a)$ If the input pair is $(5,8)$, is it possible to obtain the pair $(13,17)$ after a series of transformations?
