Let $P$ be the set of points in the Euclidean plane, and let $L$ be the set of lines in the same plane. Does there exist an one-to-one mapping (injective function) $f : L \to P$ such that for each $\ell \in L$ we have $f(\ell) \in \ell$?

Point $P$ lies outside a circle, and two rays are drawn from $P$ that intersect the circle as shown. One ray intersects the circle at points $A$ and $B$ while the other ray intersects the circle at $M$ and $N$. $AN$ and $MB$ intersect at $X$. Given that $\angle AXB$ measures $127^{\circ}$ and the minor arc $AM$ measures $14^{\circ}$, compute the measure of the angle at $P$.

In the acute triangle $ABC$ the orthocenter $H$ and the center of the circumscribed circle $O$ were noted. The line $AO$ intersects the side $BC$ at the point $D$. A perpendicular drawn to the side $BC$ at the point $D$ intersects the heights from the vertices $B$ and $C$ of the triangle $ABC$ at the points $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Prove that the center of the circumscribed circle $\Delta HXY$ is equidistant from the points $B$ and $C$. (Danilo Hilko)

A $ 9\times9\times9$ cube is composed of twenty-seven $ 3\times3\times3$ cubes. The big cube is 'tunneled' as follows: First, the six $ 3\times3\times3$ cubes which make up the center of each face as well as the center of $ 3\times3\times3$ cube are removed. Second, each of the twenty remaining $ 3\times3\times3$ cubes is diminished in the same way. That is, the central facial unit cubes as well as each center cube are removed.

Three positive integers $x$ and $y$ are written on the blackboard. Mary records in her notebook the product of any two of them and reduces the third number on the blackboard by $1$. With the new trio of numbers, she repeats the process, and continues until one of the numbers on the blackboard becomes zero. What will be the sum of the numbers in Mary's notebook at that point?

2001 Saint Petersburg Mathematical Olympiad, 10.2

The computer "Intel stump-V" can do only one operation with a number: add 1 to it, then rearrange all the zeros in the decimal representation to the end and rearrenge the left digits in any order. (For example from 1004 you could get 1500 or 5100). The number $12345$ was written on the computer and after performing 400 operations, the number 100000 appeared on the screen. How many times has a number with the last digit 0 appeared on the screen?

2019 All-Russian Olympiad, 4

10000 children came to a camp; every of them is friend of exactly eleven other children in the camp (friendship is mutual). Every child wears T-shirt of one of seven rainbow's colours; every two friends' colours are different. Leaders demanded that some children (at least one) wear T-shirts of other colours (from those seven colours). Survey pointed that 100 children didn't want to change their colours [translator's comment: it means that any of these 100 children (and only them) can't change his (her) colour such that still every two friends' colours will be different]. Prove that some of other children can change colours of their T-shirts such that as before every two friends' colours will be different.

Cozy the Cat and Dash the Dog are going up a staircase with a certain number of steps. However, instead of walking up the steps one at a time, both Cozy and Dash jump. Cozy goes two steps up with each jump (though if necessary, he will just jump the last step). Dash goes five steps up with each jump (though if necessary, he will just jump the last steps if there are fewer than 5 steps left). Suppose the Dash takes 19 fewer jumps than Cozy to reach the top of the staircase. Let $s$ denote the sum of all possible numbers of steps this staircase can have. What is the sum of the digits of $s$? $\textbf{(A) } 9 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 11 \qquad\textbf{(C) } 12 \qquad\textbf{(D) } 13 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 15 $
