Ten gamblers started playing with the same amount of money. Each turn they cast (threw) five dice. At each stage the gambler who had thrown paid to each of his 9 opponents $\frac{1}{n}$ times the amount which that opponent owned at that moment. They threw and paid one after the other. At the 10th round (i.e. when each gambler has cast the five dice once), the dice showed a total of 12, and after payment it turned out that every player had exactly the same sum as he had at the beginning. Is it possible to determine the total shown by the dice at the nine former rounds ?

For positive integers $n,d$, define $n \% d$ to be the unique value of the positive integer $r < d$ such that $n = qd + r$, for some positive integer $q$. What is the smallest value of $n$ not divisible by $5,7,11,13$ for which $n^2 \% 5 < n^2 \% 7 < n^2 \% 11 < n^2 \% 13$?

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle inscribed in a circle $k$. It is given that the tangent from $A$ to the circle meets the line $BC$ at point $P$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of the line segment $AP$ and $R$ be the second intersection point of the circle $k$ with the line $BM$.

Nine pawns forming a $3$ by $3$ square are placed in the lower left hand corner of an $8$ by $8$ chessboard. Any pawn may jump over another one standing next to it into a free square, i .e. may be reflected symmetrically with respect to a neighb our's centre (jumps may be horizontal , vertical or diagonal) . It is required to rearrange the nine pawns in another corner of the chessboard (in another $3$ by $3$ square) by means of such jumps. Can the pawns be thus re-arranged in the (a) upper left hand corner? (b) upper right hand corner? (J . E . Briskin)

Let $a,b,c\in \mathbb{R}^+$, prove that: $$\frac{2a}{\sqrt{3a+b}}+\frac{2b}{\sqrt{3b+c}}+\frac{2c}{\sqrt{3c+a}}\leq \sqrt{3(a+b+c)}$$

There is a pack of 27 distinct cards, and each card has three values on it. The first value is a shape from $\{\Delta,\square,\odot\}$; the second value is a letter from $\{A,B,C\}$; and the third value is a number from $\{1,2,3\}$. In how many ways can we choose an unordered set of 3 cards from the pack, so that no two of the chosen cards have two matching values. For example we can chose $\{\Delta A1,\Delta B2,\odot C3\}$ But we cannot choose $\{\Delta A1,\square B2,\Delta C1\}$

Five congruent circles have centers at the vertices of a regular pentagon so that each of the circles is tangent to its two neighbors. A sixth circle (shaded in the diagram below) congruent to the other five is placed tangent to two of the five. If this sixth circle is allowed to roll without slipping around the exterior of the figure formed by the other five circles, then it will turn through an angle of $k$ degrees before it returns to its starting position. Find $k$.
