Tanya has cut out a triangle from checkered paper as shown in the picture. The lines of the grid have faded. Can Tanya restore them without any instruments only folding the triangle (she remembers the triangle sidelengths)? (T. Kazitsyna)

An ant crawls on the outer surface of the box in a shape of rectangular parallelepiped. From ant’s point of view, the distance between two points on a surface is defined by the length of the shortest path ant need to crawl to reach one point from the other. Is it true that if ant is at vertex then from ant’s point of view the opposite vertex be the most distant point on the surface?

[b](a)[/b] What is the maximal number of acute angles in a convex polygon? [b](b)[/b] Consider $m$ points in the interior of a convex $n$-gon. The $n$-gon is partitioned into triangles whose vertices are among the $n + m$ given points (the vertices of the $n$-gon and the given points). Each of the $m$ points in the interior is a vertex of at least one triangle. Find the number of triangles obtained.

Given a triangle $ABC$, let $D$ be the intersection of the line through $A$ perpendicular to $AB$, and the line through $B$ perpendicular to $BC$. Let $P$ be a point inside the triangle. Show that $DAPB$ is cyclic if and only if $\angle BAP = \angle CBP$.

Let $S$ be a finite, nonempty set of real numbers such that the distance between any two distinct points in $S$ is an element of $S$. In other words, $|x-y|$ is in $S$ whenever $x \ne y$ and $x$ and $y$ are both in $S$. Prove that the elements of $S$ may be arranged in an arithmetic progression. This means that there are numbers $a$ and $d$ such that $S = \{a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, ..., a+kd, ...\}$.

For any point $(x, y)$ with $0\le x < 1$ and $0 \le y < 1$, Jenny can perform a shuffle on that point, which takes the point to $(\{3x + y\} ,\{x + 2y\})$ where $\{a\}$ denotes the fractional or decimal part of $a$ (so for example,$\{\pi\} = \pi - 3 = 0.1415...$). How many points $p$ are there such that after $3$ shuffles on $p$, $p$ ends up in its original position?

For each natural number $n$ we denote $a_n$ as the greatest perfect square less than or equal to $n$ and $b_n$ as the least perfect square greater than $n$. For example $a_9=3^2$, $b_9=4^2$ and $a_{20}=4^2$, $b_{20}=5^2$. Calculate: $$\frac{1}{a_1b_1}+\frac{1}{a_2b_2}+\frac{1}{a_3b_3}+\ldots +\frac{1}{a_{600}b_{600}}$$

Assume $T$ is a point on a line $AK$ such that $TK=KA$. Prove that the circle with center $T$ and radius $TK$ is tangent to $BC$. (Mykhailo Sydorenko)

Suppose that $$\frac{(\sqrt2)^5 + 1}{\sqrt2 + 1} \times \frac{2^5 + 1}{2 + 1} \times \frac{4^5 + 1}{4 + 1} \times \frac{16^5 + 1}{16 + 1} =\frac{m}{7 + 3\sqrt2}$$ for some integer $m$. How many $0$’s are in the binary representation of $m$? (For example, the number $20 = 10100_2$ has three $0$’s in its binary representation.)

Determine the smallest positive constant $k$ such that no matter what $3$ lattice points we choose the following inequality holds: $$ L_{\max} - L_{\min} \ge \frac{1}{\sqrt{k} \cdot L_{max}} $$ where $L_{\max}$, $L_{\min}$ is the maximal and minimal distance between chosen points.

After Jennifer walked $r$ percent of the way from her home to the store, she turned around and walked home, got on her bicycle, and bicycled to the store and back home. Jennifer bicycles two and a half times faster than she walks. Find the largest value of $r$ so that returning home for her bicycle was not slower than her walking all the way to and from the store without her bicycle.

Ali wants to move from point $A$ to point $B$. He cannot walk inside the black areas but he is free to move in any direction inside the white areas (not only the grid lines but the whole plane). Help Ali to find the shortest path between $A$ and $B$. Only draw the path and write its length.

Numbers $1$ through $2014$ are written on a board. A valid operation is to erase two numbers $a$ and $b$ on the board and replace them with the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of $a$ and $b$. Prove that, no matter how many operations are made, the sum of all the numbers that remain on the board is always larger than $2014$ $\times$ $\sqrt[2014]{2014!}$

A unit equilateral triangle is given. Divide each side into three equal parts. Remove the equilateral triangles whose bases are middle one-third segments. Now we have a new polygon. Remove the equilateral triangles whose bases are middle one-third segments of the sides of the polygon.
