In a sports competition in which several tests are carried out, only the three athletes $A, B,
C$. In each event, the winner receives $x$ points, the second receives $y$ points, and the third receives $z$ points. There are no ties, and the numbers $x, y, z$ are distinct positive integers with $x$ greater than $y$, and $y$ greater than $z$.
At the end of the competition it turns out that $A$ has accumulated $20$ points, $B$ has accumulated $10$ points and $C$ has accumulated $9$ points. We know that athlete $A$ was second in the 100-meter event. Determine which of the three athletes he was second in the jumping event.

Suppose $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ is a sequence. The partial sums $\{s_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ are defined by
$$s_n=\sum_{i=1}^na_i.$$
The Cesàro sums are then defined as $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$, where
$$A_n=\frac{1}{n}\cdot\sum_{i=1}^ns_i.$$
Let $a_n=(-1)^{n+1}$. What is the limit of the Cesàro sums of $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ as $n$ goes to infinity?

Let $m$ be a fixed positive integer. The infinite sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ is defined in the following way: $a_1$ is a positive integer, and for every integer $n\geq 1$ we have
$$a_{n+1} = \begin{cases}a_n^2+2^m & \text{if } a_n< 2^m \\ a_n/2 &\text{if } a_n\geq 2^m\end{cases}$$
For each $m$, determine all possible values of $a_1$ such that every term in the sequence is an integer.

A graph $G$ with $n$ vertex is called [i]good [/i] if every vertex could be labelled with distinct positive integers which are less than or equal $\lfloor \frac{n^2}{4} \rfloor$ such that there exists a set of nonnegative integers $D$ with the following property: there exists an edge between $2$ vertices if and only if the difference of their labels is in $D$.
Show that there exists a positive integer $N$ such that for every $n \ge N$, there exist a not-good graph with $n$ vertices.

2011 Mongolia Team Selection Test, 3
We are given an acute triangle $ABC$. Let $(w,I)$ be the inscribed circle of $ABC$, $(\Omega,O)$ be the circumscribed circle of $ABC$, and $A_0$ be the midpoint of altitude $AH$. $w$ touches $BC$ at point $D$. $A_0 D$ and $w$ intersect at point $P$, and the perpendicular from $I$ to $A_0 D$ intersects $BC$ at the point $M$. $MR$ and $MS$ lines touch $\Omega$ at $R$ and $S$ respectively [note: I am not entirely sure of what is meant by this, but I am pretty sure it means draw the tangents to $\Omega$ from $M$]. Prove that the points $R,P,D,S$ are concyclic.

The largest term in the binomial expansion of $(1 + \tfrac{1}{2})^{31}$ is of the form $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is the value of $b$? As an example of a binomial expansion, the binomial expansion of an expression of the form $(x + y)^3$ is the sum of four terms
\[
x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3.

In the sequence $ 2001, 2002, 2003, \ldots$, each term after the third is found by subtracting the previous term from the sum of the two terms that precede that term. For example, the fourth term is $ 2001 \plus{} 2002 \minus{} 2003 \equal{} 2000$. What is the $ 2004^\text{th}$ term in this sequence?
$ \textbf{(A)} \minus{} \! 2004 \qquad \textbf{(B)} \minus{} \! 2 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 0 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 4003 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 6007$

Luis' friends decided to play a prank on him in his geometry homework. They erased most of a triangle and, instead, drew an equivalent triangle with the sum of its three side lengths. Help Luis complete his homework by reconstructing the original triangle using only a straightedge and compass. Since Luis' method involves measurements, prove that his method results in a triangle longer than the sum of its three sides.

In a circle four distinct points are fixed and each of them is assigned with a real number. Let those numbers be $x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4$ such that $x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4>0$. Now we define a game with these numbers: If one of them, i.e. $x_i$, is a negative number, the player makes a move by adding the number $x_i$ to his neighbors and changes the sign of the chosen number. The game ends when all the numbers are negative. Prove that this game ends in a finite number of steps.

Alice, Bob, and Chris each roll $4$ dice. Each only knows the result of their own roll. Alice claims that there are at least $5$ multiples of $3$ among the dice rolled. Bob has $1$ six and no threes, and knows that Alice wouldn’t claim such a thing unless he had at least $2$ multiples of $3$. Bob can call Alice a liar, or claim that there are at least $6$ multiples of $3$, but Chris says that he will immediately call Bob a liar if he makes this claim. Bob wins if he calls Alice a liar and there aren't at least $5$ multiples of $3$, or if he claims there are at least $6$ multiples of $3$, and there are. What is the probability that Bob loses no matter what he does?
