We are given $n$ circles which have the same center. Two lines $D_1,D_2$ are concurent in $P$, a point inside all circles. The rays determined by $P$ on the line $D_i$ meet the circles in points $A_1,A_2,...,A_n$ and $A'_1, A'_2,..., A'_n$ respectively and the rays on $D_2$ meet the circles at points $B_1,B_2, ... ,B_n$ and $B'_2, B'_2 ..., B'_n$ (points with the same indices lie on the same circle). Prove that if the arcs $A_1B_1$ and $A_2B_2$ are equal then the arcs $A_iB_i$ and $A'_iB'_i$ are equal, for all $i = 1,2,... n$.

Let $r>1$ be a rational number. Alice plays a solitaire game on a number line. Initially there is a red bead at $0$ and a blue bead at $1$. In a move, Alice chooses one of the beads and an integer $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. If the chosen bead is at $x$, and the other bead is at $y$, then the bead at $x$ is moved to the point $x'$ satisfying $x'-y=r^k(x-y)$.
Find all $r$ for which Alice can move the red bead to $1$ in at most $2021$ moves.

Let $P$ be an arbitrary point in the interior of triangle $\triangle ABC$. Lines$\overline{BP}$ and $\overline{CP}$
intersect $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{AB}$ at $E$ and $F$, respectively. Let $K$ and $L$ be the midpoints of the segments $BF$ and $CE$, respectively. Let the lines through $L$ and $K$ parallel to $\overline{CF}$ and $\overline{BE}$ intersect $\overline{BC}$ at $S$ and $T$, respectively; moreover, denote by $M$ and $N$ the reflection of $S$ and $T$ over the points $L$ and $K$, respectively. Prove that as $P$ moves in the interior of triangle $\triangle ABC$, line $\overline{MN}$ passes through a fixed point.

Find all the values that can take the last digit of a "perfect" even number. (The natural number $n$ is called "perfect" if the sum of all its natural divisors is equal twice the number itself.For example: the number $6$ is perfect ,because $1+2+3+6=2\cdot6$).

On March $6$, $2002$, the celebrations of the $500$th anniversary of the birth of by mathematician Pedro Nunes. That morning, only ten people entered the Viva bookstore for science. Each of these people bought exactly $3$ different books. Furthermore, any two people bought at least one copy of the same book. The Adventures of Mathematics by Pedro Nunes was one of the books that achieved the highest number of sales in this morning. What is the smallest value this number could have taken?

Show that there were two girls $G$ and $G'$ and two boys $B$ and $B'$, such that each of $B$ and $G$ danced, $B'$ and $G'$ danced, but $B$ and $G'$ did not dance, and $B'$ and $G$ did not dance.

Let $\mathbb{Q}$ be the set of rational numbers. A function $f: \mathbb{Q} \to \mathbb{Q}$ is called aquaesulian if the following property holds: for every $x,y \in \mathbb{Q}$,
\[ f(x+f(y)) = f(x) + y \quad \text{or} \quad f(f(x)+y) = x + f(y). \]
Show that there exists an integer $c$ such that for any aquaesulian function $f$ there are at most $c$ different rational numbers of the form $f(r) + f(-r)$ for some rational number $r$, and find the smallest possible value of $c$.

There are $100$ stones in a pile. A partition of the heap in $k $ piles is called [i]special [/i] if it meets that the number of stones in each pile is different and also for any partition of any of the piles into two new piles it turns out that between the $k + 1$ piles there are two that have the same number of stones (each pile contains at least one stone).
a) Find the maximum number $k$, such that there is a special partition of the $100$ stones into $k $ piles.
b) Find the minimum number $k $, such that there is a special partition of the $100$ stones in $k $ piles.
