A mathematics teacher writes a quadratic equation on the blackboard of the form $$x^2+mx \star n = 0$$, with $m$ and $n$ integers. The sign of $n$ is blurred. Even so, Claudia solves it and obtains integer solutions, one of which is $2011$. Find all possible values of $m$ and $n$.

Let $P$ be a set of $n \ge 2$ distinct points in the plane, which does not contain any triplet of aligned points. Let $S$ be the set of all segments whose endpoints are points of $P$. Given two segments $s_1, s_2 \in S$, we write $s_1 \otimes s_2$ if the intersection of $s_1$ with $s_2$ is a point other than the endpoints of $s_1$ and $s_2$. Prove that there exists a segment $s_0 \in S$ such that the set $\{s \in S | s_0 \otimes s\}$ has at least $\frac{1}{15}\dbinom{n-2}{2}$ elements

Prove that the product of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the product of the diameters of the inscribed circle and the circumscribed circle.

Four sages stand around a non-transparent baobab. Each of the sages wears red, blue, or green hat. A sage sees only his two neighbors. Each of them at the same time must make a guess about the color of his hat. If at least one sage guesses correctly, the sages win. They could consult before the game started. How should they act to win?

$6$ indistinguishable coins are given, $4$ are authentic, all of the same weight, and $2$ are false, one is more light than the real ones and the other one, heavier than the real ones. The two false ones together weigh same as two authentic coins. Find two authentic coins using a balance scale twice only by two plates, no weights. Clarification: A two-pan scale only reports if the left pan weighs more, equal or less that right.

Mummy-trolley huts are located on a straight line at points with coordinates $x_1, x_2,...., x_n$. In this village are going to build $3$ stores $A, B$ and $C$, of which will be brought every day to all Moomin-trolls chocolates, bread and water. For the delivery of chocolate, the store takes the distance from the store to the hut, raised to the square; for bread delivery , take the distance from the store to the hut; for water delivery take distance $1$, if the distance is greater than $1$ km, but do not take anything otherwise. a) Where to build each of the stores so that the total cost of all Moomin-trolls for delivery wasthe smallest? b) Where to place the TV tower, if the fee for each Moomin-troll is the maximum distance from the TV tower to the farthest hut from it? c) How will the answer change if the Moomin-troll huts are not located in a straight line, and on the plane?

Initially, a positive integer is written on the blackboard. Every second, one adds to the number on the board the product of all its nonzero digits, writes down the results on the board, and erases the previous number. Prove that there exists a positive integer which will be added inifinitely many times.

Circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ intersect at $P$ and $Q$, and $A$ and $B$ are the tangency points of their common tangent that is closer to $P$ (where $A$ is on $k_1$ and $B$ on $k_2$).

For each point, the second closest marked point must be uniquely determined.

Guess I should stop proposing problems at 2:00 AM, as this can lead to ones like this here: Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be three positive reals. Prove the inequality $\frac{a^2+2b^2}{b+c}+\frac{b^2+2c^2}{c+a}+\frac{c^2+2a^2}{a+b}\geq\frac32\left(a+b+c\right)$.

The people in an infinitely long line are numbered $1,2,3,\dots$. Then, each person says either ``Karl" or ``Lark" independently and at random. Let $S$ be the set of all positive integers $i$ such that people $i$, $i+1$, and $i+2$ all say ``Karl," and define $X = \sum_{i \in S} 2^{-i}$. Then the expected value of $X^2$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $\gcd(m,n)=1$. Compute $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Ankit Bisain[/i]
