2010 Tournament Of Towns, 4

$5000$ movie fans gathered at a convention. Each participant had watched at least one movie. The participants should be split into discussion groups of two kinds. In each group of the fi rst kind, the members would discuss a movie they all watched. In each group of the second kind, each member would tell about the movie that no one else in this group had watched. Prove that the chairman can always split the participants into exactly 100 groups. (A group consisting of one person is allowed; in this case this person submits a report).

Let $ABC$ be a scalene acute triangle with circumcenter $O$. Let $K$ be a point on the side $\overline{BC}$. Define $M$ as the second intersection of $\overleftrightarrow{OK}$ with the circumcircle of $BOC$. Let $L$ be the reflection of $K$ by $\overleftrightarrow{AC}$. Show that the circumcircles of the triangles $LCM$ and $ABC$ are tangent if, and only if, $\overline{AK} \perp \overline{BC}$.

Let $V = \left\{ 1, \dots, 8 \right\}$. How many permutations $\sigma : V \to V$ are automorphisms of some tree? (A $\emph{graph}$ consists of some set of vertices and some edges between pairs of distinct vertices. It is $\emph{connected}$ if every two vertices in it are connected by some path of one or more edges. A $\emph{tree}$ $G$ on $V$ is a connected graph with vertex set $V$ and exactly $|V|-1$ edges, and an $\emph{automorphism}$ of $G$ is a permutation $\sigma : V \to V$ such that vertices $i,j \in V$ are connected by an edge if and only if $\sigma(i)$ and $\sigma(j)$ are.)

Let $A,B,C,D$ be points on the line $d$ in that order and $AB = CD$. Denote $(P)$ as some circle that passes through $A, B$ with its tangent lines at $A, B$ are $a,b$. Denote $(Q)$ as some circle that passes through $C, D$ with its tangent lines at $C, D$ are $c,d$. Suppose that $a$ cuts $c, d$ at $K, L$ respectively and $b$ cuts $c, d$ at $M, N$ respectively. Prove that four points $K, L, M,N$ belong to a same circle $(\omega)$ and the common external tangent lines of circles $(P)$, $(Q)$ meet on $(\omega)$.

Ben has a big blackboard, initially empty, and Francisco has a fair coin. Francisco flips the coin $2013$ times. On the $n^{\text{th}}$ flip (where $n=1,2,\dots,2013$), Ben does the following if the coin flips heads: (i) If the blackboard is empty, Ben writes $n$ on the blackboard. (ii) If the blackboard is not empty, let $m$ denote the largest number on the blackboard. If $m^2+2n^2$ is divisible by $3$, Ben erases $m$ from the blackboard; otherwise, he writes the number $n$. No action is taken when the coin flips tails. If probability that the blackboard is empty after all $2013$ flips is $\frac{2u+1}{2^k(2v+1)}$, where $u$, $v$, and $k$ are nonnegative integers, compute $k$. [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

Let $w$ be a circle and $AB$ a line not intersecting $w$. Given a point $P_{0}$ on $w$, define the sequence $P_{0},P_{1},\ldots $ as follows: $P_{n\plus{}1}$ is the second intersection with $w$ of the line passing through $B$ and the second intersection of the line $AP_{n}$ with $w$.

Given two non-constant polynomials $P(x),Q(x)$ with real coefficients. For a real number $a$, we define $$P_a= \{z \in C : P(z) = a\}, Q_a =\{z \in C : Q(z) = a\}$$ Denote by $K$ the set of real numbers $a$ such that $P_a = Q_a$. Suppose that the set $K$ contains at least two elements, prove that $P(x) = Q(x)$.
