Prove that for all positive integers $n$, all complex roots $r$ of the polynomial \[P(x) = (2n)x^{2n} + (2n-1)x^{2n-1} + \dots + (n+1)x^{n+1} + nx^n + (n+1)x^{n-1} + \dots + (2n-1)x + 2n\] lie on the unit circle (i.e. $|r| = 1$).

Acute triangle $ABC$ with $AB>BC$ is inscribed in circle $\Omega$. Points $D$ and $E$, that lie on $(BC)$ and $(AB)$ are the feet of altitudes from $A$ and $C$ in triangle $ABC$, and $M$ is the midpoint of the segment $DE$. Half-line $(AM$ intersects the circle $\Omega$ for the second time in $N$. Show that the circumcenter of triangle $MDN$ lies on the line $BC$.

Let $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5$ be a regular pentagon inscribed in a circle with area $\tfrac{5+\sqrt{5}}{10}\pi$. For each $i=1,2,\dots,5$, points $B_i$ and $C_i$ lie on ray $\overrightarrow{A_iA_{i+1}}$ such that \[B_iA_i \cdot B_iA_{i+1} = B_iA_{i+2} \quad \text{and} \quad C_iA_i \cdot C_iA_{i+1} = C_iA_{i+2}^2\]where indices are taken modulo 5. The value of $\tfrac{[B_1B_2B_3B_4B_5]}{[C_1C_2C_3C_4C_5]}$ (where $[\mathcal P]$ denotes the area of polygon $\mathcal P$) can be expressed as $\tfrac{a+b\sqrt{5}}{c}$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are integers, and $c > 0$ is as small as possible. Find $100a+10b+c$. [i]Proposed by Robin Park[/i]

[b]4.[/b] Let $f(x)$ be a real- or complex-value integrable function on $(0,1)$ with $\mid f(x) \mid \leq 1 $. Set $ c_k = \int_0^1 f(x) e^{-2 \pi i k x} dx $ and construct the following matrices of order $n$: $ T= (t_{pq})_{p,q=0}^{n-1}, T^{*}= (t_{pq}^{*})_{p,q =0}^{n-1} $ where $t_{pq}= c_{q-p}, t^{*}= \overline {c_{p-q}}$ . Further, consider the following hyper-matrix of order $m$: $ S= \begin{bmatrix} E & T & T^2 & \dots & T^{m-2} & T^{m-1} \\ T^{*} & E & T & \dots & T^{m-3} & T^{m-2} \\ T^{*2} & T^{*} & E & \dots & T^{m-3} & T^{m-2} \\ \dots & \dots & \dots & \dots & \dots & \dots \\ T^{*m-1} & T^{*m-2} & T^{*m-3} & \dots & T^{*} & E \end{bmatrix} $ ($S$ is a matrix of order $mn$ in the ordinary sense; E denotes the unit matrix of order $n$). Show that for any pair $(m , n) $ of positive integers, $S$ has only non-negative real eigenvalues. [b](R. 19)[/b]

We will say that a natural number is [i]acceptable[/i] if it has at most $9$ distinct prime divisors. There is a stack of $100!=1\times2\times\cdots\times100$ stones. A [i]legal move[/i] consists in removing $k$ stones from the stack, where $k$ is an acceptable number. Two players, Lucas and Nicolas, take turns making legal moves; Lucas starts the game. The one who removes the last stone wins. Determine which of the players has a winning strategy and describe this strategy.
