In triangle $ABC$, we draw the circle with center $A$ and radius $AB$. This circle intersects $AC$ at two points. Also we draw the circle with center $A$ and radius $AC$ and this circle intersects $AB$ at two points. Denote these four points by $A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4$. Find the points $B_1, B_2, B_3, B_4$ and $C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4$ similarly. Suppose that these $12$ points lie on two circles. Prove that the triangle $ABC$ is isosceles.

In a cardboard box are a large number of loose socks. Some of the socks are red, the others are blue. It is stated that the total number of socks does not exceed $1993$. Furthermore, it is stated that the probability of pulling two socks from the same color when two socks are randomly drawn from the box is $1/2$. What is according to the available information, the largest number of red socks that can exist in the box?

A straight line connects City A at $(0, 0)$ to City B, 300 meters away at $(300, 0)$. At time $t=0$, a bullet train instantaneously sets out from City A to City B while another bullet train simultaneously leaves from City B to City A going on the same train track. Both trains are traveling at a constant speed of $50$ meters/second. Also, at $t=0$, a super y stationed at $(150, 0)$ and restricted to move only on the train tracks travels towards City B. The y always travels at 60 meters/second, and any time it hits a train, it instantaneously reverses its direction and travels at the same speed. At the moment the trains collide, what is the total distance that the y will have traveled? Assume each train is a point and that the trains travel at their same respective velocities before and after collisions with the y

A line $\ell$ intersects the lines $AI$, $BI$, and $CI$ at points $D$, $E$, and $F$, respectively, distinct from the points $A$, $B$, $C$, and $I$.

A ladder style tournament is held with $2016$ participants. The players begin seeded $1,2,\cdots 2016$. Each round, the lowest remaining seeded player plays the second lowest remaining seeded player, and the loser of the game gets eliminated from the tournament. After $2015$ rounds, one player remains who wins the tournament. If each player has probability of $\tfrac{1}{2}$ to win any game, then the probability that the winner of the tournament began with an even seed can be expressed has $\tfrac{p}{q}$ for coprime positive integers $p$ and $q$. Find the remainder when $p$ is divided by $1000$. [i]Proposed by Nathan Ramesh
