The function $f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ is [b]peruvian[/b] if it satifies the following two properties: $\triangleright f$ is strictly increasing. $\triangleright$ The numbers $a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots$ where $a_1=f(1)$ and $a_{n+1}=f(a_n)$ for every $n\geq 1$, are in arithmetic progression. Determine all peruvian functions $f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that $f(1)=3$.

Aileen plays badminton where she and her opponent stand on opposite sides of a net and attempt to bat a birdie back and forth over the net. A player wins a point if their opponent fails to bat the birdie over the net. When Aileen is the server (the first player to try to hit the birdie over the net), she wins a point with probability $\frac{9}{10}$ . Each time Aileen successfully bats the birdie over the net, her opponent, independent of all previous hits, returns the birdie with probability $\frac{3}{4}$ . Each time Aileen bats the birdie, independent of all previous hits, she returns the birdie with probability $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

A quadratic polynomial $p(x)$ with real coefficients and leading coefficient $1$ is called disrespectful if the equation $p(p(x)) = 0$ is satisfied by exactly three real numbers. Among all the disrespectful quadratic polynomials, there is a unique such polynomial $\tilde{p}(x)$ for which the sum of the roots is maximized. What is $\tilde{p}(1)?$ $\textbf{(A) }\dfrac5{16} \qquad \textbf{(B) }\dfrac12 \qquad \textbf{(C) }\dfrac58 \qquad \textbf{(D) }1 \qquad \textbf{(E) }\dfrac98$

In a country, the time for presidential elections has approached. There are exactly 20 million voters in the country, of which only one percent supports the current president, Miraflores. Naturally, he wants to be elected again, but on the other hand, he wants the elections to seem democratic. Miraflores established the following voting process: all the voters are divided into several equal groups, then each of these groups is again divided into a number of equal groups, and so on. In the smallest groups, a representative is chosen. Then, the chosen electors choose representatives in the second-smallest groups, to vote in an even larger group, and so on. Finally, the representatives of the largest groups choose the president. Miraflores divides voters into groups as he wants and instructs his supporters how to vote. Will he be able to organize the elections in such a way that he will be elected president? (If the votes are equal, the opposition wins.) [i]From the 32nd Moscow Mathematical Olympiad[/i]

There are $100$ diamonds on the pile, $50$ of which are genuine and $50$ false. We invited a peculiar expert who alone can recognize which are which. Every time we show him some three diamonds, he would pick two and tell (truthfully) how many of them are genuine . Decide whether we can surely detect all genuine diamonds regardless how the expert chooses the pairs to be considered.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 12$, $BC = 5$, $AC = 13$. Let$ D$ and $E$ be the feet of the internal and external angle bisectors from $B$, respectively. (The external angle bisector from $B$ bisects the angle between $BC$ and the extension of $AB$.) Let $\omega$ be the circumcircle of $\vartriangle BDE$, extend $AB$ so that it intersects $\omega$ again at $F$. Extend $F C$ to meet $\omega$ again at $X$, and extend $AX$ to meet $\omega$ again at $G$. Find $F G$.
