1965 All Russian Mathematical Olympiad, 066

The tourist has come to the Moscow by train. All-day-long he wandered randomly through the streets. Than he had a supper in the cafe on the square and decided to return to the station only through the streets that he has passed an odd number of times. Prove that he is always able to do that.

$\omega$ is the circumcirle of an acute triangle $ABC$. The tangent line passing through $A$ intersects the tangent lines passing through points $B$ and $C$ at points $K$ and $L$, respectively. The line parallel to $AB$ through $K$ and the line parallel to $AC$ through $L$ intersect at point $P$. Prove that $BP=CP$. (Author: P. Kozhevnikov)

Mr. DoBa has a bag of markers. There are 2 blue, 3 red, 4 green, and 5 yellow markers. Mr. DoBa randomly takes out two markers from the bag. The probability that these two markers are different colors can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Compute $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Raina Yang[/i]

Let $V$ be the set of vertices of a regular $21$-gon. Given a non-empty subset $U$ of $V$ , let $m(U)$ be the number of distinct lengths that occur between two distinct vertices in $U$. What is the maximum value of $\frac{m(U)}{|U|}$ as $U$ varies over all non-empty subsets of $V$ ?

The points $A, B, C, D$ are marked on the straight line in this order. Circle $\omega_1$ passes through points $A$ and $C$, and the circle $\omega_2$ passes through points $B$ and $D$. On the circle $\omega_2$, the point $E$ is marked so that $AB = BE$, and on the circle $\omega_1$, the point $F$ is marked so that $CD = CF$. The line $AE$ intersects the circle $\omega_2$ a second time at point $X$, and the line $DF$ intersects the circle $\omega_1$ at point $Y$. Prove that the $XY$ lines and $AD$ is perpendicular.

The following sequence lists all the positive rational numbers that do not exceed $\frac12$ by first listing the fraction with denominator 2, followed by the one with denominator 3, followed by the two fractions with denominator 4 in increasing order, and so forth so that the sequence is \[ \frac12,\frac13,\frac14,\frac24,\frac15,\frac25,\frac16,\frac26,\frac36,\frac17,\frac27,\frac37,\cdots. \] Let $m$ and $n$ be relatively prime positive integers so that the $2012^{\text{th}}$ fraction in the list is equal to $\frac{m}{n}$. Find $m+n$.

Let $a + bi$ and $c + di$ be two roots of the equation $x^n = 1990$, where $n \geq 3$ is an integer and $a,b,c,d \in \mathbb R$. Under the linear transformation $f =\left(\begin{array}{cc}a&c\\b &d\end{array}\right)$, we have $(2, 1) \to (1, 2)$. Denote $r$ to be the distance from the image of $(2, 2)$ to the origin. Find the range of $r.$

$120$ pirates distribute $119$ gold pieces among themselves. Then the captain checks if any pirate has $15$ or more gold pieces. If he finds the first one, he must give all his gold pieces to other pirates, whereby he may not give more than one gold piece to anyone. This control is repeated as long as there is any pirate with $15$ or more gold pieces. Does this process end after a lot of checks?

For every pair of reals $0 < a < b < 1$, we define sequences $\{x_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ and $\{y_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ by $x_0 = 0$, $y_0 = 1$, and for each integer $n \ge 1$: \begin{align*} x_n & = (1 - a) x_{n - 1} + a y_{n - 1}, \\ y_n & = (1 - b) x_{n - 1} + b y_{n - 1}. \end{align*} The [i]supermean[/i] of $a$ and $b$ is the limit of $\{x_n\}$ as $n$ approaches infinity. Over all pairs of real numbers $(p, q)$ satisfying $\left (p - \textstyle\frac{1}{2} \right)^2 + \left (q - \textstyle\frac{1}{2} \right)^2 \le \left(\textstyle\frac{1}{10}\right)^2$, the minimum possible value of the supermean of $p$ and $q$ can be expressed as $\textstyle\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Compute $100m + n$. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]

The vertices of a convex $2550$-gon are colored black and white as follows: black, white, two black, two white, three black, three white, ..., 50 black, 50 white. Dania divides the polygon into quadrilaterals with diagonals that have no common points. Prove that there exists a quadrilateral among these, in which two adjacent vertices are black and the other two are white. [i]D. Rudenko[/i]
