Brazil L2 Finals (OBM) - geometry, 2007.1

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $O$. Let $P$ be the intersection of straight lines $BO$ and $AC$ and $\omega$ be the circumcircle of triangle $AOP$. Suppose that $BO = AP$ and that the measure of the arc $OP$ in $\omega$, that does not contain $A$, is $40^o$. Determine the measure of the angle $\angle OBC$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. An equilateral triangle with side $n$ will be denoted by $T_n$ and is divided in $n^2$ unit equilateral triangles with sides parallel to the initial, forming a grid. We will call "trapezoid" the trapezoid which is formed by three equilateral triangles (one base is equal to one and the other is equal to two). Let also $m$ be a positive integer with $m<n$ and suppose that $T_n$ and $T_m$ can be tiled with "trapezoids". Prove that, if from $T_n$ we remove a $T_m$ with the same orientation, then the rest can be tiled with "trapezoids".

Let $p,q$ be positive integers. For any $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$ define the sets $$P(a)=\bigg\{a_n=a \ + \ n \ \cdot \ \frac{1}{p} : n\in\mathbb{N}\bigg\}\text{ and }Q(b)=\bigg\{b_n=b \ + \ n \ \cdot \ \frac{1}{q} : n\in\mathbb{N}\bigg\}.$$ The [i]distance[/i] between $P(a)$ and $Q(b)$ is the minimum value of $|x-y|$ as $x\in P(a), y\in Q(b)$. Find the maximum value of the distance between $P(a)$ and $Q(b)$ as $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$.

You drop a 7 cm long piece of mechanical pencil lead on the floor. A bully takes the lead and breaks it at a random point into two pieces. A piece of lead is unusable if it is 2 cm or shorter. If the expected value of the number of usable pieces afterwards is $\frac{m}n$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $100m + n$. [i]Proposed by Aaron Lin[/i]

In a sequence of positive integers, a inversion is a pair of positions, where the number in left is greater than the number in right. For example in the sequence $2, 5, 3, 1, 3$ has $5$ inversions{(5,1),(3,1),(5,3),(2,1),(5,3)}. Find the greatest number of inversions in a sequence where the sum of elements is $n$ a) where $n=7$ b) where $n=2019$
