Let $H = \{ \lfloor i\sqrt{2}\rfloor : i \in \mathbb Z_{>0}\} = \{1,2,4,5,7,\dots \}$ and let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that there exists a constant $C$ such that, if $A\subseteq \{1,2,\dots, n\}$ satisfies $|A| \ge C\sqrt{n}$, then there exist $a,b\in A$ such that $a-b\in H$. (Here $\mathbb Z_{>0}$ is the set of positive integers, and $\lfloor z\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $z$.)

Point $ I_1$ is the reflection of incentre $ I$ of triangle $ ABC$ across the side $ BC$. The circumcircle of $ BCI_1$ intersects the line $ II_1$ again at point $ P$. It is known that $ P$ lies outside the incircle of the triangle $ ABC$. Two tangents drawn from $ P$ to the latter circle touch it at points $ X$ and $ Y$. Prove that the line $ XY$ contains a medial line of the triangle $ ABC$. [i]Author: L. Emelyanov[/i]

The picture shows a triangle divided into $25$ smaller triangles, numbered $1$ to $25$. Is it possible to place the same numbers in the square cells 5$\times 5$ so that any two numbers written in adjacent triangles were are also written in adjacent cells of the square? (The cells of a square are considered adjacent if they have a common side.) [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/4/3/758fe5531ab3e576ef4712c095b393f8dff397.png[/img]

There are $n$ line segments on the plane, no three intersecting at a point, and each pair intersecting once in their respective interiors. Tony and his $2n - 1$ friends each stand at a distinct endpoint of a line segment. Tony wishes to send Christmas presents to each of his friends as follows: First, he chooses an endpoint of each segment as a “sink”. Then he places the present at the endpoint of the segment he is at. The present moves as follows : $\bullet$ If it is on a line segment, it moves towards the sink. $\bullet$ When it reaches an intersection of two segments, it changes the line segment it travels on and starts moving towards the new sink. If the present reaches an endpoint, the friend on that endpoint can receive their present. Prove that Tony can send presents to exactly $n$ of his $2n - 1$ friends.
