We say that a polygon $P$ is inscribed in another polygon $Q$ when all the vertices of $P$ belong to the perimeter of $Q$. We also say in this case that $Q$ is circumscribed to $P$. Given a triangle $T$, let $\ell$ be the largest side of a square inscribed in $T$ and $L$ is the shortest side of a square circumscribed to $T$ . Find the smallest possible value of the ratio $L/\ell$ .

Given are three pairwise externally tangent circles $ K_{1}$ , $ K_{2}$ and $ K_{3}$. denote by $ P_{1}$ tangent point of $ K_{2}$ and $ K_{3}$ and by $ P_{2}$ tangent point of $ K_{1}$ and $ K_{3}$. Let $ AB$ ($ A$ and $ B$ are different from tangency points) be a diameter of circle $ K_{3}$. Line $ AP_{2}$ intersects circle $ K_{1}$ (for second time) at point $ X$ and line $ BP_{1}$ intersects circle $ K_{2}$(for second time) at $ Y$. If $ Z$ is intersection point of lines $ AP_{1}$ and $ BP_{2}$ prove that points $ X$, $ Y$ and $ Z$ are collinear.

Players $A$ and $B$ play a game with $N \geq 2012$ coins and $2012$ boxes arranged around a circle. Initially $A$ distributes the coins among the boxes so that there is at least $1$ coin in each box. Then the two of them make moves in the order $B,A,B,A,\ldots $ by the following rules: [b](a)[/b] On every move of his $B$ passes $1$ coin from every box to an adjacent box. [b](b)[/b] On every move of hers $A$ chooses several coins that were [i]not[/i] involved in $B$'s previous move and are in different boxes. She passes every coin to an adjacent box. Player $A$'s goal is to ensure at least $1$ coin in each box after every move of hers, regardless of how $B$ plays and how many moves are made. Find the least $N$ that enables her to succeed.

2008 Saint Petersburg Mathematical Olympiad, 4

There are $100$ numbers on circle, and no one number is divided by other. In same time for all numbers we make next operation: If $(a,b)$ are two neighbors ($a$ is left neighbor) , then we write between $a,b$ number $\frac{a}{(a,b)}$ and erase $a,b$ This operation was repeated some times. What maximum number of $1$ we can receive ? Example: If we have circle with $3$ numbers $4,5,6$ then after operation we receive circle with numbers $\frac{4}{(4,5)}=4,\frac{5}{(5,6)}=5, \frac{6}{(6,4)}=3$.

Matilda drew $12$ quadrilaterals. The first quadrilateral is an rectangle of integer sides and $7$ times more width than long. Every time she drew a quadrilateral she joined the midpoints of each pair of consecutive sides with a segment. It´s is known that the last quadrilateral Matilda drew was the first with area less than $1$. What is the maximum area possible for the first quadrilateral? [asy]size(200); pair A, B, C, D, M, N, P, Q; real base = 7; real altura = 1; A = (0, 0); B = (base, 0); C = (base, altura); D = (0, altura); M = (0.5*base, 0*altura); N = (0.5*base, 1*altura); P = (base, 0.5*altura); Q = (0, 0.5*altura); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); // Rectángulo draw(M--P--N--Q--cycle); // Paralelogramo dot(M); dot(N); dot(P); dot(Q); [/asy] $\textbf{Note:}$ The above figure illustrates the first two quadrilaterals that Matilda drew.
