Six spheres of radius $1$ are positioned so that their centers are at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side length $2$. The six spheres are internally tangent to a larger sphere whose center is the center of the hexagon. An eighth sphere is externally tangent to the six smaller spheres and internally tangent to the larger sphere. What is the radius of this eighth sphere?

For an upcoming international mathematics contest, the participating countries were asked to choose from nine combinatorics problems. Given how hard it usually is to agree, nobody was surprised that the following happened:
[b]i)[/b] Every country voted for exactly three problems.
[b]ii)[/b] Any two countries voted for different sets of problems.
[b]iii)[/b] Given any three countries, there was a problem none of them voted for.
Find the maximal possible number of participating countries.

Let $K$ be a ring with unit and $M$ the set of $2 \times 2$ matrices constituted with elements of $K$. An addition and a multiplication are defined in $M$ in the usual way between arrays. It is requested to:
a) Check that $M$ is a ring with unit and not commutative with respect to the laws of defined composition.
b) Check that if $K$ is a commutative field, the elements of$ M$ that have inverse they are characterized by the condition $ad - bc \ne 0$.
c) Prove that the subset of $M$ formed by the elements that have inverse is a multiplicative group.

Let $U=\{1, 2,\ldots, 2014\}$. For positive integers $a$, $b$, $c$ we denote by $f(a, b, c)$ the number of ordered 6-tuples of sets $(X_1,X_2,X_3,Y_1,Y_2,Y_3)$ satisfying the following conditions:
(i) $Y_1 \subseteq X_1 \subseteq U$ and $|X_1|=a$;
(ii) $Y_2 \subseteq X_2 \subseteq U\setminus Y_1$ and $|X_2|=b$;
(iii) $Y_3 \subseteq X_3 \subseteq U\setminus (Y_1\cup Y_2)$ and $|X_3|=c$.
Prove that $f(a,b,c)$ does not change when $a$, $b$, $c$ are rearranged.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcircle $\omega$ and circumcenter $O$. The perpendicular from $A$ to $BC$ intersects $BC$ and $\omega$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively. Let $F$ be a point on the segment $AE$, such that $2 \cdot FD = AE$. Let $l$ be the perpendicular to $OF$ through $F$. Prove that $l$, the tangent to $\omega$ at $E$, and the line $BC$ are concurrent.

In each square of the $100\times 100$ square table, type $1, 2$, or $3$. Consider all subtables $m \times n$, where $m = 2$ and $n = 2$. A subtable will be called [i]balanced [/i] if it has in its corner boxes of four identical numbers boxes . For as large a number $k$ prove, that we can always find $k$ balanced subtables, of which no two overlap, i.e. do not have a common box.
