On the plane is given the acute triangle $ ABC $. Let $ A_1 $ and $ B_1 $ be the feet of the altitudes of $ A $ and $ B $ drawn from those vertices, respectively. Tangents at points $ A_1 $ and $ B_1 $ drawn to the circumscribed circle of the triangle $ CA_1B_1 $ intersect at $ M $. Prove that the circles circumscribed around the triangles $ AMB_1 $, $ BMA_1 $ and $ CA_1B_1 $ have a common point.

We have four registers, $R_1,R_2,R_3,R_4$, such that $R_i$ initially contains the number $i$ for $1\le i\le4$. We are allowed two operations: [list] [*] Simultaneously swap the contents of $R_1$ and $R_3$ as well as $R_2$ and $R_4$. [*] Simultaneously transfer the contents of $R_2$ to $R_3$, the contents of $R_3$ to $R_4$, and the contents of $R_4$ to $R_2$. (For example if we do this once then $(R_1,R_2,R_3,R_4)=(1,4,2,3)$.) [/list] Using these two operations as many times as desired and in whatever order, what is the total number of possible outcomes?

Let $a , b , c$ positive integers, coprime. For each whole number $n \ge 1$, we denote by $s ( n )$ the number of elements in the set $\{ a , b , c \}$ that divide $n$. We consider $k_1< k_2< k_3<...$ .the sequence of all positive integers that are divisible by some element of $\{ a , b , c \}$. Finally we define the characteristic sequence of $( a , b , c )$ like the succession $ s ( k_1) , s ( k_2) , s ( k_3) , .... $ . Prove that if the characteristic sequences of $( a , b , c )$ and $( a', b', c')$ are equal, then $a = a', b = b'$ and $c=c'$

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have pairwise different lengths. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of $ABCD$. The internal angle bisectors of $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$ meet $AC$ at $B_1$ and $D_1$, respectively.

Prove that $O$ lies on the line $\overline{O_BO_D}$.

A robotic lawnmower is located in the middle of a large lawn. Due a manufacturing defect, the robot can only move straight ahead and turn in directions that are multiples of $60^o$. A fence must be set up so that it delimits the entire part of the lawn that the robot can get to, by traveling along a curve with length no more than $10$ meters from its starting position, given that it is facing north when it starts. How long must the fence be?

Define a class of graphs $G_k$ for each positive integer k as follows. A graph G = ( V , E ) is an element of $G_k$ if and only if there exists an edge coloring $\psi: E\to [ k ] = \{1,2, ..., k\}$ such that for all vertex coloring $\phi: V\to [ k ]$ there exist an edge e = { x , y } such that $\phi ( x ) = \phi( y ) = \psi( e )$. Prove that there exist $c_1< c_2$ positive constants with the following two properties: (i) each graph in $G_k$ has at least $c_1 k^2$ vertices; (ii) there is a graph in $G_k$ which has at most $c_2 k^2$ vertices.
