Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcircle $\Omega$. Let $B_0$ be the midpoint of $AC$ and let $C_0$ be the midpoint of $AB$. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ and let $G$ be the centroid of the triangle $ABC$. Let $\omega$ be a circle through $B_0$ and $C_0$ that is tangent to the circle $\Omega$ at a point $X\not= A$. Prove that the points $D,G$ and $X$ are collinear.

Azambuja writes a rational number $q$ on a blackboard. One operation is to delete $q$ and replace it by $q+1$; or by $q-1$; or by $\frac{q-1}{2q-1}$ if $q \neq \frac{1}{2}$. The final goal of Azambuja is to write the number $\frac{1}{2018}$ after performing a finite number of operations.
[b]a)[/b] Show that if the initial number written is $0$, then Azambuja cannot reach his goal.
[b]b)[/b] Find all initial numbers for which Azambuja can achieve his goal.

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots$ be a sequence of $0,1$, such that it satisfies the following three conditions:
1) $x_2=x_{100}=1$, $x_i=0$ for $1 \leq i \leq 100$ and $i \neq 2,100$;
2) $x_{2n-1}=x_{n-50}+1, x_{2n}=x_{n-50}$ for $51 \leq n \leq 100$;
3) $x_{2n}=x_{n-50}, x_{2n-1}=x_{n-50}+x_{n-100}$ for $n>100$.

One day while the Kubik family attends one of Michael's baseball games, Tony gets bored and walks to the creek a few yards behind the baseball field. One of Tony's classmates Mitchell sees Tony and goes to join him. While playing around the creek, the two boys find an ordinary six-sided die buried in sediment. Mitchell washes it off in the water and challenges Tony to a contest. Each of the boys rolls the die exactly once. Mitchell's roll is $3$ higher than Tony's. "Let's play once more," says Tony. Let $a/b$ be the probability that the difference between the outcomes of the two dice is again exactly $3$ (regardless of which of the boys rolls higher), where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a+b$.

A rook is randomly placed on an otherwise empty $8 \times 8$ chessboard. Owen makes moves with the rook by randomly choosing $1$ of the $14$ possible moves. Find the expected value of the number of moves it takes Owen to move the rook to the top left square. Note that a rook can move any number of squares either in the horizontal or vertical direction each move.

Let $r>1$ be a rational number. Alice plays a solitaire game on a number line. Initially there is a red bead at $0$ and a blue bead at $1$. In a move, Alice chooses one of the beads and an integer $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. If the chosen bead is at $x$, and the other bead is at $y$, then the bead at $x$ is moved to the point $x'$ satisfying $x'-y=r^k(x-y)$.
Find all $r$ for which Alice can move the red bead to $1$ in at most $2021$ moves.

The figure on the right shows the map of Squareville, where each city block is of the same length. Two friends, Alexandra and Brianna, live at the corners marked by $A$ and $B$, respectively. They start walking toward each other's house, leaving at the same time, walking with the same speed, and independently choosing a path to the other's house with uniform distribution out of all possible minimum-distance paths [that is, all minimum-distance paths are equally likely]. What is the probability they will meet?
