Consider non-negative real numbers $a, b, c$ satisfying the condition $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2$ . Find the maximum value of the following expression $$P=\frac{\sqrt{b^2+c^2}}{3-a}+\frac{\sqrt{c^2+a^2}}{3-b}+a+b-2022c$$

Starting from a given cyclic quadrilateral $\mathcal{Q}_0$, a sequence of quadrilaterals is constructed so that $\mathcal{Q}_{k + 1}$ is the circumscribed quadrilateral of $\mathcal{Q}_k$ for $k = 0,1,\dots$. The sequence terminates when a quadrilateral is reached that is not cyclic. (The circumscribed quadrilateral of a cylic quadrilateral $ABCD$ has sides that are tangent to the circumcircle of $ABCD$ at $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$.) Prove that the sequence always terminates, except when $\mathcal{Q}_0$ is a square.

Consider a square painting of size $1 \times 1$. A rectangular sheet of paper of area $2$ is called its “envelope” if one can wrap the painting with it without cutting the paper. (For instance, a $2 \times 1$ rectangle and a square with side $\sqrt2$ are envelopes.) a) Show that there exist other envelopes. (4) b) Show that there exist infinitely many envelopes. (3)

A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let $k$ be a circle with radius $r \geq 2$, that does not pass through any lattice point. An interior boundary point is a lattice point lying inside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying outside $k$. Similarly, an exterior boundary point is a lattice point lying outside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying inside $k$. Prove that there are four more exterior boundary points than interior boundary points.

In a small pond there are eleven lily pads in a row labeled $0$ through $10$. A frog is sitting on pad $1$. When the frog is on pad $N$, $0<N<10$, it will jump to pad $N-1$ with probability $\frac{N}{10}$ and to pad $N+1$ with probability $1-\frac{N}{10}$. Each jump is independent of the previous jumps. If the frog reaches pad $0$ it will be eaten by a patiently waiting snake. If the frog reaches pad $10$ it will exit the pond, never to return. What is the probability that the frog will escape being eaten by the snake? $ \textbf {(A) } \frac{32}{79} \qquad \textbf {(B) } \frac{161}{384} \qquad \textbf {(C) } \frac{63}{146} \qquad \textbf {(D) } \frac{7}{16} \qquad \textbf {(E) } \frac{1}{2} $

Is there any sequence $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of non-negative numbers, for which $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n^2<\infty$ , but $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{a_{kn}}{k} \right)^2=\infty$ ? [hide=Remark]That contest - Miklos Schweitzer 2010- is missing on the contest page here for now being. The statements of all problems that year can be found [url=http://www.math.u-szeged.hu/~mmaroti/schweitzer/]here[/url], but unfortunately only in Hungarian. I tried google translate but it was a mess. So, it would be wonderful if someone knows Hungarian and wish to translate it. [/hide]

1980 IMO, 17

Ten gamblers start playing with the same amount of money. In turn they cast five dice. If the dice show a total of $n$, the player must pay each other player $\frac{1}{n}$ times the sum which that player owns at the moment. They throw and pay one after the other. At the $10^{\text{th}}$ round (i.e. after each player has cast the five die once), the dice shows a total of $12$ and after the payment it turns out that every player has exactly the same sum as he had in the beginning. Is it possible to determine the totals shown by the dice at the nine former rounds?
