Triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in the circle $\Gamma$. Let $\Gamma_a$ denote the circle internally tangent to $\Gamma$ and also tangent to sides $AB$ and $AC$. Let $A'$ denote the point of tangency of $\Gamma$ and $\Gamma_a$. Define $B'$ and $C'$ similarly. Prove that $AA'$, $BB'$ and $CC'$ are concurrent.

A point in the cartesian plane with integer coordinates is called a lattice point. Consider the following one player game. A finite set of selected lattice points and finite set of selected segments is called a position in this game if the following hold: (i) The endpoints of each selected segment are lattice points; (ii) Each selected segment is parallel to a coordinate axis or to one of the lines $y = \pm x$, (iii) Each selected segment contains exactly five lattice points, all of which are selected, (iv) Every two selected segments have at most one common point. A move in this game consists of selecting a lattice point and a segment such that the new set of selected lattice points and segments is a position. Prove or disprove that there exists an initial position such that the game can have infinitely many moves.

Points $K,L,M$ on the sides $AB,BC,CA$ respectively of a triangle $ABC$ satisfy $\frac{AK}{KB} = \frac{BL}{LC} = \frac{CM}{MA}$. Show that the triangles $ABC$ and $KLM$ have a common orthocenter if and only if $\triangle ABC$ is equilateral.

Bolek draw a trapezoid $ABCD$ trapezoid ($AB // CD$) on the board, with its midsegment line $EF$ in it. Point intersection of his diagonal $AC, BD$ denote by $P,$ and his rectangular projection on line $AB$ denote by $Q$. Lolek, wanting to tease Bolek, blotted from the board everything except segments $EF$ and $PQ$. When Bolek saw it, wanted to complete the drawing and draw the original trapezoid, but did not know how to do it. Can you help Bolek?

A wooden block (mass $M$) is hung from a peg by a massless rope. A speeding bullet (with mass $m$ and initial speed $v_\text{0}$) collides with the block at time $t = \text{0}$ and embeds in it. Let $S$ be the system consisting of the block and bullet. Which quantities are conserved between $t = -\text{10 s}$ and $ t = \text{+10 s}$?

Beatrix is going to place six rooks on a $6\times6$ chessboard where both the rows and columns are labelled $1$ to $6$; the rooks are placed so that no two rooks are in the same row or the same column. The [i]value[/i] of a square is the sum of its row number and column number. The [i]score[/i] of an arrangement of rooks is the least value of any occupied square. The average score over all valid configurations is $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.

An "n-pointed star" is formed as follows: the sides of a convex polygon are numbered consecutively $1,2,\cdots,k,\cdots,n$, $n\geq 5$; for all $n$ values of $k$, sides $k$ and $k+2$ are non-parallel, sides $n+1$ and $n+2$ being respectively identical with sides $1$ and $2$; prolong the $n$ pairs of sides numbered $k$ and $k+2$ until they meet.

In one side of a hall there are $2N$ rooms numbered from 1 to $2N$. In each room $i$ between 1 and $N$ there are $p_i$ beds. Is needed to move every one of this beds to the roms from $N+ 1$ to $2N$, in such a way that for every $j$ between $N+1$ and $2N$ the room $j$ will have $p_j$ beds. Supose that each bed can be move once and the price of moving a bed from room $i$ to room $j$ is $(i-j)^2$. Find a way to move every bed such that the total cost is minimize. Note: The numbers $p_i$ are given and satisfy that $p_1 + p_2 + \cdots + p_N = p_{N+1} + p_{N+2} + \cdots+ p_{2N}.$

Let $C$ be a circle centered at point $O$, and let $P$ be a point in the interior of $C$. Let $Q$ be a point on the circumference of $C$ such that $PQ \perp OP$, and let $D$ be the circle with diameter $PQ$. Consider a circle tangent to $C$ whose circumference passes through point $P$. Let the curve $\Gamma$ be the locus of the centers of all such circles. If the area enclosed by $\Gamma$ is $1/100$ the area of $C$, then what is the ratio of the area of $C$ to the area of $D$?
