Facundo and Luca have been given a cake that is shaped like the quadrilateral in the figure. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/3/2/630286edc1935e1a8dd9e704ed4c813c900381.png[/img] They are going to make two straight cuts on the cake, thus obtaining $4$ portions in the shape of a quadrilateral. Then Facundo will be left with two portions that do not share any side, the other two will be for Luca. Show how they can cut the cuts so that both children get the same amount of cake. Justify why cutting in this way achieves the objective.

Alison has an analog clock whose hands have the following lengths: $a$ inches (the hour hand), $b$ inches (the minute hand), and $c$ inches (the second hand), with $a < b < c$. The numbers $a$, $b$, and $c$ are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence. The tips of the hands travel the following distances during a day: $A$ inches (the hour hand), $B$ inches (the minute hand), and $C$ inches (the second hand). The numbers $A$, $B$, and $C$ (in this order) are consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. What is the value of $\frac{B}{A}$?

Triangle $ABC$ is assumed. The point $T$ is the second intersection of the symmedian of vertex $A$ with the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$ and the point $D \neq A$ lies on the line $AC$ such that $BA=BD$. The line that at $D$ tangents to the circumcircle of the triangle $ADT$, intersects the circumcircle of the triangle $DCT$ for the second time at $K$. Prove that $\angle BKC = 90^{\circ}$(The symmedian of the vertex $A$, is the reflection of the median of the vertex $A$ through the angle bisector of this vertex).

In a magic square $n \times n$ composed from the numbers $1,2,\cdots,n^2$, the centers of any two squares are joined by a vector going from the smaller number to the bigger one. Prove that the sum of all these vectors is zero. (A magic square is a square matrix such that the sums of entries in all its rows and columns are equal.)

The exact quantity of gas needed for a car to complete a single loop around a track is distributed among $n$ containers placed along the track. Prove that there exists a position starting at which the car, beginning with an empty tank of gas, can complete a loop around the track without running out of gas. The tank of gas is assumed to be large enough.

Alice has four boxes, $327$ blue balls, and $2022$ red balls. The blue balls are labeled $1$ to $327$. Alice first puts each of the balls into a box, possibly leaving some boxes empty. Then, a random label between $1$ and $327$ (inclusive) is selected, Alice finds the box the ball with the label is in, and selects a random ball from that box. What is the maximum probability that she selects a red ball?

Triangle $ABC$ has incenter $I$ and excircles $\Omega_A$, $\Omega_B$, and $\Omega_C$. Let $\ell_A$ be the line through the feet of the tangents from $I$ to $\Omega_A$, and define lines $\ell_B$ and $\ell_C$ similarly. Prove that the orthocenter of the triangle formed by lines $\ell_A$, $\ell_B$, and $\ell_C$ coincides with the Nagel point of triangle $ABC$. (The Nagel point of triangle $ABC$ is the intersection of segments $AT_A$, $BT_B$, and $CT_C$, where $T_A$ is the tangency point of $\Omega_A$ with side $BC$, and points $T_B$ and $T_C$ are defined similarly.)

Let $AB$ and $AC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Let $M$ and $N$ be points on line $BC$ such that $B$ is the midpoint of $DM$ and $C$ is the midpoint of $DN$.

Prove that $\angle BXP = \angle CXQ$. [i]Kian Moshiri, United Kingdom[/i]
