The vertices of $\triangle ABC$ are $A = (0,0)$, $B = (0,420)$, and $C = (560,0)$. The six faces of a die are labeled with two $A$'s, two $B$'s, and two $C$'s. Point $P_1 = (k,m)$ is chosen in the interior of $\triangle ABC$, and points $P_2$, $P_3$, $P_4, \dots$ are generated by rolling the die repeatedly and applying the rule: If the die shows label $L$, where $L \in \{A, B, C\}$, and $P_n$ is the most recently obtained point, then $P_{n + 1}$ is the midpoint of $\overline{P_n L}$. Given that $P_7 = (14,92)$, what is $k + m$?

100 unit squares of an infinite squared plane form a $ 10\times 10$ square. Unit segments forming these squares are coloured in several colours. It is known that the border of every square with sides on grid lines contains segments of at most two colours. (Such square is not necessarily contained in the original $ 10\times 10$ square.) What maximum number of colours may appear in this colouring? [i]Author: S. Berlov[/i]

A fox stands in the centre of the field which has the form of an equilateral triangle, and a rabbit stands at one of its vertices. The fox can move through the whole field, while the rabbit can move only along the border of the field. The maximal speeds of the fox and rabbit are equal to $u$ and $v$, respectively. Prove that: (a) If $2u>v$, the fox can catch the rabbit, no matter how the rabbit moves. (b) If $2u\le v$, the rabbit can always run away from the fox.

Let $O$ be the centre of a two-dimensional coordinate system, and let $A_1, A_2, \ldots ,A_n$ be points in the first quadrant and $B_1, B_2, \ldots , B_m$ points in the second quadrant. We associate numbers $a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n$ to the points $A_1, A_2, \ldots ,A_n$ and numbers $b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_m$ to the points $B_1, B_2, \ldots , B_m$, respectively. It turns out that the area of triangle $OA_jB_k$ is always equal to the product $a_jb_k$, for any $j$ and $k$. Show that either all the $A_j$ or all the $B_k$ lie on a single line through $O$.

In a rectangular coordinate system we call a horizontal line parallel to the $x$ -axis triangular if it intersects the curve with equation \[y = x^4 + px^3 + qx^2 + rx + s\] in the points $A,B,C$ and $D$ (from left to right) such that the segments $AB, AC$ and $AD$ are the sides of a triangle. Prove that the lines parallel to the $x$ - axis intersecting the curve in four distinct points are all triangular or none of them is triangular.

2018 All-Russian Olympiad, 8

Initially, on the lower left and right corner of a $2018\times 2018$ board, there're two horses, red and blue, respectively. $A$ and $B$ alternatively play their turn, $A$ start first. Each turn consist of moving their horse ($A$-red, and $B$-blue) by, simultaneously, $20$ cells respect to one coordinate, and $17$ cells respect to the other; while preserving the rule that the horse can't occupied the cell that ever occupied by any horses in the game. The player who can't make the move loss, who has the winning strategy?

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers. A sequence of points $(A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_n)$ on the Cartesian plane is called [i]interesting[/i] if $A_i$ are all lattice points, the slopes of $OA_0,OA_1,\cdots,OA_n$ are strictly increasing ($O$ is the origin) and the area of triangle $OA_iA_{i+1}$ is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ for $i=0,1,\ldots,n-1$.

We may insert a point $B$ between $B_i$ and $B_{i+1}$ if $\overrightarrow{OB}=\overrightarrow{OB_i}+\overrightarrow{OB_{i+1}}$, and the resulting sequence $(B_0,B_1,\ldots,B_i,B,B_{i+1},\ldots,B_n)$ is called an [i]extension[/i] of the original sequence. Given two [i]interesting[/i] sequences $(C_0,C_1,\ldots,C_n)$ and $(D_0,D_1,\ldots,D_m)$, prove that if $C_0=D_0$ and $C_n=D_m$, then we may perform finitely many [i]extensions[/i] on each sequence until the resulting two sequences become identical.
