Fix a positive integer $n\ge 2$. For any cyclic $2n$-gon $P_1 P_2\cdots P_{2n}$ in this order, define its score as the maximal possible value of $$\angle P_iXP_{i+1} + \angle P_{i+n}XP_{i+n+1}$$ across all $1\le i\le n$ (indices modulo $n$), and over all points $X$ inside the $2n$-gon including its boundary.
Prove that there exist a real number $r$ such that a cyclic $2n$-gon is regular if and only if it has score $r$.

For a set $S$ of at least $3$ points in the plane, let $d_{\text{min}}$ denote the minimal distance between two different points in $S$ and $d_{\text{max}}$ the maximal distance between two different points in $S$.
For a real $c>0$, a set $S$ will be called $c$-[i]balanced[/i] if
\[\frac{d_{\text{max}}}{d_{\text{min}}}\leq c|S|\]
Prove that there exists a real $c>0$ so that for every $c$-balanced set of points $S$, there exists a triangle with vertices in $S$ that contains at least $\sqrt{|S|}$ elements of $S$ in its interior or on its boundary.

A $7 \times 7$ square is divided into unit squares by lines parallel to its sides. Some Swiss crosses (obtained by removing corner unit squares from a square of side $3$) are to be put on the large square, with the edges along division lines. Find the smallest number of unit squares that need to be marked in such a way that every cross covers at least one marked square.

Proof that there exist constant $\lambda$, so that for any positive integer $m(\ge 2)$, and any lattice triangle $T$ in the Cartesian coordinate plane, if $T$ contains exactly one $m$-lattice point in its interior(not containing boundary), then $T$ has area $\le \lambda m^3$.
PS. lattice triangles are triangles whose vertex are lattice points; $m$-lattice points are lattice points whose both coordinates are divisible by $m$.

A $3\times 3\times 3$ cube is made of $1\times 1\times 1$ cubes glued together. What is the maximal number of small cubes one can remove so the remaining solid has the following features:

2) The resulting solid remains face-connected (from each small cube one can reach any other small cube along a chain of consecutive cubes with common faces).

We will say that a set $ A $ of points is [i]disastrous [/i] if it meets the following conditions:
$\bullet$ There are no $ 3 $ collinear points
$\bullet$ There is not a trio of mutually equal distances between points.
If $ P $ and $ Q $ are points in $ A $, then there are $ M $, $ N $, $ R $ and $ T $ in $ A $ such that: $$ d (P, Q) = \frac {d (M, N) + d (R, T)} {2} $$
Show that all disastrous sets are infinite.
[hide=original wording of second condition]No existe ni un trío de distancias entre puntos mutuamente iguales.

There are $n > 1$ points on the plane. Two take turns connecting more an unconnected pair of points by a vector of one of two possible directions. If after the next move of a player the sum of all drawn vectors is zero, then the second one wins; if it's another move is impossible, and there was no zero sum, then the first one wins. Who wins when played correctly?

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. There are $n$ distinct circles in general position, that is, any two of them meet in two distinct points and there are no three of them meeting at one point. Those circles divide the plane in limited regions by circular edges, that meet at vertices (note that each circle have exactly $2n-2$ vertices). For each circle, temporarily color its vertices alternately black and white (note that, doing this, each vertex is colored twice, one for each circle passing through it). If the two temporarily colouring of a vertex coincide, this vertex is definitely colored with this common color; otherwise, it will be colored with gray. Show that if a circle has more than $n-2 + \sqrt{n-2}$ gray points, all vertices of some region are grey.
Observation: In this problem, a region cannot contain vertices or circular edges on its interior. Also, the outer region of all circles also counts as a region.
