We are given the line $ d, $ and a point $ A $ which is not on $ d. $ Two points $ B $ and $ C $ move on $ d $ such that the angle $ \angle BAC $ is constant. Prove that the circumcircle of $ ABC $ is tangent to a fixed circle.

$2019$ coins are on the table. Two students play the following game making alternating moves. The first player can in one move take the odd number of coins from $ 1$ to $99$, the second player in one move can take an even number of coins from $2$ to $100$. The player who can not make a move is lost. Who has the winning strategy in this game?

A sequence $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots $ is defined as follows: $a_1$ is a positive integer and $$a_{n+1} = \left\lfloor \frac{3}{2} a_n \right\rfloor +1$$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Can $a_1$ be chosen in such a way that the first $100000$ terms of the sequence are even, but the $100001$-th term is odd?

Say that a positive integer is [i]sweet[/i] if it uses only the digits 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8. For instance, 2014 is sweet. There are sweet integers whose squares are sweet: some examples (not necessarily the smallest) are 1, 2, 11, 12, 20, 100, 202, and 210. There are sweet integers whose cubes are sweet: some examples (not necessarily the smallest) are 1, 2, 10, 20, 200, 202, 281, and 2424. Prove that there exists a sweet positive integer $n$ whose square and cube are both sweet, such that the sum of all the digits of $n$ is 2014.

Tangents $ l_1$ and $ l_2$ common to circles $ c_1$ and $ c_2$ intersect at point $ P$, whereby tangent points remain to different sides from $ P$ on both tangent lines. Through some point $ T$, tangents $ p_1$ and $ p_2$ to circle $ c_1$ and tangents $ p_3$ and $ p_4$ to circle $ c_2$ are drawn. The intersection points of $ l_1$ with lines $ p_1, p_2, p_3, p_4$ are $ A_1, B_1, C_1, D_1$, respectively, whereby the order of points on $ l_1$ is: $ A_1, B_1, P, C_1, D_1$. Analogously, the intersection points of $ l_2$ with lines $ p_1, p_2, p_3, p_4$ are $ A_2, B_2, C_2, D_2$, respectively. Prove that if both quadrangles $ A_1A_2D_1D_2$ and $ B_1B_2C_1C_2$ are cyclic then radii of $ c_1$ and $ c_2$ are equal.
