Matías has a rectangular sheet of paper $ABCD$, with $AB<AD$.Initially, he folds the sheet along a straight line $AE$, where $E$ is a point on the side $DC$ , so that vertex $D$ is located on side $BC$, as shown in the figure. Then folds the sheet again along a straight line $AF$, where $F$ is a point on side $BC$, so that vertex $B$ lies on the line $AE$; and finally folds the sheet along the line $EF$. Matías observed that the vertices $B$ and $C$ were located on the same point of segment $AE$ after making the folds. Calculate the measure of the angle $\angle DAE$.

2025 Poland - First Round, 6

Positive integers $k, n$ and subsets $A_1, A_2, ..., A_k$ of the set $\{1, 2, ..., 2n\}$ are given. We will say that a pair of numbers $x, y$ is good, if $x<y$, $x, y\in \{1, 2, ..., 2n\}$ and there exists exactly one index $i\in \{1, 2, ..., 2n\}$, for which exactly one of $x, y$ belongs to $A_i$. Prove that there are at most $n^2$ good pairs.

[i]Alternative formulation:[/i] Does there exist a 1992-gon with side lengths $ 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 1992$ circumscribed about a circle? Answer the same question for a 1990-gon.

2008 Dutch IMO TST, 2

Julian and Johan are playing a game with an even number of cards, say $2n$ cards, ($n \in Z_{>0}$). Every card is marked with a positive integer. The cards are shuffled and are arranged in a row, in such a way that the numbers are visible. The two players take turns picking cards. During a turn, a player can pick either the rightmost or the leftmost card. Johan is the first player to pick a card (meaning Julian will have to take the last card). Now, a player’s score is the sum of the numbers on the cards that player acquired during the game. Prove that Johan can always get a score that is at least as high as Julian’s.

I have two cents and Bill has $n$ cents. Bill wants to buy some pencils, which come in two different packages. One package of pencils costs 6 cents for 7 pencils, and the other package of pencils costs a [i]dime for a dozen[/i] pencils (i.e. 10 cents for 12 pencils). Bill notes that he can spend [b]all[/b] $n$ of his cents on some combination of pencil packages to get $P$ pencils. However, if I [i]give my two cents[/i] to Bill, he then notes that he can instead spend [b]all[/b] $n+2$ of his cents on some combination of pencil packages to get fewer than $P$ pencils. What is the smallest value of $n$ for which this is possible? Note: Both times Bill must spend [b]all[/b] of his cents on pencil packages, i.e. have zero cents after either purchase.
