Let $J_A$ and $J_B$ be the $A$-excenter and $B$-excenter of $\triangle ABC$. Consider a chord $\overline{PQ}$ of circle $ABC$ which is parallel to $AB$ and intersects segments $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BC}$. If lines $AB$ and $CP$ intersect at $R$, prove that $$\angle J_AQJ_B+\angle J_ARJ_B=180^\circ.$$

Let $\Omega$ be the circumcircle of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$. A point $D$ is chosen on the internal bisector of $\angle ACB$ so that the points $D$ and $C$ are separated by $AB$. A circle $\omega$ centered at $D$ is tangent to the segment $AB$ at $E$. The tangents to $\omega$ through $C$ meet the segment $AB$ at $K$ and $L$, where $K$ lies on the segment $AL$. A circle $\Omega_1$ is tangent to the segments $AL, CL$, and also to $\Omega$ at point $M$. Similarly, a circle $\Omega_2$ is tangent to the segments $BK, CK$, and also to $\Omega$ at point $N$. The lines $LM$ and $KN$ meet at $P$. Prove that $\angle KCE = \angle LCP$. Poland

Determine the least value the sum \[\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{P(x_i^2)}{P(x_ix_{\sigma(i)})}\] may achieve, as $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ run through the set of positive real numbers. [i]Fedor Petrov[/i]

Let $g(t)$ and $h(t)$ be real, continuous functions for $t\geq 0.$ Show that any function $v(t)$ satisfying the differential inequality $$\frac{dv}{dt}+g(t)v \geq h(t),\;\; v(t)=c,$$ satisfies the further inequality $v(t)\geq u(t),$ where $$\frac{du}{dt}+g(t)u = h(t),\;\; u(t)=c.$$ From this, conclude that for sufficiently small $t>0,$ the solution of $$\frac{dv}{dt}+g(t)v = v^2 ,\;\; v(t)=c$$ may be written $$v=\max_{w(t)} \left( c e^{- \int_{0}^{t} |g(s)-2w(s)| \, ds} -\int_{0}^{t} e^{-\int_{0}^{t} |g(s')-2w(s')| \, ds'} w(s)^{2} ds \right),$$ where the maximum is over all continuous functions $w(t)$ defined over some $t$-interval $[0,t_0 ].$

The integer sequence $(s_i)$ "having pattern 2016'" is defined as follows:\\ $\circ$ The first member $s_1$ is 2.\\ $\circ$ The second member $s_2$ is the least positive integer exceeding $s_1$ and having digit 0 in its decimal notation.\\ $\circ$ The third member $s_3$ is the least positive integer exceeding $s_2$ and having digit 1 in its decimal notation.\\ $\circ$ The third member $s_3$ is the least positive integer exceeding $s_2$ and having digit 6 in its decimal notation.\\ The following members are defined in the same way. The required digits change periodically: $2 \rightarrow 0 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 6 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 0 \rightarrow \ldots$. The first members of this sequence are the following: $2; 10; 11; 16; 20; 30; 31; 36; 42; 50$. What are the 4 numbers that immediately follow $s_k = 2016$ in this sequence?

One morning, each member of Manjul’s family drank an $8$-ounce mixture of coffee and milk. The amounts of coffee and milk varied from cup to cup, but were never zero. Manjul drank $1/7$-th of the total amount of milk and $2/17$-th of the total amount of coffee. How many people are there in Manjul’s family?
