A positive real number $k$, a triangle $ABC$ with circumcircle $\omega$, and a point $M$ on its side $AB$ are fixed. The point $P$ moves along $\omega$, and $Q$ on segment $CP$ is such that $CQ : QP = k$. The line through $P$, parallel to $CM$, intersects the line $MQ$ at point $N$. Prove that $N$ lies on a constant circle, independent of the choice of $P$.

Let $\oplus$ denote the xor binary operation. Define $x \star y=(x+y)-(x\oplus y).$ Compute $$\sum_{k=1}^{63} (k \star 45).$$([i]Remark:[/i] The xor operation works as follows: when considered in binary, the $k$th binary digit of $a \oplus b$ is $1$ exactly when the $k$th binary digits of $a$ and $b$ are different. For example, $5 \oplus 12 = 0101_2 \oplus 1100_2=1001_2=9.$)

Polyhedron $ABCDEFG$ has six faces. Face $ABCD$ is a square with $AB=12;$ face $ABFG$ is a trapezoid with $\overline{AB}$ parallel to $\overline{GF},$ $BF=AG=8,$ and $GF=6;$ and face $CDE$ has $CE=DE=14.$ The other three faces are $ADEG, BCEF,$ and $EFG.$ The distance from $E$ to face $ABCD$ is 12. Given that $EG^2=p-q\sqrt{r},$ where $p, q,$ and $r$ are positive integers and $r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, find $p+q+r.$

In Tigre there are $2024$ islands, some of them connected by a two-way bridge. It is known that it is possible to go from any island to any other island using only the bridges (possibly several of them). In $k$ of the islands there is a flag ($0 \le k \le 2024$). Ana wants to destroy some of the bridges in such a way that after doing so, the following two conditions are met: \\ $\bullet$ If an island has a flag, it is connected to an odd number of islands. \\ $\bullet$ If an island does not have a flag, it is connected to an even number of islands. \\ Determine all values of $k$ for which Ana can always achieve her objective, no matter what the initial bridge configuration is and which islands have a flag.

Fix a triangle $ABC$. We say that triangle $XYZ$ is elegant if $X$ lies on segment $BC$, $Y$ lies on segment $CA$, $Z$ lies on segment $AB$, and $XYZ$ is similar to $ABC$ (i.e., $\angle A=\angle X, \angle B=\angle Y, \angle C=\angle Z $). Of all the elegant triangles, which one has the smallest perimeter?
