In an acute triangle $ABC$ the heights $AD, BE$ and $CF$ intersecting at $H{}$. Let $O{}$ be the circumcenter of the triangle $ABC$. The tangents to the circle $(ABC)$ drawn at $B{}$ and $C{}$ intersect at $T{}$. Let $K{}$ and $L{}$ be symmetric to $O{}$ with respect to $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. The circles $(DFK)$ and $(DEL)$ intersect at a point $P{}$ different from $D{}$. Prove that $P, D$ and $T{}$ lie on the same line. [i]Proposed by Don Luu (Vietnam)[/i]

Certain king of a certain state wants to build $n$ cities and $n-1$ roads, connecting them to provide a possibility to move from every city to every city. (Each road connects two cities, the roads do not intersect, and don't come through another city.) He wants also, to make the shortests distances between the cities, along the roads, to be $1,2,3,...,n(n-1)/2$ kilometres. Is it possible for a) $n=6$ b) $n=1986$ ?

In the kindergarten there is a big box with balls of three colors: red, blue and green, 100 balls in total. Once Pasha took out of the box 30 red, 10 blue, and 20 green balls and played with them. Then he lost five balls and returned the others back into the box. The next day, Sasha took out of the box 8 red, 18 blue, and 48 green balls. Is it possible to determine the color of at least one lost ball?

It has to be proven: If at least two of the real numbers $a, b, c$ are different from zero, then the inequality holds $$\frac{a^2}{b^2 + c^2} + \frac{b^2}{c^2 + a^2} + \frac{c^2}{a^2 + b^2} \ge \frac32$$ Under what conditions does equality occur?

A polyomino $P$ occupies $n$ cells of an infinite grid of unit squares. In each move, we lift $P$ off the grid and then we place it back into a new position, possibly rotated and reflected, so that the preceding and the new position have $n-1$ cells in common. We say that $P$ is a caterpillar of area $n$ if, by means of a series of moves, we can free up all cells initially occupied by $P$. How many caterpillars of area $n=10^{6}+1$ are there?

A finite set $K$ consists of at least 3 distinct positive integers. Suppose that $K$ can be partitioned into two nonempty subsets $A,B\in K$ such that $ab+1$ is always a perfect square whenever $a\in A$ and $b\in B$. Prove that \[\max_{k\in K}k\geq \left\lfloor (2+\sqrt{3})^{\min\{|A|,|B|\}-1}\right\rfloor+1,\]where $|X|$ stands for the cartinality of the set $X$, and for $x\in \mathbb{R}$, $\lfloor x\rfloor$ is the greatest integer that does not exceed $x$.

Ben is throwing darts at a circular target with diameter 10. Ben never misses the target when he throws a dart, but he is equally likely to hit any point on the target. Ben gets $\lceil 5-x \rceil$ points for having the dart land $x$ units away from the center of the target. What is the expected number of points that Ben can earn from throwing a single dart? (Note that $\lceil y \rceil$ denotes the smallest integer greater than or equal to $y$.)
