Right triangle $ABC$ has side lengths $BC=6$, $AC=8$, and $AB=10$. A circle centered at $O$ is tangent to line $BC$ at $B$ and passes through $A$. A circle centered at $P$ is tangent to line $AC$ at $A$ and passes through $B$. What is $OP$? $\textbf{(A)} ~\frac{23}{8}\qquad\textbf{(B)} ~\frac{29}{10}\qquad\textbf{(C)} ~\frac{35}{12}\qquad\textbf{(D)} ~\frac{73}{25}\qquad\textbf{(E)} ~3$

2005 VTRMC, Problem 4

A cubical box with sides of length $7$ has vertices at $(0,0,0)$, $(7,0,0)$, $(0,7,0)$, $(7,7,0)$, $(0,0,7)$, $(7,0,7)$, $(0,7,7)$, $(7,7,7)$. The inside of the box is lined with mirrors and from the point $(0,1,2)$, a beam of light is directed to the point $(1,3,4)$. The light then reflects repeatedly off the mirrors on the inside of the box. Determine how far the beam of light travels before it first returns to its starting point at $(0,1,2)$.

A triangle with vertices as $A=(1,3)$, $B=(5,1)$, and $C=(4,4)$ is plotted on a $6\times5$ grid. What fraction of the grid is covered by the triangle? $\textbf{(A) }\frac{1}{6} \qquad \textbf{(B) }\frac{1}{5} \qquad \textbf{(C) }\frac{1}{4} \qquad \textbf{(D) }\frac{1}{3} \qquad \textbf{(E) }\frac{1}{2}$ [asy] draw((1,0)--(1,5),linewidth(.5)); draw((2,0)--(2,5),linewidth(.5)); draw((3,0)--(3,5),linewidth(.5)); draw((4,0)--(4,5),linewidth(.5)); draw((5,0)--(5,5),linewidth(.5)); draw((6,0)--(6,5),linewidth(.5)); draw((0,1)--(6,1),linewidth(.5)); draw((0,2)--(6,2),linewidth(.5)); draw((0,3)--(6,3),linewidth(.5)); draw((0,4)--(6,4),linewidth(.5)); draw((0,5)--(6,5),linewidth(.5)); draw((0,0)--(0,6),EndArrow); draw((0,0)--(7,0),EndArrow); draw((1,3)--(4,4)--(5,1)--cycle); label("$y$",(0,6),W); label("$x$",(7,0),S); label("$A$",(1,3),dir(230)); label("$B$",(5,1),SE); label("$C$",(4,4),dir(50)); [/asy]

On the coordinate plane, at some points with integer coordinates, there is a pebble (a finite number of pebbles). It is allowed to make the following move: select a pair of pebbles, take some vector $\vec{a}$ with integer coordinates and then move one of the selected pebbles to vector $\vec{a}$, and the other to the opposite vector $-\vec{a}$; it is forbidden that there should be more than one pebble at one point. Is it always possible to achieve a situation in which all the pebbles lie on the same straight line in a few moves? [i] K. Ivanov [/i]

1987 China Team Selection Test, 2

A closed recticular polygon with 100 sides (may be concave) is given such that it's vertices have integer coordinates, it's sides are parallel to the axis and all it's sides have odd length. Prove that it's area is odd.

Every point with integer coordinates in the plane is the center of a disk with radius $1/1000$. (1) Prove that there exists an equilateral triangle whose vertices lie in different discs. (2) Prove that every equilateral triangle with vertices in different discs has side-length greater than $96$. [i]Radu Gologan, Romania[/i] [hide="Remark"] The "> 96" in [b](b)[/b] can be strengthened to "> 124". By the way, part [b](a)[/b] of this problem is the place where I used [url=http://mathlinks.ro/viewtopic.php?t=5537]the well-known "Dedekind" theorem[/url]. [/hide]

1986 All Soviet Union Mathematical Olympiad, 422

Prove that it is impossible to draw a convex quadrangle, with one diagonal equal to doubled another, the angle between them $45$ degrees, on the coordinate plane, so, that all the vertices' coordinates would be integers.
