An isosceles triangle $ABC$ ($AB = BC$) is given. Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ with centres $O_1$ and $O_2$ lie in the angle $ABC$ and touch the sides $AB$ and $CB$ at $A$ and $C$ respectively, and touch each other externally at point $X$. The side $AC$ meets the circles again at points $Y$ and $Z$. $O$ is the circumcenter of the triangle $XYZ$. Lines $O_2 O$ and $O_1 O$ intersect lines $AB$ and $BC$ at points $C_1$ and $A_1$ respectively. Prove that $B$ is the circumcentre of the triangle $A_1 OC_1$.

Greg plays a game in which he is given three random $1$ digit numbers, each between $0$ and $9$, inclusive, with repeats allowed. He is to put these three numbers into any order. Exactly one ordering of the three numbers is correct, and if he guesses the correct ordering, he wins $\$150$. What are Greg's expected winnings for this game, given that he randomly guesses one valid ordering when he plays?

We are given $64$ cubes, each with five white faces and one black face. One cube is placed on each square of a chessboard, with its edges parallel to the sides of the board. We are allowed to rotate a complete row of cubes about the axis of symmetry running through the cubes or to rotate a complete column of cubes about the axis of symmetry running through the cubes. Show that by a sequence of such rotations we can always arrange that each cube has its black face uppermost

Let integer $n\ge 3,$ $\tbinom n2$ nonnegative real numbers $a_{i,j}$ satisfy $ a_{i,j}+a_{j,k}\le a_{i,k}$ holds for all $1\le i <j<k\le n$. Proof

Given a triangle $ABC$ for which $C=90$ degrees, prove that given $n$ points inside it, we can name them $P_1, P_2 , \ldots , P_n$ in some way such that:
$\sum^{n-1}_{k=1} \left( P_K P_{k+1} \right)^2 \leq AB^2$ (the sum is over the consecutive square of the segments from $1$ up to $n-1$).

Two particles move along the edges of equilateral triangle $ \triangle ABC$ in the direction
\[ A\rightarrow B\rightarrow C\rightarrow A
\]starting simultaneously and moving at the same speed. One starts at $ A$, and the other starts at the midpoint of $ \overline{BC}$. The midpoint of the line segment joining the two particles traces out a path that encloses a region $ R$. What is the ratio of the area of $ R$ to the area of $ \triangle ABC$?

In a plane, there are $n \geq 3$ circular beer mats $B_{1}, B_{2}, ..., B_{n}$ of equal size. $B_{k}$ touches $B_{k+1}$ ($k=1,2,...,n$); $B_{n+1}=B_{1}$. The beer mats are placed such that another beer mat $B$ of equal size touches all of them in the given order if rolling along the outside of the chain of beer mats.
How many rotations $B$ makes untill it returns to it's starting position¿

Let $ABCD$ and $BCFG$ be two faces of a cube with $AB=12.$ A beam of light emanates from vertex $A$ and reflects off face $BCFG$ at point $P,$ which is 7 units from $\overline{BG}$ and 5 units from $\overline{BC}.$ The beam continues to be reflected off the faces of the cube. The length of the light path from the time it leaves point $A$ until it next reaches a vertex of the cube is given by $m\sqrt{n},$ where $m$ and $n$ are integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n.$
