Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $\omega_1,\omega_2$ be centered at $O_1$, $O_2$ and tangent to line $BC$ at $B$, $C$ respectively. Let line $AB$ intersect $\omega_1$ again at $X$ and let line $AC$ intersect $\omega_2$ again at $Y$. If $Q$ is the other intersection of the circumcircles of triangles $ABC$ and $AXY$, then prove that lines $AQ$, $BC$, and $O_1O_2$ either concur or are all parallel.

Planes $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta$ are tangent to the circumsphere of a tetrahedron $ABCD$ at points $A,B,C,D$, respectively. Line $p$ is the intersection of $\alpha$ and $\beta$, and line $q$ is the intersection of $\gamma$ and $\delta$. Prove that if lines $p$ and $CD$ meet, then lines $q$ and $AB$ lie on a plane.

The squares in a $9\times 9$ grid are numbered from $11$ to $99$, where the first digit is the row and the second the column. Each square is colored black or white. Squares $44$ and $49$ are black. Every black square shares an edge with at most one other black square, and each white square shares an edge with at most one other white square. What color is square $99$?

The harmonic table is a triangular array:
$1$
$\frac 12 \qquad \frac 12$
$\frac 13 \qquad \frac 16 \qquad \frac 13$
$\frac 14 \qquad \frac 1{12} \qquad \frac 1{12} \qquad \frac 14$
Where $a_{n,1} = \frac 1n$ and $a_{n,k+1} = a_{n-1,k} - a_{n,k}$ for $1 \leq k \leq n-1.$ Find the harmonic mean of the $1985^{th}$ row.

Consider a trapezoid $ABCD$ with $BC||AD$ and $BC<AD$. Let the lines $AB$ and $CD$ meet at $X$. Let $\omega_1$ be the incircle of the triangle $XBC$, and let $\omega_2$ be the excircle of the triangle $XAD$ which is tangent to the segment $AD$ . Denote by $a$ and $d$ the lines tangent to $\omega_1$ , distinct from $AB$ and $CD$, and passing through $A$ and $D$, respectively. Denote by $b$ and $c$ the lines tangent to $\omega_2$ , distinct from $AB$ and $CD$, passing through $B$ and $C$ respectively. Assume that the lines $a,b,c$ and $d$ are distinct. Prove that they form a parallelogram.

A digital display shows the current date as an $8$-digit integer consisting of a $4$-digit year, followed by a $2$-digit month, followed by a $2$-digit date within the month. For example, Arbor Day this year is displayed as 20230428. For how many dates in $2023$ will each digit appear an even number of times in the 8-digital display for that date?
