A box contains $900$ cards numbered from $100$ to $999$. Paulo randomly takes a certain number of cards from the box and calculates, for each card, the sum of the digits written on it. How many cards does Paulo need to take out of the box to be sure of finding at least three cards whose digit sums are the same?

VI Soros Olympiad 1999 - 2000 (Russia), 8.6

Two players take turns writing down all proper non-decreasing fractions with denominators from $1 $ to $1999$ and at the same time writing a "$+$" sign before each fraction. After all such fractions are written out, their sum is found. If this amount is an integer number, then the one who made the entry last wins, otherwise his opponent wins. Who will be able to secure a win?

There are $2n$ points on a circle, $n$ are red and $n$ are blue. Janson found a red frog and a blue frog at a red point and a blue point on the circle respectively. Every minute, the red frog moves to the next red point in the clockwise direction and the blue frog moves to the next blue point in the anticlockwise direction. Prove that for any initial position of the two frogs, Janson can draw a line through the circle, such that the two frogs are always on opposite sides of the line.

Let $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ be two circles that intersect at two points: $A$ and $B$. Let $C$ and $E$ be on $\omega_1$, and $D$ and $F$ be on $\omega_2$ such that $CD$ and $EF$ meet at $B$ and the three lines $CE$, $DF$, and $AB$ concur at a point $P$ that is closer to $B$ than $A$. Let $\Omega$ denote the circumcircle of $\triangle DEF$. Now, let the line through $A$ perpendicular to $AB$ hit $EB$ at $G$, $GD$ hit $\Omega$ at $J$, and $DA$ hit $\Omega$ again at $I$. A point $Q$ on $IE$ satisfies that $CQ=JQ$. If $QJ=36$, $EI=21$, and $CI=16$, then the radius of $\Omega$ can be written as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers, $b$ is not divisible by the square of a prime, and $\gcd(a, c) = 1$. Find $a+b+c$. [i]Proposed by Kevin Zhao[/i]
