Points $M$, $N$, $K$ lie on the sides $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ of a triangle $ABC$, respectively, and are different from its vertices. The triangle $MNK$ is called[i] beautiful[/i] if $\angle BAC=\angle KMN$ and $\angle ABC=\angle KNM$. If in the triangle $ABC$ there are two beautiful triangles with a common vertex, prove that the triangle $ABC$ is right-angled. [i]Proposed by Nairi M. Sedrakyan, Armenia[/i]

Teacher has 100 weights with masses $1$ g, $2$ g, $\dots$, $100$ g. He wants to give 30 weights to Petya and 30 weights to Vasya so that no 11 Petya's weights have the same total mass as some 12 Vasya's weights, and no 11 Vasya's weights have the same total mass as some 12 Petya's weights. Can the teacher do that?

$10$ students bought some books in a bookstore. It is known that every student bought exactly three kinds of books, and any two of them shared at least one kind of book. Determine, with proof, how many students bought the most popular book at least? (Note: the most popular book means most students bought this kind of book)

For a positive integer $n$ let $S(n)$ be the sum of digits in the decimal representation of $n$. Any positive integer obtained by removing several (at least one) digits from the right-hand end of the decimal representation of $n$ is called a [i]stump[/i] of $n$. Let $T(n)$ be the sum of all stumps of $n$. Prove that $n=S(n)+9T(n)$.
