A circle touches sides $DA$, $AB$, $BC$, $CD$ of a quadrilateral $ABCD$ at points $K$, $L$, $M$, $N$, respectively. Let $S_1$, $S_2$, $S_3$, $S_4$ respectively be the incircles of triangles $AKL$, $BLM$, $CMN$, $DNK$. The external common tangents distinct from the sides of $ABCD$ are drawn to $S_1$ and $S_2$, $S_2$ and $S_3$, $S_3$ and $S_4$, $S_4$ and $S_1$. Prove that these four tangents determine a rhombus.

Let $\Omega$ be the circumcircle of an isosceles trapezoid $ABCD$, in which $AD$ is parallel to $BC$. Let $X$ be the reflection point of $D$ with respect to $BC$. Point $Q$ is on the arc $BC$ of $\Omega$ that does not contain $A$. Let $P$ be the intersection of $DQ$ and $BC$. A point $E$ satisfies that $EQ$ is parallel to $PX$, and $EQ$ bisects $\angle BEC$.

Replacing any of the coefficients of quadratic trinomial $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ with an $1$ will result in a quadratic trinomial with at least one real root. Prove that the resulting trinomial attains a negative value at at least one point. EDIT: Oops I failed, added "with a 1." Also, I am sorry for not knowing these are posted already, however, these weren't posted in the contest lab yet, which made me think they weren't translated yet. Note: fresh translation

Kati cut two equal regular $ n\minus{}gons$ out of paper. To the vertices of both $ n\minus{}gons$, she wrote the numbers 1 to $ n$ in some order. Then she stabbed a needle through the centres of these $ n\minus{}gons$ so that they could be rotated with respect to each other. Kati noticed that there is a position where the numbers at each pair of aligned vertices are different. Prove that the $ n\minus{}gons$ can be rotated to a position where at least two pairs of aligned vertices contain equal numbers.
