Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\omega$. Let $l_B$ and $l_C$ be two lines through the points $B$ and $C$, respectively, such that $l_B \parallel l_C$. The second intersections of $l_B$ and $l_C$ with $\omega$ are $D$ and $E$, respectively. Assume that $D$ and $E$ are on the same side of $BC$ as $A$. Let $DA$ intersect $l_C$ at $F$ and let $EA$ intersect $l_B$ at $G$. If $O$, $O_1$ and $O_2$ are circumcenters of the triangles $ABC$, $ADG$ and $AEF$, respectively, and $P$ is the circumcenter of the triangle $OO_1O_2$, prove that $l_B \parallel OP \parallel l_C$.

[u]Round 1[/u] [b]p1.[/b] At a fortune-telling exam, $13$ witches are sitting in a circle. To pass the exam, a witch must correctly predict, for everybody except herself and her two neighbors, whether they will pass or fail. Each witch predicts that each of the $10$ witches she is asked about will fail. How many witches could pass? [b]p2.[/b] Out of $152$ coins, $7$ are counterfeit. All counterfeit coins have the same weight, and all real coins have the same weight, but counterfeit coins are lighter than real coins. How can you find $19$ real coins if you are allowed to use a balance scale three times? [b]p3.[/b] The digits of a number $N$ increase from left to right. What could the sum of the digits of $9 \times N$ be? [b]p4.[/b] The sides and diagonals of a pentagon are colored either blue or red.

The pancakes are stacked in a random order. Count the number of blueberries in the top pancake and call that number $N$. Pick up the stack of the top $N$ pancakes and flip it upside down. Prove that if you repeat this counting-and-flipping process, the pancake with one blueberry will eventually end up at the top of the stack. [u]Round 2[/u] [b]p6.[/b] A circus owner will arrange $100$ fleas on a long string of beads, each flea on her own bead. Once arranged, the fleas start jumping using the following rules. Every second, each flea chooses the closest bead occupied by one or more of the other fleas, and then all fleas jump simultaneously to their chosen beads. If there are two places where a flea could jump, she jumps to the right. At the start, the circus owner arranged the fleas so that, after some time, they all gather on just two beads. What is the shortest amount of time it could take for this to happen? [b]p7.[/b] The faraway land of Noetheria has $2016$ cities. There is a nonstop flight between every pair of cities.

In this problem we consider so-called [i]cartesian triangles[/i], that is, triangles $ABC$ with integer sides $BC=a,CA=b,AB=c$ and $\angle A=\frac{2\pi}3$. Unless noted otherwise, $\triangle ABC$ is assumed to be cartesian.

(b) If $I$ is the incenter, $J$ the excenter across $A$, and $P,Q$ the intersection points of the two bisectors at $A$ with the line $BC$, specify those of the segments $PB$, $PC$, $QB$, $QC$, $AI$, $AJ$, $AP$, $AQ$ having rational length. (c) Assume that $b$ and $c$ are prime. Prove that exactly one of the numbers $a+b-c$ and $a-b+c$ is a multiple of $3$. (d) Assume that $\frac{a+b-c}{3c}=\frac pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are coprime, and denote by $d$ the $\gcd$ of $p(3p+2q)$ and $q(2p+q)$. Compute $a,b,c$ in terms of $p,q,d$. (e) Prove that if $q$ is not a multiple of $3$, then $d=1$. (f) Deduce a necessary and sufficient condition for a triangle to be cartesian with coprime integer sides, and by geometrical observations derive an analogous characterization of triangles $ABC$ with coprime sides $BC=a$, $CA=b$, $AB=c$ and $\angle A=\frac\pi3$.
