Two circles are given for which there is a family of quadrilaterals circumscribed around the first circle and inscribed in the second. Let's denote by $a, b, c$ and $d{}$ the consecutive lengths of the sides of one of these quadrilaterals. Prove that the sum \[\frac{a}{c}+\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b}{d}+\frac{d}{b}\]does not depend on the choice of the quadrilateral. [i]Proposed by I. Weinstein[/i]

The line $\ell$ is perpendicular to the side $AC$ of the acute triangle $ABC$ and intersects this side at point $K$, and the circumcribed circle $\vartriangle ABC$ at points $P$ and $T$ (point P on the other side of line $AC$, as the vertex $B$).

Let ${ABC}$ be an acute angled triangle, let ${O}$ be its circumcentre, and let ${D,E,F}$ be points on the sides ${BC,CA,AB}$, respectively. The circle ${(c_1)}$ of radius ${FA}$, centered at ${F}$, crosses the segment ${OA}$ at ${A'}$ and the circumcircle ${(c)}$ of the triangle ${ABC}$again at ${K}$. Similarly, the circle ${(c_2)}$ of radius $DB$, centered at $D$, crosses the segment $\left( OB \right)$ at ${B}'$ and the circle ${(c)}$ again at ${L}$. Finally, the circle ${(c_3)}$ of radius $EC$, centered at $E$, crosses the segment $\left( OC \right)$at ${C}'$ and the circle ${(c)}$ again at ${M}$. Prove that the quadrilaterals $BKF{A}',CLD{B}'$ and $AME{C}'$ are all cyclic, and their circumcircles share a common point. Evangelos Psychas (Greece)

A chord of a circle is perpendicular to a radius at the midpoint of the radius. The ratio of the area of the larger of the two regions into which the chord divides the circle to the smaller can be expressed in the form $\frac{a\pi+b\sqrt{c}}{d\pi-e\sqrt{f}}$, where $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$, $e$, and $f$ are positive integers, $a$ and $e$ are relatively prime, and neither $c$ nor $f$ is divisible by the square of any prime. Find the remainder when the product $abcdef$ is divided by 1000.

A game is played on a $23\times 23$ board. The first player controls two white chips which start in the bottom left and top right corners. The second player controls two black ones which start in bottom right and top left corners. The players move alternately. In each move, a player moves one of the chips under control to a square which shares a side with the square the chip is currently in. The first player wins if he can bring the white chips to squares which share a side with each other. Can the second player prevent the first player from winning?
