Tracey baked a square cake whose surface is dissected in a $ 10 \times 10$ grid. In some of the fields she wants to put a strawberry such that for each four fields that compose a rectangle whose edges run in parallel to the edges of the cake boundary there is at least one strawberry. What is the minimum number of required strawberries?

Let $A,B,C$ be different points on a circle such that $AB = AC$. Point $E$ lies on the segment $BC$, and $D \ne A$ is the intersection point of the circle and line $AE$. Show that the product $AE \cdot AD$ is independent of the choice of $E$.

If a square is intersected by another square equal to it but rotated by $45^o$ around its centre, each side is divided into three parts in a certain ratio $a : b : a$ (which one can compute). Make the following construction for an arbitrary convex quadrilateral: divide each of its sides into three parts in this same ratio $a : b : a$, and draw a line through the two division points neighbouring each vertex. Prove that the new quadrilateral bounded by the four drawn lines has the same area as the original one. (A. Savin, Moscow)

Quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in circle $\Gamma$ with center $O$. Point $I$ is the incenter of triangle $ABC$, and point $J$ is the incenter of the triangle $ABD$. Line $IJ$ intersects segments $AD, AC, BD, BC$ at points $P, M, N$ and, respectively $Q$. The perpendicular from $M$ to line $AC$ intersects the perpendicular from $N$ to line $BD$ at point $X$. The perpendicular from $P$ to line $AD$ intersects the perpendicular from $Q$ to line $BC$ at point $Y$. Prove that $X, O, Y$ are colinear.

The sides of a $10$ by $10$ square $ABCD$ are reflective on the inside. A beam of light enters the square via the vertex $A$ and heads to the point $P$ on $CD$ with $CP = 3$ and $PD = 7$. In $P$ it naturally reflects on the $CD$ side. The light beam can only leave the square via one of the angular points $A, B, C$ or $D$. What is the distance that the light beam travels within the square before it leaves the square again? By which vertex does that happen?
