We have an acute-angled triangle which is not isosceles. We denote the orthocenter, the circumcenter and the incenter of it by $H$, $O$, $I$ respectively. Prove that if a vertex of the triangle lies on the circle $HOI$, then there must be another vertex on this circle as well.

In triangle $ ABC$, internal bisector of angle $ A$ intersects with $ BC$ at $ D$. Let $ E$ be a point on $ \left[CB\right.$ such that $ \left|DE\right|\equal{}\left|DB\right|\plus{}\left|BE\right|$. The circle through $ A$, $ D$, $ E$ intersects $ AB$ at $ F$, again. If $ \left|BE\right|\equal{}\left|AC\right|\equal{}7$, $ \left|AD\right|\equal{}2\sqrt{7}$ and $ \left|AB\right|\equal{}5$, then $ \left|BF\right|$ is $\textbf{(A)}\ \frac {7\sqrt {5} }{5} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \sqrt {7} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2\sqrt {2} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 3 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \sqrt {10}$

Let $E$ be a finite set of points such that $E$ is not contained in a plane and no three points of $E$ are collinear. Show that at least one of the following alternatives holds: (i) $E$ contains five points that are vertices of a convex pyramid having no other points in common with $E;$ (ii) some plane contains exactly three points from $E.$

Four points $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$ lie on a circle $\omega$ such that $AB=BC=CD$. The tangent line to $\omega$ at point $C$ intersects the tangent line to $\omega$ at $A$ and the line $AD$ at $K$ and $L$. The circle $\omega$ and the circumcircle of triangle $KLA$ intersect again at $M$. Prove that $MA=ML$. [i]Proposed by Mahdi Etesamifard[/i]

The plan of a house has the shape of a capital $L$, obtained by suitably placing side-by-side four squares whose sides are $10$ metres long. The external walls of the house are $10$ metres high. The roof of the house has six faces, starting at the top of the six external walls, and each face forms an angle of $30^\circ$ with respect to a horizontal plane. Determine the volume of the house (that is, of the solid delimited by the six external walls, the six faces of the roof, and the base of the house).

For an olympiad geometry problem, Tina wants to draw an acute triangle whose angles each measure a multiple of $10^{\circ}$. She doesn't want her triangle to have any special properties, so none of the angles can measure $30^{\circ}$ or $60^{\circ}$, and the triangle should definitely not be isosceles. How many different triangles can Tina draw? (Similar triangles are considered the same.) [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]
