Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle, $H$ is its orthocenter. $\overrightarrow{AH},\overrightarrow{BH},\overrightarrow{CH}$ intersect $\triangle ABC$'s circumcircle at $A',B',C'$ respectively. Find the range (minimum value and the maximum upper bound) of $$\dfrac{AH}{AA'}+\dfrac{BH}{BB'}+\dfrac{CH}{CC'}$$

Let $ x_1, \ldots, x_n$ be $ n>1$ real numbers satisfying $ A\equal{}\left |\sum^n_{i\equal{}1}x_i\right |\not \equal{}0$ and $ B\equal{}\max_{1\leq i<j\leq n}|x_j\minus{}x_i|\not \equal{}0$. Prove that for any $ n$ vectors $ \vec{\alpha_i}$ in the plane, there exists a permutation $ (k_1, \ldots, k_n)$ of the numbers $ (1, \ldots, n)$ such that \[ \left |\sum_{i\equal{}1}^nx_{k_i}\vec{\alpha_i}\right | \geq \dfrac{AB}{2A\plus{}B}\max_{1\leq i\leq n}|\alpha_i|.\]

In the plane $n$ segments with lengths $a_1, a_2, \dots , a_n$ are drawn. Every ray beginning at the point $O$ meets at least one of the segments. Let $h_i$ be the distance from $O$ to the $i$-th segment (not the line!) Prove the inequality \[\frac{a_1}{h_1}+\frac{a_2}{h_2} + \ldots + \frac{a_i}{h_i} \geqslant 2 \pi.\]

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with $\angle A+\angle D=90^\circ$ and $E$ the point of intersection of its diagonals. The line $\ell$ cuts the segments $AB$, $CD$, $AE$ and $ED$ in points $X,Y,Z,T$, respectively. Suppose that $AZ=CE$ and $BE=DT$. Prove that the length of the segment $XY$ is not larger than the diameter of the the circumcircle of $ETZ$. [i]Proposed by A. Kuznetsov, I. Frolov[/i]
