Fixed points $B$ and $C$ are on a fixed circle $\omega$ and point $A$ varies on this circle. We call the midpoint of arc $BC$ (not containing $A$) $D$ and the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$, $H$. Line $DH$ intersects circle $\omega$ again in $K$. Tangent in $A$ to circumcircle of triangle $AKH$ intersects line $DH$ and circle $\omega$ again in $L$ and $M$ respectively. Prove that the value of $\frac{AL}{AM}$ is constant. [i]Proposed by Mehdi E'tesami Fard[/i]

In a $ 2\times 7$ board gridded in $1\times 1$ squares, the $24$ points that are vertices of the squares are considered. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/9/e/841f11ef9d6fc27cdbe7c91bab6d52d12180e8.gif[/img] Juan and Matías play on this board. Juan paints red the same number of points on each of the three horizontal lines. If Matthias can choose three red dots that are vertices of an acute triangle, Matthias wins the game. What is the maximum number of dots Juan can color in to make sure Matías doesn't win? (For the number found, give an example of coloring that prevents Matías from winning and justify why if the number is greater, Matías can always win.)

Suppose $ABC$ is a triangle with $M$ the midpoint of $BC$. Suppose that $AM$ intersects the incircle at $K,L$. We draw parallel line from $K$ and $L$ to $BC$ and name their second intersection point with incircle $X$ and $Y$. Suppose that $AX$ and $AY$ intersect $BC$ at $P$ and $Q$. Prove that $BP=CQ$.

Al and Bill play a game involving a fair six-sided die. The die is rolled until either there is a number less than $5$ rolled on consecutive tosses, or there is a number greater than $4$ on consecutive tosses. Al wins if the last roll is a $5$ or $6$. Bill wins if the last roll is a $2$ or lower. Let $m$ and $n$ be relatively prime positive integers such that $m/n$ is the probability that Bill wins. Find the value of $m+n$.

The Nationwide Basketball Society (NBS) has $8001$ teams, numbered $2000$ through $10000$. For each $n$, team $n$ has $n+1$ players, and in a sheer coincidence, this year each player attempted $n$ shots and on team $n$, exactly one player made $0$ shots, one player made $1$ shot, . . ., one player made $n$ shots. A player's [i]field goal percentage[/i] is defined as the percentage of shots the player made, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (For instance, $32.45\%$ rounds to $32.5\%$). A player in the NBS is randomly selected among those whose field goal percentage is $66.6\%$. If this player plays for team $k$, the probability that $k\geq 6000$ can be expressed as $\tfrac{p}{q}$ for relatively prime positive integers $p$ and $q$. Find $p+q$.

Consider a triangle $ABC$ and a point $D$ on its side $\overline{AB}$. Let $I$ be a point inside $\triangle ABC$ on the angle bisector of $ACB$. The second intersections of lines $AI$ and $CI$ with circle $ACD$ are $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Similarly, the second intersection of lines $BI$ and $CI$ with circle $BCD$ are $R$ and $S$, respectively. Show that if $P\neq Q$ and $R\neq S$, then lines $AB$, $PQ$ and $RS$ pass through a point or are parallel.

Circles $A$, $B$, and $C$ are externally tangent circles. Line $PQ$ is drawn such that $PQ$ is tangent to $A$ at $P$, tangent to $B$ at $Q$, and does not intersect with $C$. Circle $D$ is drawn such that it passes through the centers of $A$, $B$, and $C$. Let $R$ be the point on $D$ furthest from $PQ$. If $A$, $B$, and $C$ have radii $3$, $2$, and $1$, respectively, the area of triangle $PQR$ can be expressed in the form of $a+b\sqrt{c}$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are integers with $c$ not divisible by any prime square. What is $a + b + c$?
