Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. $PQRS$ is a rectangle with $P$ on $AB$, $Q$ and $R$ on $BC$, and $S$ on $AC$ such that $PQRS$ has the largest area among all rectangles $TUVW$ with $T$ on $AB$, $U$ and $V$ on $BC$, and $W$ on $AC$. If $D$ is the point on $BC$ such that $AD\perp BC$, then $PQ$ is the harmonic mean of $\frac{AD}{DB}$ and $\frac{AD}{DC}$. What is $BC$?
Note: The harmonic mean of two numbers $a$ and $b$ is the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of the reciprocals of $a$ and $b$.

2025 IMO leaders are discussing $100$ problems in a meeting. For each $i = 1, 2,\ldots , 100$, each leader will talk about the $i$-th problem for $i$-th minutes. The chair can assign one leader to talk about a problem of his choice, but he would have to wait for the leader to complete the entire talk of that problem before assigning the next leader and problem. The next leader can be the same leader. The next problem can be a different problem. Each leader’s longest idle time is the longest consecutive time that he is not talking.
Find the minimum positive integer $T$ so that the chair can ensure that the longest idle time for any leader does not exceed $T$.

Let $AD$ be the altitude $ABC$ of an acute triangle. On the line $AD$ are chosen different points $E$ and $F$ so that $|DE |= |DF|$ and point $E$ is in the interior of triangle $ABC$. The circumcircle of triangle $BEF$ intersects $BC$ and $BA$ for second time at points $K$ and $M$ respectively. The circumcircle of the triangle $CEF$ intersects the $CB$ and $CA$ for the second time at points $L$ and $N$ respectively. Prove that the lines $AD, KM$ and $LN$ intersect at one point.

For every $n\geq 3$, determine all the configurations of $n$ distinct points $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n$ in the plane, with the property that for any pair of distinct points $X_i$, $X_j$ there exists a permutation $\sigma$ of the integers $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, such that $\textrm{d}(X_i,X_k) = \textrm{d}(X_j,X_{\sigma(k)})$ for all $1\leq k \leq n$.
(We write $\textrm{d}(X,Y)$ to denote the distance between points $X$ and $Y$.)

We say that a positive integer N is [i]nice[/i] if it satisfies the following conditions:
$\bullet$ All of its digits are $1$ or $2$
$\bullet$ All numbers formed by $3$ consecutive digits of $N$ are distinct.
For example, $121222$ is nice, because the $4$ numbers formed by $3$ consecutive digits of $121222$, which are $121,212,122$ and $222$, are distinct. However, $12121$ is not nice. What is the largest quantity possible number of numbers that a nice number can have? What is the greatest nice number there is?

Let $S$ be a subset of $\{0,1,2,\dots ,9\}$. Suppose there is a positive integer $N$ such that for any integer $n>N$, one can find positive integers $a,b$ so that $n=a+b$ and all the digits in the decimal representations of $a,b$ (expressed without leading zeros) are in $S$.

As pointed out by Wizard_32, the original wording is:
Let $X=\{0,1,2,\dots,9\}.$ Let $S \subset X$ be such that any positive integer $n$ can be written as $p+q$ where the non-negative integers $p, q$ have all their digits in $S.$ Find the smallest possible number of elements in $S.$
