Let $\omega$ denote the circumscribed circle of triangle $ABC$, $I$ be its incenter, and $K$ be any point on arc $AC$ of $\omega$ not containing $B$. Point $P$ is symmetric to $I$ with respect to point $K$. Point $T$ on arc $AC$ of $\omega$ containing point $B$ is such that $\angle KCT = \angle PCI$. Show that the bisectors of angles $AKC$ and $ATC$ meet on line $CI$. [i](Proposed by Anton Trygub)[/i]

Three distinct points $A$, $B$, and $C$ are fixed on a line in this order. Let $\Gamma$ be a circle passing through $A$ and $C$ whose center does not lie on the line $AC$. Denote by $P$ the intersection of the tangents to $\Gamma$ at $A$ and $C$. Suppose $\Gamma$ meets the segment $PB$ at $Q$. Prove that the intersection of the bisector of $\angle AQC$ and the line $AC$ does not depend on the choice of $\Gamma$.

Let $a_1<a_2<...<a_t$ be $t$ given positive integers where no three form an arithmetic progression. For $k=t,t+1,...$ define $a_{k+1}$ to be the smallest positive integer larger than $a_k$ satisfying the condition that no three of $a_1,a_2,...,a_{k+1}$ form an arithmetic progression. For any $x\in\mathbb{R}^+$ define $A(x)$ to be the number of terms in $\{a_i\}_{i\ge 1}$ that are at most $x$. Show that there exist $c>1$ and $K>0$ such that $A(x)\ge c\sqrt{x}$ for any $x>K$.

There are $n$ cards numbered and stacked in increasing order from up to down (i.e. the card in the top is the number 1, the second is the 2, and so on...). With this deck, the next steps are followed: -the first card (from the top) is put in the bottom of the deck. -the second card (from the top) is taken away of the deck. -the third card (from the top) is put in the bottom of the deck. -the fourth card (from the top) is taken away of the deck. - ... The proccess goes on always the same way: the card in the top is put at the end of the deck and the next is taken away of the deck, until just one card is left. Determine which is that card.

For an integer $n > 0$, denote by $\mathcal F(n)$ the set of integers $m > 0$ for which the polynomial $p(x) = x^2 + mx + n$ has an integer root. [list=a] [*] Let $S$ denote the set of integers $n > 0$ for which $\mathcal F(n)$ contains two consecutive integers. Show that $S$ is infinite but \[ \sum_{n \in S} \frac 1n \le 1. \] [*] Prove that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\mathcal F(n)$ contains three consecutive integers.

Suppose $ \,G\,$ is a connected graph with $ \,k\,$ edges. Prove that it is possible to label the edges $ 1,2,\ldots ,k\,$ in such a way that at each vertex which belongs to two or more edges, the greatest common divisor of the integers labeling those edges is equal to 1. [b]Note: Graph-Definition[/b]. A [b]graph[/b] consists of a set of points, called vertices, together with a set of edges joining certain pairs of distinct vertices. Each pair of vertices $ \,u,v\,$ belongs to at most one edge. The graph $ G$ is connected if for each pair of distinct vertices $ \,x,y\,$ there is some sequence of vertices $ \,x \equal{} v_{0},v_{1},v_{2},\cdots ,v_{m} \equal{} y\,$ such that each pair $ \,v_{i},v_{i \plus{} 1}\;(0\leq i < m)\,$ is joined by an edge of $ \,G$.

In the plane we have $16$ lines(not parallel and not concurrents), we have $120$ point(s) of intersections of this lines. Sebastian has to paint this $120$ points such that in each line all the painted points are with colour differents, find the minimum(quantity) of colour(s) that Sebastian needs to paint this points. If we have have $15$ lines(in this situation we have $105$ points), what's the minimum(quantity) of colour(s)?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB=9$, $BC=6$, and $AC=10$. $2$ points $D_1,D_2$ are labeled on $BC$ such that $BC$ is subdivided into $3$ equal segments; $4$ points $E_1,E_2,\dots,E_4$ are labeled on $AC$ such that $AC$ is subdivided into $5$ equal segments; and $8$ points $F_1,F_2,\dots,F_8$ are labeled on $AB$ such that $AB$ is subdivided into $9$ equal segments. All possible cevians are drawn from $A$ to each $D_i$; from $B$ to each $E_j$; and from $C$ to each $F_k$. At how many points in the interior of $\triangle ABC$ do at least $2$ cevians intersect?

Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer. Elwyn is given an $n\times n$ table filled with real numbers (each cell of the table contains exactly one number). We define a [i]rook set[/i] as a set of $n$ cells of the table situated in $n$ distinct rows as well as in n distinct columns. Assume that, for every rook set, the sum of $n$ numbers in the cells forming the set is nonnegative.\\ \\ By a move, Elwyn chooses a row, a column, and a real number $a,$ and then he adds $a$ to each number in the chosen row, and subtracts $a$ from each number in the chosen column (thus, the number at the intersection of the chosen row and column does not change). Prove that Elwyn can perform a sequence of moves so that all numbers in the table become nonnegative.

Pete has some trouble slicing a 20-inch (diameter) pizza. His first two cuts (from center to circumference of the pizza) make a 30º slice. He continues making cuts until he has gone around the whole pizza, each time trying to copy the angle of the previous slice but in fact adding 2º each time. That is, he makes adjacent slices of 30º, 32º, 34º, and so on. What is the area of the smallest slice?

Determine the smallest positive real number $ k$ with the following property. Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral, and let points $ A_1$, $ B_1$, $ C_1$, and $ D_1$ lie on sides $ AB$, $ BC$, $ CD$, and $ DA$, respectively. Consider the areas of triangles $ AA_1D_1$, $ BB_1A_1$, $ CC_1B_1$ and $ DD_1C_1$; let $ S$ be the sum of the two smallest ones, and let $ S_1$ be the area of quadrilateral $ A_1B_1C_1D_1$. Then we always have $ kS_1\ge S$. [i]Author: Zuming Feng and Oleg Golberg, USA[/i]
