On the sides $AC$ and $AB$ of an acute $\triangle ABC$ are chosen points $M$ and $N$ respectively. Point $P$ is an intersection point of the segments $BM$ and $CN$ and point $Q$ is an inner point for the quadrilateral $ANPM$, for which $\angle BQC = 90^\circ$ and $\angle BQP = \angle BMQ$. If the quadrilateral $ANPM$ is inscribed in a circle, prove that $\angle QNC = \angle PQC$.

A pair of positive integers $(a,b)$ is called an [b]average couple[/b] if there exist positive integers $k$ and $c_1, \dots, c_k$ for which
\[\frac{c_1+c_2+\cdots+c_k}{k}=a\qquad \text{and} \qquad \frac{s(c_1)+s(c_2)+\cdots+s(c_k)}{k}=b\]
where $s(n)$ denotes the sum of digits of $n$ in decimal representation.
Find the number of average couples $(a,b)$ for which $a,b<10^{10}$.

An arbitrary point $M$ is selected in the interior of the segment $AB$. The square $AMCD$ and $MBEF$ are constructed on the same side of $AB$, with segments $AM$ and $MB$ as their respective bases. The circles circumscribed about these squares, with centers $P$ and $Q$, intersect at $M$ and also at another point $N$. Let $N'$ denote the point of intersection of the straight lines $AF$ and $BC$.
a) Prove that $N$ and $N'$ coincide;
b) Prove that the straight lines $MN$ pass through a fixed point $S$ independent of the choice of $M$;
c) Find the locus of the midpoints of the segments $PQ$ as $M$ varies between $A$ and $B$.

Among the $n$ inhabitants of an island, where $n$ is even, every two are either friends or enemies. Some day, the chief of the island orders that each inhabitant (including himself) makes and wears a necklace consisting of marbles, in such a way that two necklaces have a marble of the same type if and only if their owners are friends.
(a) Show that the chief’s order can be achieved by using $n^2/4$ different types of stones.
(b) Prove that this is not necessarily true with less than $n^2/4$ types.
