$p$ is a prime. Find all relatively prime positive integers $m$, $n$ such that \[ \frac{m}{n}+\frac{1}{p^2}=\frac{m+p}{n+p} \]

2012 Brazil Team Selection Test, 3

In chess, a king threatens another king if, and only if, they are on neighboring squares, whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally . Find the greatest amount of kings that can be placed on a $12 \times 12$ board such that each king threatens just another king. Here, we are not considering part colors, that is, consider that the king are all, say, white, and that kings of the same color can threaten each other.

The center of circle $\omega_1$ of radius $6$ lies on circle $\omega_2$ of radius $6$. The circles intersect at points $K$ and $W$. Let point $U$ lie on the major arc $\overarc{KW}$ of $\omega_2$, and point $I$ be the center of the largest circle that can be inscribed in $\triangle KWU$. If $KI+WI=11$, find $KI\cdot WI$.

Justine has two fair dice, one with sides labeled $1,2,\ldots, m$ and one with sides labeled $1,2,\ldots, n.$ She rolls both dice once. If $\tfrac{3}{20}$ is the probability that at least one of the numbers showing is at most 3, find the sum of all distinct possible values of $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Justin Stevens[/i]

$110$ teams participate in a volleyball tournament. Every team has played every other team exactly once (there are no ties in volleyball). Turns out that in any set of $55$ teams, there is one which has lost to no more than $4$ of the remaining $54$ teams.

2021 Olympic Revenge, 4

On a chessboard, Po controls a white queen and plays, in alternate turns, against an invisible black king (there are only those two pieces on the board). The king cannot move to a square where he would be in check, neither capture the queen. Every time the king makes a move, Po receives a message from beyond that tells which direction the king has moved (up, right, up-right, etc). His goal is to make the king unable to make a movement. Can Po reach his goal with at most $150$ moves, regardless the starting position of the pieces?

Call a polynomial $f$ with positive integer coefficients [i]triangle-compatible[/i] if any three coefficients of $f$ satisfy the triangle inequality. For instance, $3x^3 + 4x^2 + 6x + 5$ is triangle-compatible, but $3x^3 + 3x^2 + 6x + 5$ is not. Given that $f$ is a degree $20$ triangle-compatible polynomial with $-20$ as a root, what is the least possible value of $f(1)$?

2019 Iran MO (2nd Round), 5

Ali and Naqi are playing a game. At first, they have Polynomial $P(x) = 1+x^{1398}$. Naqi starts. In each turn one can choice natural number $k \in [0,1398]$ in his trun, and add $x^k$ to the polynomial. For example after 2 moves $P$ can be : $P(x) = x^{1398} + x^{300} + x^{100} +1$. If after Ali's turn, there exist $t \in R$ such that $P(t)<0$ then Ali loses the game. Prove that Ali can play forever somehow he never loses the game!
