Let $O=(0,0)$ be the origin of the $xy$-plane. We say a lattice triangle $ABC$ is [i]marine[/i] if it has centroid $O$ and area $\tfrac{3}{2}$. Let $P$ be any point in the plane which is not a lattice point. Prove that $P$ lies in the interior of some marine triangle if and only if the line segment $\overline{OP}$ does not pass through any lattice points besides $O$. (A [i]lattice point[/i] is a point whose $x$-coordinate and $y$-coordinate are both integers. A [i]lattice triangle[/i] is a triangle whose vertices are lattice points.)

Each of $10$ identical jars contains some milk, up to $10$ percent of its capacity. At any time, we can tell the precise amount of milk in each jar. In a move, we may pour out an exact amount of milk from one jar into each of the other $9$ jars, the same amount in each case. Prove that we can have the same amount of milk in each jar after at most $10$ moves. [i](4 points)[/i]

Given triangle $ABC$. Point $B_1$ is marked on line $AC$ so that $AB = AB_1$, while $B_1$ and $C$ are on the same side of $A$. Through points $C$, $B_1$ and the foot of the bisector of angle $A$ of triangle $ABC$, a circle $\omega$ is drawn, intersecting for second time the circle circumscribed around triangle $ABC$, at point $Q$. Prove that the tangent drawn to $\omega$ at point $Q$ is parallel to $AC$.

Let $n$ be the product of the first $10$ primes, and let $$S=\sum_{xy\mid n} \varphi(x) \cdot y,$$ where $\varphi(x)$ denotes the number of positive integers less than or equal to $x$ that are relatively prime to $x$, and the sum is taken over ordered pairs $(x, y)$ of positive integers for which $xy$ divides $n$. Compute $\tfrac{S}{n}.$
