In $\triangle ABC$, $AB<AC$. $D$ and $P$ are the feet of the internal and external angle bisectors of $\angle BAC$, respectively. $M$ is the midpoint of segment $BC$, and $\omega$ is the circumcircle of $\triangle APD$. Suppose $Q$ is on the minor arc $AD$ of $\omega$ such that $MQ$ is tangent to $\omega$. $QB$ meets $\omega$ again at $R$, and the line through $R$ perpendicular to $BC$ meets $PQ$ at $S$. Prove $SD$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $\triangle QDM$.

For any odd prime $p$ and any integer $n,$ let $d_p (n) \in \{ 0,1, \dots, p-1 \}$ denote the remainder when $n$ is divided by $p.$ We say that $(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots)$ is a [i]p-sequence[/i], if $a_0$ is a positive integer coprime to $p,$ and $a_{n+1} =a_n + d_p (a_n)$ for $n \geqslant 0.$
(a) Do there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which there exist $p$-sequences $(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots)$ and $(b_0, b_1, b_2, \dots)$ such that $a_n >b_n$ for infinitely many $n,$ and $b_n > a_n$ for infinitely many $n?$
(b) Do there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which there exist $p$-sequences $(a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots)$ and $(b_0, b_1, b_2, \dots)$ such that $a_0 <b_0,$ but $a_n >b_n$ for all $n \geqslant 1?$

Two players by turn paint the vertices of triangles on the given picture each with his colour. At the end, each of small triangles is painted by the colour of the majority of its vertices. The winner is one who gets at least 6 triangles of his colour. If both players get at most 5, then it is a draw. Does any of them have winning strategy? If yes, then who wins?

Let $ p_1,\dots,p_k$ be prime numbers, and let $ S$ be the set of those integers whose all prime divisors are among $ p_1,\dots,p_k$. For a finite subset $ A$ of the integers let us denote by $ \mathcal G(A)$ the graph whose vertices are the elements of $ A$, and the edges are those pairs $ a,b\in A$ for which $ a \minus{} b\in S$. Does there exist for all $ m\geq 3$ an $ m$-element subset $ A$ of the integers such that
(i) $ \mathcal G(A)$ is complete?
(ii) $ \mathcal G(A)$ is connected, but all vertices have degree at most 2?

One base of a trapezoid is 100 units longer than the other base. The segment that joins the midpoints of the legs divides the trapezoid into two regions whose areas are in the ratio $2: 3.$ Let $x$ be the length of the segment joining the legs of the trapezoid that is parallel to the bases and that divides the trapezoid into two regions of equal area.

Juan and Pedro play alternately on the given grid. Each one in turn traces $1$ to $5$ routes different from the ones outlined above, that join $A$ with $B$, moving only to the right and upwards on the grid lines. Juan starts playing. The one who traces a route that passes through $C$ or $D$ loses. Prove that one of them can win regardless of how the other plays.
