Given two distinct points $A,B$ in the plane, for each point $C$ not on the line $AB$, we denote by $G$ and $I$ the centroid and incenter of the triangle $ABC$, respectively. (a) For $0<\alpha<\pi$, let $\Gamma$ be the set of points $C$ in the plane such that $\angle\left(\overrightarrow{CA},\overrightarrow{CB}\right)=\alpha+2k\pi$ as an oriented angle, where $k\in\mathbb Z$. If $C$ describes $\Gamma$, show that points $G$ and $I$ also descibre arcs of circles, and determine these circles. (b) Suppose that in addition $\frac\pi3<\alpha<\pi$. For which positions of $C$ in $\Gamma$ is $GI$ minimal? (c) Let $f(\alpha)$ denote the minimal $GI$ from the part (b). Give $f(\alpha)$ explicitly in terms of $a=AB$ and $\alpha$. Find the minimum value of $f(\alpha)$ for $\alpha\in\left(\frac\pi3,\pi\right)$.

$240$ students are participating a big performance show. They stand in a row and face to their coach. The coach askes them to count numbers from left to right, starting from $1$. (Of course their counts be like $1,2,3,...$)The coach askes them to remember their number and do the following action: First, if your number is divisible by $3$ then turn around. Then, if your number is divisible by $5$ then turn around. Finally, if your number is divisible by $7$ then turn around. (a) How many students are face to coach now? (b) What is the number of the $66^{\text{th}}$ student counting from left who is face to coach?

Concentric circles $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$ with radii $1$ and $100$, respectively, are drawn with center $O$. Points $A$ and $B$ are chosen independently at random on the circumferences of $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$, respectively. Denote by $\ell$ the tangent line to $\Omega_1$ passing through $A$, and denote by $P$ the reflection of $B$ across $\ell$. Compute the expected value of $OP^2$. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]

2017 Czech-Polish-Slovak Junior Match, 4

Bolek draw a trapezoid $ABCD$ trapezoid ($AB // CD$) on the board, with its midsegment line $EF$ in it. Point intersection of his diagonal $AC, BD$ denote by $P,$ and his rectangular projection on line $AB$ denote by $Q$. Lolek, wanting to tease Bolek, blotted from the board everything except segments $EF$ and $PQ$. When Bolek saw it, wanted to complete the drawing and draw the original trapezoid, but did not know how to do it. Can you help Bolek?

Consider a white 100×100 square. Several cells (not necessarily neighbouring) were painted black. In each row or column that contains some black cells their number is odd. Hence we may consider the middle black cell for this row or column (with equal numbers of black cells in both opposite directions). It so happened that all the middle black cells of such rows lie in different columns and all the middle black cells of the columns lie in different rows. a) Prove that there exists a cell that is both the middle black cell of its row and the middle black cell of its column. b) Is it true that any middle black cell of a row is also a middle black cell of its column?
