Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $O$. Points $P$ and $Q$ are interior to sides $CA$ and $AB$, respectively. Circle $\omega$ passes through the midpoints of segments $BP$, $CQ$, $PQ$. Prove that if line $PQ$ is tangent to circle $\omega$, then $OP = OQ$.

Let $\Omega$ and $O$ be the circumcircle and the circumcentre of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$ with $AB > BC$. The angle bisector of $\angle ABC$ intersects $\Omega$ at $M \ne B$. Let $\Gamma$ be the circle with diameter $BM$. The angle bisectors of $\angle AOB$ and $\angle BOC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at points $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. The point $R$ is chosen on the line $P Q$ so that $BR = MR$. Prove that $BR\parallel AC$. (Here we always assume that an angle bisector is a ray.) [i]Proposed by Sergey Berlov, Russia[/i]

Let $S_1, S_2, \ldots, S_{100}$ be finite sets of integers whose intersection is not empty. For each non-empty $T \subseteq \{S_1, S_2, \ldots, S_{100}\},$ the size of the intersection of the sets in $T$ is a multiple of the number of sets in $T$. What is the least possible number of elements that are in at least $50$ sets? [i]Proposed by Rishabh Das[/i]

Three runners, $X, Y$ and $Z$, participated in a race. $Z$ got held up at the start and began running last, while $Y$ was second from the start. During the race $Z$ exchanged positions with other contestants $6$ times, while $X$ did that $5$ times. It is known that $Y$ finished ahead of $X$. In what order did they finish?

Let $I$ be the centre of the inscribed circle of the non-isosceles triangle $ABC$, and let the circle touch the sides $BC, CA, AB$ at the points $A_1, B_1, C_1$ respectively. Prove that the centres of the circumcircles of $\vartriangle AIA_1,\vartriangle BIB_1$ and $\vartriangle CIC_1$ are collinear.

The evil sorceress Morgana lives in a square-shaped palace divided into a \(101 \times 101\) grid of rooms, each initially at a temperature of \(20^\circ\)C. Merlin attempts to freeze Morgana by casting a spell that permanently sets the central cell's temperature to \(0^\circ\)C. At each subsequent nanosecond, the following steps occur in order: 1. For every cell except the central one, the new temperature is computed as the arithmetic mean of the temperatures of its adjacent cells (those sharing a side). 2. All new temperatures (except the central cell) are updated simultaneously to the calculated values. Morgana can freely move between rooms but will freeze if all room temperatures drop below \(10^{-2025}\) degrees. The ice spell lasts for \(10^{75}\) nanoseconds, after which temperatures revert to their initial values. Will Merlin succeed in freezing Morgana?

There are $n$ fleas on an infinite sheet of triangulated paper. Initially the fleas are in different small triangles, all of which are inside some equilateral triangle consisting of $n^2$ small triangles. Once a second each flea jumps from its original triangle to one of the three small triangles having a common vertex but no common side with it. For which natural numbers $n$ does there exist an initial configuration such that after a finite number of jumps all the $n$ fleas can meet in a single small triangle?

Triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ has side lengths $AB = 8$, $BC = 15$, and $CA = 17$. Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are externally tangent to each other and within $\vartriangle ABC$. The radius of circle $\omega_2$ is four times the radius of circle $\omega_1$. Circle $\omega_1$ is tangent to $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{BC}$, and circle $\omega_2$ is tangent to $\overline{BC}$ and $\overline{CA}$. Compute the radius of circle $\omega_1$.

4. A triangle $A B C$ with angle $A$ equal to $60^{\circ}$ is given. Its incircle is tangent to side $A B$ at point $D$, while its excircle tangent to side $A C$, is tangent to the extension of side $A B$ at point $E$. Prove that the perpendicular to side $A C$, passing through point $D$, meets the incircle again at a point equidistant from points $E$ and $C$. (The excircle is the circle tangent to one side of the triangle and to the extensions of two other sides.) Azamat Mardanov
