Let $ABC$ be a triangle (right in $B$) inscribed in a semi-circumference of diameter $AC=10$. Determine the distance of the vertice $B$ to the side $AC$ if the median corresponding to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the sides of the triangle.

Let $n\ge 3$ be an integer. In a game there are $n$ boxes in a circular array. At the beginning, each box contains an object which can be rock, paper or scissors, in such a way that there are no two adjacent boxes with the same object, and each object appears in at least one box. Same as in the game, rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock. The game consists on moving objects from one box to another according to the following rule: [i]Two adjacent boxes and one object from each one are chosen in such a way that these are different, and we move the loser object to the box containing the winner object. For example, if we picked rock from box A and scissors from box B, we move scossors to box A.[/i] Prove that, applying the rule enough times, it is possible to move all the objects to the same box.

Let $\omega$ be a circle of radius $6$ with center $O$. Let $AB$ be a chord of $\omega$ having length $5$. For any real constant $c$, consider the locus $\mathcal{L}(c) $ of all points $P$ such that $PA^2 - PB^2 = c$. Find the largest value of $c$ for which the intersection of $\mathcal{L}(c)$ and $\omega$ consists of just one point.

Let $n \ge 2$ be a positive integer. An $n\times n$ grid of squares has been colored as a chessboard. Let a [i]move[/i] consist of picking a square from the board and then changing the colors to the opposite for all squares that lie in the same row as the chosen square, as well as for all squares that lie in the same column (the chosen square itself is also changed to the opposite color). Find all values of $n$ for which it is possible to make all squares of the grid be the same color in a finite sequence of moves.

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ square matrix with integer entries. Suppose that $p^2A^{p^2}=q^2A^{q^2}+r^2I_n$ for some positive integers $p,q,r$ where $r$ is odd and $p^2=q^2+r^2$. Prove that $|\det A|=1$. (Here $I_n$ means the $n\times n$ identity matrix.)

Albatross and Frankinfueter are playing again: each of them takes turns choosing one point in the plane with integer coordinates and paint it in his favorite color. Albatross plays first. Someone wins as soon as there is a square with all four corners in the are colored in their own color. Does anyone has a winning strategy and if so, who?

There is convex $n-$gon. We color all its sides and also diagonals, that goes out from one vertex. So we have $2n-3$ colored segments. We write positive numbers on colored segments. In one move we can take quadrilateral $ABCD$ such, that $AC$ and all sides are colored, then remove $AC$ and color $BD$ with number $\frac{xz+yt}{w}$, where $x,y,z,t,w$ - numbers on $AB,BC,CD,DA,AC$. After some moves we found that all colored segments are same that was at beginning. Prove, that they have same number that was at beginning.
