Let points $A_2, B_2, C_2$ be symmetric to $A_1,B_1,C_1$ wrt $BC,CA,AB$, respectively. Prove that the triangles $A_1B_1C_1$ and $A_2B_2C_2$ are similar.

In the land of knights (who always tell the truth) and liars (who always lie), 10 people sit at a round table, each at a vertex of an inscribed regular 10-gon, at least one of them is a liar. A traveler can stand at any point outside the table and ask the people: ”What is the distance from me to the nearest liar at the table?” After that each person at the table gives him an answer. What is the minimal number of questions the traveler has to ask to determine which people at the table are liars? (Both the people at the table and the traveler should be considered as points, and everyone can compute the distance between any two points) (10 points)

Let $a,b,c$ be integers different from zero. It is known that the equation $a \cdot x^2 + b \cdot y^2 + c \cdot z^2 = 0$ has a solution $(x,y,z)$ in integer numbers different from the solutions $x = y = z = 0.$ Prove that the equation \[ a \cdot x^2 + b \cdot y^2 + c \cdot z^2 = 1 \] has a solution in rational numbers.

In $ xyz$ space, consider two points $ P(1,\ 0,\ 1),\ Q(\minus{}1,\ 1,\ 0).$ Let $ S$ be the surface generated by rotation the line segment $ PQ$ about $ x$ axis. Answer the following questions.
(1) Find the volume of the solid bounded by the surface $ S$ and two planes $ x\equal{}1$ and $ x\equal{}\minus{}1$.
(2) Find the cross-section of the solid in (1) by the plane $ y\equal{}0$ to sketch the figure on the palne $ y\equal{}0$.
(3) Evaluate the definite integral $ \int_0^1 \sqrt{t^2\plus{}1}\ dt$ by substitution $ t\equal{}\frac{e^s\minus{}e^{\minus{}s}}{2}$.

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have pairwise different lengths. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of $ABCD$. The internal angle bisectors of $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$ meet $AC$ at $B_1$ and $D_1$, respectively. Let $O_B$ be the center of the circle which passes through $B$ and is tangent to $\overline{AC}$ at $D_1$. Similarly, let $O_D$ be the center of the circle which passes through $D$ and is tangent to $\overline{AC}$ at $B_1$.
Assume that $\overline{BD_1} \parallel \overline{DB_1}$. Prove that $O$ lies on the line $\overline{O_BO_D}$.

Fix an integer $n\geq4$. Let $C_n$ be the collection of all $n$–point configurations in the plane, every three points of which span a triangle of area strictly greater than $1.$ For each configuration $C\in C_n$ let $f(n,C)$ be the maximal size of a subconfiguration of $C$ subject to the condition that every pair of distinct points has distance strictly greater than $2.$ Determine the minimum value $f(n)$ which $f(n,C)$ achieves as $C$ runs through $C_n.$

Given is a natural number $n \geq 3$. What is the smallest possible value of $k$ if the following statements are true?
For every $n$ points $ A_i = (x_i, y_i) $ on a plane, where no three points are collinear, and for any real numbers $ c_i$ ($1 \le i \le n$) there exists such polynomial $P(x, y)$, the degree of which is no more than $k$, where $ P(x_i, y_i) = c_i $ for every $i = 1, \dots, n$.
(The degree of a nonzero monomial $ a_{i,j} x^{i}y^{j} $ is $i+j$, while the degree of polynomial $P(x, y)$ is the greatest degree of the degrees of its monomials.)

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Aavid has a card deck consisting of $ 2n$ cards, each colored with one of $n$ colors such that every color is on exactly two of the cards. The $2n$ cards are randomly ordered in a stack. Every second, he removes the top card from the stack and places the card into an area called the pit. If the other card of that color also happens to be in the pit, Aavid collects both cards of that color and discards them from the pit.
Of the $(2n)!$ possible original orderings of the deck, determine how many have the following property: at every point, the pit contains cards of at most two distinct colors.
