[b]Q.[/b]Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$ and orthocenter $H$. Let $A_1,A_2$ lie on $\overline{BC}$ such that $\overline{IA_1}\perp \overline{IB},\overline{IA_2}\perp\overline{IC}$. $\overline{AA_1},\overline{AA_2}$ cut $\odot(ABC)$ again at $A_3,A_4$. $\overline{A_3A_4}$ cuts $\overline{BC}$ at $A_0$. Similarly, we have $B_0,C_0$. Prove that $A_0,B_0,C_0$ are collinear on a line which is perpendicular to line $\overline{IH}$.

Dima has written number $ 1/80!,\,1/81!,\,\dots,1/99!$ on $ 20$ infinite pieces of papers as decimal fractions (the following is written on the last piece: $ \frac {1}{99!} \equal{} 0{,}{00\dots 00}10715\dots$, 155 0-s before 1). Sasha wants to cut a fragment of $ N$ consecutive digits from one of pieces without the comma. For which maximal $ N$ he may do it so that Dima may not guess, from which piece Sasha has cut his fragment? [i]A. Golovanov[/i]

The price of an article was increased $ p\%$. Later the new price was decreased $ p\%$. If the last price was one dollar, the original price was: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac {1 \minus{} p^2}{200} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac {\sqrt {1 \minus{} p^2}}{100} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \text{one dollar} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 1 \minus{} \frac {p^2}{10000 \minus{} p^2}$ $ \textbf{(E)}\ \frac {10000}{10000 \minus{} p^2}$

Two players play the following game, using a round table $4$ feet in diameter, and a large pile of quarters. Each player can put in his turn one quarter on the table, but the one who cannot put a quarter (because there is no free space on the table) loses the game. Is there a winning strategy for the first or for the second player?
