Let $N$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $A$ to $BC$. If $NP = NQ$ then prove that $N$ is also the centre of the circumcircle of $APQ$.

In the plane, three distinct non-collinear points $A,B,C$ are marked. In each step, Ege can do one of the following:
[list]
[*] For marked points $X,Y$, mark the reflection of $X$ across $Y$.
[*]For distinct marked points $X,Y,Z,T$ which do not form a parallelogram, mark the center of spiral similarity which takes segment $XY$ to $ZT$.
[*] For distinct marked points $X,Y,Z,T$, mark the intersection of lines $XY$ and $ZT$.
[/list]
No matter how the points $A,B,C$ are marked in the beginning, can Ege always mark, after finitely many moves,
a) The circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$.
b) The incenter of $\triangle ABC$.

Given a positive integer $n$, let $a_1,a_2,..,a_n$ be a sequence of nonnegative integers. A sequence of one or more consecutive terms of $a_1,a_2,..,a_n$ is called $dragon$ if their aritmetic mean is larger than 1. If a sequence is a $dragon$, then its first term is the $head$ and the last term is the $tail$. Suppose $a_1,a_2,..,a_n$ is the $head$ or/and $tail$ of some $dragon$ sequence; determine the minimum value of $a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_n$ in terms of $n$.

Alireza is currently standing at the point $(0, 0)$ in the $x-y$ plane. At any given time, Alireza can move from the point $(x, y)$ to the point $(x + 1, y)$ or the point $(x, y + 1)$. However, he cannot move to any point of the form $(x, y)$ where $y \equiv 2x\,\, (\mod \,\,5)$. Let $p_k$ be the number of paths Alireza can take starting from the point $(0, 0)$ to the point $(k + 1, 2k + 1)$. Evaluate the sum $$\sum^{\infty}_{k=1} \frac{p_k}{5^k}.$$.

(2) $ \mathbb{R} \setminus W$ is countable.

Given an infinite sheet of square ruled paper. Some of the squares contain a piece. A move consists of a piece jumping over a piece on a neighbouring square (which shares a side) onto an empty square and removing the piece jumped over. Initially, there are no pieces except in an $m x n$ rectangle ($m, n > 1$) which has a piece on each square. What is the smallest number of pieces that can be left after a series of moves?

Opposite sides of a convex hexagon are parallel. Let's call the "height" of such a hexagon a segment with ends on straight lines containing opposite sides and perpendicular to them. Prove that a circle can be circumscribed around this hexagon if and only if its "heights" can be parallelly moved so that they form a triangle.

Sir Alex plays the following game on a row of 9 cells. Initially, all cells are empty. In each move, Sir Alex is allowed to perform exactly one of the following two operations:
[list=1]
[*] Choose any number of the form $2^j$, where $j$ is a non-negative integer, and put it into an empty cell.
[*] Choose two (not necessarily adjacent) cells with the same number in them; denote that number by $2^j$. Replace the number in one of the cells with $2^{j+1}$ and erase the number in the other cell.
[/list]
At the end of the game, one cell contains $2^n$, where $n$ is a given positive integer, while the other cells are empty. Determine the maximum number of moves that Sir Alex could have made, in terms of $n$.
