Let $A'$ and $B'$ be feet of altitudes from $A$ and $B$, respectively, in acute-angled triangle $ABC$ ($AC\not = BC$). Circle $k$ contains points $A'$ and $B'$ and touches segment $AB$ in $D$. If triangles $ADA'$ and $BDB'$ have the same area, prove that \[\angle A'DB'= \angle ACB.\]
In triangle $ ABC$, sides $ a,b$ and $ c$ are opposite angles $ A,B$ and $ C$ respectively. $ AD$ bisects angle $ A$ and meets $ BC$ at $ D$. Then if $ x \equal{} \overline{CD}$ and $ y \equal{} \overline{BD}$ the correct proportion is:
$ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac {x}{a} \equal{} \frac {a}{b \plus{} c} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac {x}{b} \equal{} \frac {a}{a \plus{} c} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac {y}{c} \equal{} \frac {c}{b \plus{} c} \\
\textbf{(D)}\ \frac {y}{c} \equal{} \frac {a}{b \plus{} c} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac {x}{y} \equal{} \frac {c}{b}$

A circle that passes through the vertex $A$ of a rectangle $ABCD$ intersects the side $AB$ at a second point $E$ different from $B.$ A line passing through $B$ is tangent to this circle at a point $T,$ and the circle with center $B$ and passing through $T$ intersects the side $BC$ at the point $F.$ Show that if $\angle CDF= \angle BFE,$ then $\angle EDF=\angle CDF.$
One of the sides of the triangle is divided by the ratio $p: q$, and the other by $m: n: k$.

Chords $AB$ and $CD$, which do not intersect, are drawn in a circle. On the chord $AB$ or on its extension is taken the point $E$.

Alpha and Beta both took part in a two-day problem-solving competition. At the end of the second day, each had attempted questions worth a total of 500 points. Alpha scored 160 points out of 300 points attempted on the first day, and scored 140 points out of 200 points attempted on the second day. Beta who did not attempt 300 points on the first day, had a positive integer score on each of the two days, and Beta's daily success rate (points scored divided by points attempted) on each day was less than Alpha's on that day. Alpha's two-day success ratio was 300/500 = 3/5. The largest possible two-day success ratio that Beta could achieve is $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n$?
At a certain school, the ratio of boys to girls is $1:3$. Suppose that:
$\bullet$ Every boy has most $2013$ distinct girlfriends.
$\bullet$ Every girl has at least $n$ boyfriends.
$\bullet$ Friendship is mutual.
Compute the largest possible value of $n$.

In this diagram the center of the circle is $O$, the radius is $a$ inches, chord $EF$ is parallel to chord $CD, O, G, H, J$ are collinear, and $G$ is the midpoint of $CD$. Let $K$ (sq. in.) represent the area of trapezoid $CDFE$ and let $R$ (sq. in.) represent the area of rectangle $ELMF$. Then, as $CD$ and $EF$ are translated upward so that $OG$ increases toward the value $a$, while $JH$ always equals $HG$, the ratio $K:R$ become arbitrarily close to:

Two farmers agree that pigs are worth $ \$300$ and that goats are worth $ \$210$. When one farmer owes the other money, he pays the debt in pigs or goats, with ``change'' received in the form of goats or pigs as necessary. (For example, a $ \$390$ debt could be paid with two pigs, with one goat received in change.) What is the amount of the smallest positive debt that can be resolved in this way?

Points $A$ and $B$ are the endpoints of a diameter of a circle with center $C$. Points $D$ and $E$ lie on the same diameter so that $C$ bisects segment $\overline{DE}$. Let $F$ be a randomly chosen point within the circle. The probability that $\triangle DEF$ has a perimeter less than the length of the diameter of the circle is $\tfrac{17}{128}$. There are relatively prime positive integers m and n so that the ratio of $DE$ to $AB$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}.$ Find $m + n$.
