Suppose $L$ is the circle inscribed in the square $T_1$, and $T_2$ is the square inscribed in $L$, so that vertices of $T_1$ lie on the straight lines containing the sides of $T_2$. Find the angles of the convex octagon whose vertices are at the tangency points of $L$ with the sides of $T_1$ and at the vertices of $T_2$. (S Markelov)

We are given the square $ABCD$. On sides $AB$ and $CD$ we are given points $ K$ and $L$ respectively, and on segment $KL$ we are given point $M$ . Prove that the second intersection point (i.e. the one other than $M$) of the intersection points of circles circumscribed around triangles $AKM$ and $MLC$ lies on the diagonal $AC$. (V . N .

Turki has divided a square into finitely many white and green rectangles, each with sides parallel to the sides of the square. Within each white rectangle, he writes down its width divided by its height. Within each green rectangle, he writes down its height divided by its width. Finally, he calculates $S$, the sum of these numbers. If the total area of white rectangles equals the total area of green rectangles, determine the minimum possible value of $S$.

Let $ABCD$ be a square with circumcircle $\Gamma_1$. Let $P$ be a point on the arc $AC$ that also contains $B$. A circle $\Gamma_2$ touches $\Gamma_1$ in $P$ and also touches the diagonal $AC$ in $Q$. Let $R$ be a point on $\Gamma_2$ such that the line $DR$ touches $\Gamma_2$. Proof that $|DR| = |DA|$.

Let $ABCD$ be a unit square and let $E$ and $F$ be points inside $ABCD$ such that the line containing $\overline{EF}$ is parallel to $\overline{AB}$. Point $E$ is closer to $\overline{AD}$ than point $F$ is to $\overline{AD}$. The line containing $\overline{EF}$ also bisects the square into two rectangles of equal area. Suppose $[AEF B] = [DEFC] = 2[AED] = 2[BFC]$. The length of segment $\overline{EF}$ can be expressed as $m/n$ , where m and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.

The numbers $1$ to $n^2$ are written in an n×n squared paper in the usual ordering. Any sequence of right and downwards steps from a square to an adjacent one (by side) starting at square $1$ and ending at square $n^2$ is called a path. Denote by $L(C)$ the sum of the numbers through which path $C$ goes. (a) For a fixed $n$, let $M$ and $m$ be the largest and smallest $L(C)$ possible. Prove that $M-m$ is a perfect cube. (b) Prove that for no $n$ can one find a path $C$ with $L(C ) = 1996$.

In the figure, $[ABCD]$ is a square of side $1$. The points $E, F, G$ and $H$ are such that $[AFB], [BGC], [CHD]$ and $[DEA]$ are right-angled triangles. Knowing that the circles inscribed in each of these triangles and the circle inscribed in the square $[EFGH]$ has all the same radius, what is the measure of the radius of the circles?
