Let $ M$ be the intersection of the diagonals of a convex quadrilateral $ ABCD$. Determine all such quadrilaterals for which there exists a line $ g$ that passes through $ M$ and intersects the side $ AB$ in $ P$ and the side $ CD$ in $ Q$, such that the four triangles $ APM$, $ BPM$, $ CQM$, $ DQM$ are similar.

Let $G$ be a graph with $400$ vertices. For any edge $AB$ we call [i]a cuttlefish[/i] the set of all edges from $A$ and $B$ (including $AB$). Each edge of the graph is assigned a value of $1$ or $-1$. It is known that the sum of edges at any cuttlefish is greater than or equal to $1$. Prove that the sum of the numbers at all edges is at least $-10^4$.

Given positive odd integers $m$ and $n$ where the set of all prime factors of $m$ is the same as the set of all prime factors $n$, and $n \vert m$. Let $a$ be an arbitrary integer which is relatively prime to $m$ and $n$. Prove that: \[ o_m(a) = o_n(a) \times \frac{m}{\gcd(m, a^{o_n(a)}-1)} \] where $o_k(a)$ denotes the smallest positive integer such that $a^{o_k(a)} \equiv 1$ (mod $k$) holds for some natural number $k > 1$.

In an exhibition where $2015$ paintings are shown, every participant picks a pair of paintings and writes it on the board. Then, Fake Artist (F.A.) chooses some of the pairs on the board, and marks one of the paintings in all of these pairs as "better". And then, Artist's Assistant (A.A.) comes and in his every move, he can mark $A$ better then $C$ in the pair $(A,C)$ on the board if for a painting $B$, $A$ is marked as better than $B$ and $B$ is marked as better than $C$ on the board. Find the minimum possible value of $k$ such that, for any pairs of paintings on the board, F.A can compare $k$ pairs of paintings making it possible for A.A to compare all of the remaining pairs of paintings. [b]P.S:[/b] A.A can decide $A_1>A_n$ if there is a sequence $ A_1 > A_2 > A_3 > \dots > A_{n-1} > A_n$ where $X>Y$ means painting $X$ is better than painting $Y$.

A $3\times2\times2$ right rectangular prism has one of its edges with length $3$ replaced with an edge of length $5$ parallel to the original edge. The other $11$ edges remain the same length, and the $6$ vertices that are not endpoints of the replaced edge remain in place. The resulting convex solid has $8$ faces, as shown below. Find the volume of the solid. [i]Proposed by Justin Hsieh[/i]
