Alfred and Bonnie play a game in which they take turns tossing a fair coin. The winner of a game is the first person to obtain a head. Alfred and Bonnie play this game several times with the stipulation that the loser of a game goes first in the next game. Suppose that Alfred goes first in the first game, and that the probability that he wins the sixth game is $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What are the last three digits of $m + n$?

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle and let $d$ be a line such that $\Gamma$ and $d$ have no common points. Further, let $AB$ be a diameter of the circle $\Gamma$; assume that this diameter $AB$ is perpendicular to the line $d$, and the point $B$ is nearer to the line $d$ than the point $A$. Let $C$ be an arbitrary point on the circle $\Gamma$, different from the points $A$ and $B$. Let $D$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AC$ and $d$. One of the two tangents from the point $D$ to the circle $\Gamma$ touches this circle $\Gamma$ at a point $E$; hereby, we assume that the points $B$ and $E$ lie in the same halfplane with respect to the line $AC$. Denote by $F$ the point of intersection of the lines $BE$ and $d$. Let the line $AF$ intersect the circle $\Gamma$ at a point $G$, different from $A$. Prove that the reflection of the point $G$ in the line $AB$ lies on the line $CF$.

We have $2015$ prisinoers.The king gives everyone a hat coloured in one of $5$ colors.Everyone sees all hats expect his own.Now,the King orders them in a line(a prisioner can see all guys behind and in front of him).The king asks the prisinoers one by one does he know the color of his hat.If he answers [b]NO[/b],then he is killed.If he answers [b]YES[/b],then answers which color is his hat,if his answers is true,he goes to freedom,if not,he is killed.All the prisinors can hear did he answer [b]YES[/b] or [b]NO[/b],but if he answered [b]YES[/b],they don't know what did he answered(he is killed in public).They can think of a strategy before the King comes,but after that they can't comunicate.What is the largest number of prisinors we can guarentee that can survive?

The numbers $\frac 32$, $\frac 43$ and $\frac 65$ are intially written on the blackboard. A move consists of erasing one of the numbers from the blackboard, call it $a$, and replacing it with $bc-b-c+2$, where $b,c$ are the other two numbers currently written on the blackboard. Is it possible that $\frac{1000}{999}$ would eventually appear on the blackboard? What about $\frac{113}{108}$? [i] (Andrei Bâra)[/i]

The figure shows a (convex) polygon with nine vertices. The six diagonals which have been drawn dissect the polygon into the seven triangles: $P_{0}P_{1}P_{3}$, $P_{0}P_{3}P_{6}$, $P_{0}P_{6}P_{7}$, $P_{0}P_{7}P_{8}$, $P_{1}P_{2}P_{3}$, $P_{3}P_{4}P_{6}$, $P_{4}P_{5}P_{6}$.
