There are $20$ people in a certain community. $10$ of them speak English, $10$ of them speak German, and $10$ of them speak French. We call a [i]committee[/i] to a $3$-subset of this community if there is at least one who speaks English, at least one who speaks German, and at least one who speaks French in this subset. At most how many commitees are there in this community?

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, consider non-negative valued functions $f$ on $\{1,2, \cdots , n\}$ satisfying $f(i) \geqslant f(j)$ for $i>j$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{n} (i+ f(i))=2023.$ Choose $n$ such that $\sum_{i=1}^{n} f(i)$ is at least. How many such functions exist in that case?

The function Æ’. which is defined for all real numbers satisfies:
$$f(x+y)+f(x-y)=2f(x)+2f(y)$$
Prove that $f(0) = 0$, $f(-x) = f(x)$, $f(2x) = 4 f (x)$, $$f(x + y + z) = f(x + y) + f(y + z) + f(z + x) -f(x) - f(y) -f(z).$$

A pair of positive integers $m, n$ is called [i]guerrera[/i], if there exists positive integers $a, b, c, d$ such that $m=ab$, $n=cd$ and $a+b=c+d$. For example the pair $8, 9$ is [i]guerrera[/i] cause $8= 4 \cdot 2$, $9= 3 \cdot 3$ and $4+2=3+3$. We paint the positive integers if the following order:
We start painting the numbers $3$ and $5$. If a positive integer $x$ is not painted and a positive $y$ is painted such that the pair $x, y$ is [i]guerrera[/i], we paint $x$.
Find all positive integers $x$ that can be painted.

A board that has some of its squares painted black is called [i]acceptable [/i] if there are no four black squares that form a $2 \times 2$ subboard. Find the largest real number $\lambda$ such that for every positive integer $n$ the following proposition holds: mercy: if an $n \times n$ board is acceptable and has fewer than $\lambda n^2$ dark squares, then an additional square black can be painted so that the board is still acceptable.

On the last afternoon of the Kubik family vacation, Michael puts down a copy of $\textit{Mathematical Olympiad Challenges}$ and goes out to play tennis. Wendy notices the book and decides to see if there are a few problems in it that she can solve. She decides to focus her energy on one problem in particular:
\[\begin{array}{l}\text{Given 69 distinct positive integers not exceeding 100, prove that one can}\\\text{choose four of them }a,b,c,d\text{ such that }a<b<c\text{ and } a+b+c=d. \text{ Is this}\\\text{statement true for 68 numbers?}\end{array}\]
After some time working on the problem, Wendy finally feels like she has a grip on the solution. When Michael returns, she explains her solutions to him. "Well done!" he tells her. "Now, see if you can solve this generalization. Consider the set \[S=\{1,2,3,\ldots,2007,2008\}.\] Find the smallest value of $t$ such that given any subset $T$ of $S$ where $|T|=t$, then there are necessarily distinct $a,b,c,d\in T$ for which $a+b+c=d$." Find the answer to Michael's generalization.

Several zeros, ones and twos are written on the blackboard. An anonymous clean in turn pairs of different numbers, writing, instead of cleaned, the number not equal to each. ($0$ instead of pair $\{1,2\}, 1$ instead of $\{0,2\}, 2$ instead of $\{0,1\}$). Prove that if there remains one number only, it does not depend on the processing order.

A triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a circle $\omega$.
A variable line $\ell$ chosen parallel to $BC$ meets segments $AB$, $AC$ at points $D$, $E$ respectively, and meets $\omega$ at points $K$, $L$ (where $D$ lies between $K$ and $E$).
Circle $\gamma_1$ is tangent to the segments $KD$ and $BD$ and also tangent to $\omega$, while circle $\gamma_2$ is tangent to the segments $LE$ and $CE$ and also tangent to $\omega$.
Determine the locus, as $\ell$ varies, of the meeting point of the common inner tangents to $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$.
