Triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\omega$. Point $P$ lies inside triangle $ABC$.Lines $AP,BP$ and $CP$ intersect $\omega$ again at points $A_1$, $B_1$ and $C_1$ (other than $A, B, C$), respectively. The tangent lines to $\omega$ at $A_1$ and $B_1$ intersect at $C_2$.The tangent lines to $\omega$ at $B_1$ and $C_1$ intersect at $A_2$. The tangent lines to $\omega$ at $C_1$ and $A_1$ intersect at $B_2$. Prove that the lines $AA_2,BB_2$ and $CC_2$ are concurrent.

A $4\times 8$ grid is divided into $32$ unit squares. There are square tiles of sizes $1 \times 1$, $2 \times 2$, $3 \times 3$ and $4 \times 4$. The goal is to completely cover the grid using exactly $n$ of these tiles. [list=a] [*]Is it possible to do this if $n = 19$? [*]Is it possible to do this if $n = 14$? [*]Is it possible to do this if $n = 7$? [/list] [b]Note:[/b] The tiles cannot overlap or extend beyond the grid.

For every $x \ge -\frac{1}{e}\,$, there is a unique number $W(x) \ge -1$ such that \[ W(x) e^{W(x)} = x. \] The function $W$ is called Lambert's $W$ function. Let $y$ be the unique positive number such that \[ \frac{y}{\log_{2} y} = - \frac{3}{5} \, . \] The value of $y$ is of the form $e^{-W(z \ln 2)}$ for some rational number $z$. What is the value of $z$?

A square of side length $5$ is inscribed in a square of side length $7$. If we construct a grid of $1\times1$ squares for both squares, as shown to the right, then we fi nd that the two grids have $8$ lattice points in common. If we do the same construction by inscribing a square of side length $1489$ in a square of side length $2009$, and construct a grid of $1\times1$ squares in each large square, then how many lattice points will the two grids of $1\times1$ squares have in common?

Choose a point $A$ inside a circle of radius $R$. Construct a pair of perpendicular lines through $A$. Then rotate these lines through the same angle $V$ about $A$. The figure formed inside the circle, as the lines move from their initial to their final position, is in the form of a cross with its centre at $A$. Find the area of this cross.

Fill in the grid with the numbers 1 to 6 so that each number appears exactly once in each row and column. A horizontal gray line marks any cell when it is the middle cell of the three consecutive cells with the largest sum in that row. Similarly, a vertical gray line marks any cell when it is the middle of the three consecutive cells with the largest sum in that column. If there is a tie, multiple lines are drawn in the row or column. A cell can have both lines drawn, with the appearance of a plus sign.

1986 IMO Shortlist, 12

To each vertex of a regular pentagon an integer is assigned, so that the sum of all five numbers is positive. If three consecutive vertices are assigned the numbers $x,y,z$ respectively, and $y<0$, then the following operation is allowed: $x,y,z$ are replaced by $x+y,-y,z+y$ respectively. Such an operation is performed repeatedly as long as at least one of the five numbers is negative. Determine whether this procedure necessarily comes to an end after a finite number of steps.

[*] Then Ana and Bob alternate, starting with Ana, choosing three different permutations $\sigma_1$, $\sigma_2$ and $\sigma_3$ of $\{A, B, C\}$. [*] Finally, Ana draw a triangle $V_1V_2V_3$.
