Let $H$ be the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the sides $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Assume that $H$ lies inside the quadrilateral $BMNC$ and that the circumcircles of triangles $BMH$ and $CNH$ are tangent to each other.

Let $F$ be the intersection point of $MK$ and $NL$ and let $J$ be the incenter of triangle $MHN$. Prove that $F J = F A$.

Let \( n, k \geq 1 \). In a school, there are \( n \) students and \( k \) clubs. Each student participates in at least one of the clubs. One day, a school uniform was established, which could be either blue or red. Each student chose only one of these colors. Every day, the principal visited one of the clubs, forcing all the students in it to switch the colors of the uniforms they wore. Assuming that the students are distributed in clubs in such a way that any initial choice of uniforms they make, after a certain number of days, it is possible to have at most one student with one of the colors. Show that \[ n \geq 2^{n-k-1} - 1. \]

Dürer explains art history to his students. The following gothic window is examined. Where the center of the arc of $BC$ is $A$, and similarly the center of the arc of $AC$ is $B$. The question is how much is the radius of the circle (radius marked $r$ in the figure).[img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/5/c/28e5ee47005bfde7f925908b519099d5e28d91.png[/img]

In a triangle $ABC$ with circumcircle $\Gamma$, $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$ and point $D$ lies on segment $MC$. Point $G$ lies on ray $\overrightarrow{BC}$ past $C$ such that $\frac{BC}{DC} = \frac{BG}{GC}$, and let $N$ be the midpoint of $DG$. The points $P$, $S$, and $T$ are defined as follows: [list = i] [*] Line $CA$ meets the circumcircle $\Gamma_1$ of triangle $AGD$ again at point $P$. [*] Line $PM$ meets $\Gamma_1$ again at $S$. [*] Line $PN$ meets the line through $A$ that is parallel to $BC$ at $Q$. Line $CQ$ meets $\Gamma$ again at $T$. [/list] Prove that the points $P$, $S$, $T$, and $C$ are concyclic.

Jacob and Aaron are playing a game in which Aaron is trying to guess the outcome of an unfair coin which shows heads $\tfrac{2}{3}$ of the time. Aaron randomly guesses ``heads'' $\tfrac{2}{3}$ of the time, and guesses ``tails'' the other $\tfrac{1}{3}$ of the time. If the probability that Aaron guesses correctly is $p$, compute $9000p$.

Suppose that a planet contains $\left(CCAMATHBONANZA_{71}\right)^{100}$ people ($100$ in decimal), where in base $71$ the digits $A,B,C,\ldots,Z$ represent the decimal numbers $10,11,12,\ldots,35$, respectively. Suppose that one person on this planet is snapping, and each time they snap, at least half of the current population disappears. Estimate the largest number of times that this person can snap without disappearing. An estimate of $E$ earns $2^{1-\frac{1}{200}\left|A-E\right|}$ points, where $A$ is the actual answer.

Professor Conway collects a total of $58$ midterms from the two sections of his introductory linear algebra course. He notices that the number of midterms from the smaller section is equal to the product of the digits of the number of midterms from his larger section.
