Let $AXYZB$ be a convex pentagon inscribed in a semicircle with diameter $AB$, and let $K$ be the foot of the altitude from $Y$ to $AB$. Let $O$ denote the midpoint of $AB$ and $L$ be the intersection of $XZ$ with $YO$. Select a point $M$ on line $KL$ with $MA=MB$ , and finally, let $I$ be the reflection of $O$ across $XZ$.
Prove that if quadrilateral $XKOZ$ is cyclic then so is quadrilateral $YOMI$.

Triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $C$, and $D$ is the foot of the altitude from $C$ to $AB$. Points $L, M,$ and $N$ are the midpoints of segments $AD, DC,$ and $CA,$ respectively. If $CL = 7$ and $BM = 12,$ compute $BN^2$.

Your math friend Steven rolls five fair icosahedral dice (each of which is labelled $1,2, \dots,20$ on its sides). He conceals the results but tells you that at least half the rolls are $20$. Suspicious, you examine the first two dice and find that they show $20$ and $19$ in that order. Assuming that Steven is truthful, what is the probability that all three remaining concealed dice show $20$?

Consider an infinite sequence of positive integers in which each positive integer occurs exactly once. Let $\{a_n\}, n\ge 1$ be such a sequence. We call it [i]consistent [/i] if, for an arbitrary natural $k$ and every natural $n ,m$ such that $a_n <a_m$, the inequality $a_{kn} <a _{km}$ also holds. For example, the sequence $a_n = n$ is consistent .
a) Prove that there are consistent sequences other than $a_n = n$.
b) Are there consistent sequences for which $a_n \ne n, n\ge 2$ ?
c) Are there consistent sequences for which $a n \ne n, n\ge 1$ ?
