Let $ABC$ be an acute, non-isosceles triangle with circumcenter $O$. Tangent lines to $(O)$ at $B,C$ meet at $T$. A line passes through $T$ cuts segments $AB$ at $D$ and cuts ray $CA$ at $E$. Take $M$ as midpoint of $DE$ and suppose that $MA$ cuts $(O)$ again at $K$. Prove that $(MKT)$ is tangent to $(O)$.

Let $N=\overline{abcd}$ be a positive integer with four digits. We name [i]plátano power[/i] to the smallest positive integer $p(N)=\overline{\alpha_1\alpha_2\ldots\alpha_k}$ that can be inserted between the numbers $\overline{ab}$ and $\overline{cd}$ in such a way the new number $\overline{ab\alpha_1\alpha_2\ldots\alpha_kcd}$ is divisible by $N$. Determine the value of $p(2025)$.

Pooki Sooki has $8$ hoodies, and he may wear any of them throughout a 7 day week. He changes his hoodie exactly $2$ times during the week, and will only do so at one of the $6$ midnights. Once he changes out of a hoodie, he never wears it for the rest of the week. The number of ways he can wear his hoodies throughout the week can be expressed as $\frac{8!}{2^k}$. Find $k$.

Consider a $25\times25$ chessboard with cells $C(i,j)$ for $1\le i,j\le25$. Find the smallest possible number $n$ of colors with which these cells can be colored subject to the following condition: For $1\le i<j\le25$ and for $1\le s<t\le25$, the three cells $C(i,s)$, $C(j,s)$, $C(j,t)$ carry at least two different colors. (Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Austria)

The sequence $(a_n)$ is defined with the recursion $a_{n + 1} = 5a^6_n + 3a^3_{n-1} + a^2_{n-2}$ for $n\ge 2$ and the set of initial values $\{a_0, a_1, a_2\} = \{2013, 2014, 2015\}$. (That is, the initial values are these three numbers in any order.) Show that the sequence contains no sixth power of a natural number.

2005 iTest, 17

On the $2004$ iTest, we defined an [i]optimus [/i] prime to be any prime number whose digits sum to a prime number. (For example, $83$ is an optimus prime, because it is a prime number and its digits sum to $11$, which is also a prime number.) Given that you select a prime number under $100$, find the probability that is it not an optimus prime.

2019 Balkan MO, 4

A grid consists of all points of the form $(m, n)$ where $m$ and $n$ are integers with $|m|\le 2019,|n| \le 2019$ and $|m| +|n| < 4038$. We call the points $(m,n)$ of the grid with either $|m| = 2019$ or $|n| = 2019$ the [i]boundary points[/i]. The four lines $x = \pm 2019$ and $y= \pm 2019$ are called [i]boundary lines[/i]. Two points in the grid are called [i]neighbours [/i] if the distance between them is equal to $1$. Anna and Bob play a game on this grid. Anna starts with a token at the point $(0,0)$. They take turns, with Bob playing first. 1) On each of his turns. Bob [i]deletes [/i] at most two boundary points on each boundary line. 2) On each of her turns. Anna makes exactly three [i]steps[/i] , where a [i]step [/i] consists of moving her token from its current point to any neighbouring point, which has not been deleted. As soon as Anna places her token on some boundary point which has not been deleted, the game is over and Anna wins. Does Anna have a winning strategy?

A rectangle $R$ is partitioned into smaller rectangles whose sides are parallel with the sides of $R$. Let $B$ be the set of all boundary points of all the rectangles in the partition, including the boundary of $R$. Let S be the set of all (closed) segments whose points belong to $B$. Let a maximal segment be a segment in $S$ which is not a proper subset of any other segment in $S$. Let an intersection point be a point in which $4$ rectangles of the partition meet. Let $m$ be the number of maximal segments, $i$ the number of intersection points and $r$ the number of rectangles. Prove that $m + i = r + 3$.

There are two bowls on the table, in one there are $p$, in the other $q$ stones ($p, q \in N*$ ). Two players $A$ and $B$ take turns playing, starting with $A$. Who's turn: $\bullet$ takes a stone from one of the bowls $\bullet$or removes one stone from each bowl $\bullet$ or puts a stone from one of the bowls into the other. Whoever takes the last stone wins. Under what conditions can $A$ and under what conditions can $B$ force the win? The answer must be justified.

Nicolas is planning to send a package to his friend Anton, who is a stamp collector. To pay for the postage, Nicolas would like to cover the package with a large number of stamps. Suppose he has a collection of 5-cent, 10-cent, and 25-cent stamps, with exactly 20 of each type. What is the greatest number of stamps Nicolas can use to make exactly $\$7.10$ in postage? (Note: The amount $\$7.10$ corresponds to 7 dollars and 10 cents. One dollar is worth 100 cents.) $\textbf{(A)}\ 45 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 46 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 51 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 54 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 55$
