Two triangles $ ABC$and $ A'B'C'$ are positioned in the space such that the length of every side of $ \triangle ABC$ is not less than $ a$, and the length of every side of $ \triangle A'B'C'$ is not less than $ a'$. Prove that one can select a vertex of $ \triangle ABC$ and a vertex of $ \triangle A'B'C'$ so that the distance between the two selected vertices is not less than $ \sqrt {\frac {a^2 \plus{} a'^2}{3}}$.

Let $C$ be a circle centered at point $O$, and let $P$ be a point in the interior of $C$. Let $Q$ be a point on the circumference of $C$ such that $PQ \perp OP$, and let $D$ be the circle with diameter $PQ$. Consider a circle tangent to $C$ whose circumference passes through point $P$. Let the curve $\Gamma$ be the locus of the centers of all such circles. If the area enclosed by $\Gamma$ is $1/100$ the area of $C$, then what is the ratio of the area of $C$ to the area of $D$?

A table with $m$ rows and $n$ columns is given. In each cell of the table an integer is written. Heisuke and Oscar play the following game: at the beginning of each turn, Heisuke may choose to swap any two columns. Then he chooses some rows and writes down a new row at the bottom of the table, with each cell consisting the sum of the corresponding cells in the chosen rows. Oscar then deletes one row chosen by Heisuke (so that at the end of each turn there are exactly $m$ rows). Then the next turn begins and so on. Prove that Heisuke can assure that, after some finite amount of turns, no number in the table is smaller than the number to the number on his right. Example: If we begin with $(1,1,1),(6,5,4),(9,8,7)$, Heisuke may choose to swap the first and third column to get $(1,1,1),(4,5,6),(7,8,9)$. Then he chooses the first and second rows to obtain $(1,1,1),(4,5,6),(7,8,9),(5,6,7)$. Then Oscar has to delete either the first or the second row, let's say the second. We get $(1,1,1),(7,8,9),(5,6,7)$ and Heisuke wins.

There are $ 12$ students in a classroom; $6$ of them are Democrats and 6 of them are Republicans. Every hour the students are randomly separated into four groups of three for political debates. If a group contains students from both parties, the minority in the group will change his/her political alignment to that of the majority at the end of the debate. What is the expected amount of time needed for all $ 12$ students to have the same political alignment, in hours?

Let $ ABC$ be a fixed triangle, and let $ A_1$, $ B_1$, $ C_1$ be the midpoints of sides $ BC$, $ CA$, $ AB$, respectively. Let $ P$ be a variable point on the circumcircle. Let lines $ PA_1$, $ PB_1$, $ PC_1$ meet the circumcircle again at $ A'$, $ B'$, $ C'$, respectively. Assume that the points $ A$, $ B$, $ C$, $ A'$, $ B'$, $ C'$ are distinct, and lines $ AA'$, $ BB'$, $ CC'$ form a triangle. Prove that the area of this triangle does not depend on $ P$.
