Let triangle $ABC$ with incenter $I$ satisfy $AB = 3$, $AC = 4$, and $BC = 5$. Suppose that $D$ and $E$ lie on $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, such that $D$, $I$, and $E$ are collinear and $DE \perp AI$. Points $P$ and $Q$ lie on side $BC$ such that $IP = BP$ and $IQ = CQ$, and lines $DP$ and $EQ$ meet at $S$. Compute $SI^2$.

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle having sides of length 1, and let $P$ be a point in the interior of $\Delta ABC$ such that $\angle ABP = 15 ^\circ$. Find, with proof, the minimum possible value of $AP + BP + CP$. ([b]Comment:[/b] In fact this question is incorrect, unfortunately. A more reasonable problem: Prove that $AP + BP + CP \ge \sqrt{3}$.)

Let \( A \) be a set of 2025 positive real numbers. For a subset \( T \subseteq A \), define \( M_T \) as the median of \( T \) when all elements of \( T \) are arranged in increasing order, with the convention that \( M_\emptyset = 0 \). Define \[ P(A) = \sum_{\substack{T \subseteq A \\ |T| \text{ odd}}} M_T, \quad Q(A) = \sum_{\substack{T \subseteq A \\ |T| \text{ even}}} M_T. \] Find the smallest real number \( C \) such that for any set \( A \) of 2025 positive real numbers, the following inequality holds: \[ P(A) - Q(A) \leq C \cdot \max(A), \] where \(\max(A)\) denotes the largest element in \( A \).

Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Sisyphus performs a sequence of turns on a board consisting of $n + 1$ squares in a row, numbered $0$ to $n$ from left to right. Initially, $n$ stones are put into square $0$, and the other squares are empty. At every turn, Sisyphus chooses any nonempty square, say with $k$ stones, takes one of these stones and moves it to the right by at most $k$ squares (the stone should say within the board). Sisyphus' aim is to move all $n$ stones to square $n$. Prove that Sisyphus cannot reach the aim in less than \[ \left \lceil \frac{n}{1} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{2} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{3} \right \rceil + \dots + \left \lceil \frac{n}{n} \right \rceil \] turns. (As usual, $\lceil x \rceil$ stands for the least integer not smaller than $x$. )

A bus route consists of a circular road of circumference 10 miles and a straight road of length 1 mile which runs from a terminus to the point $Q$ on the circular road (see diagram). [img]6763[/img] It is served by two buses, each of which requires 20 minutes for the round trip. Bus No. 1, upon leaving the terminus, travels along the straight road, once around the circle clockwise and returns along the straight road to the terminus. Bus No. 2, reaching the terminus 10 minutes after Bus No. 1, has a similar route except that it proceeds counterclockwise around the circle. Both buses run continuously and do not wait at any point on the route except for a negligible amount of time to pick up and discharge passengers. A man plans to wait at a point $P$ which is $x$ miles ($0\le x < 12$) from the terminus along the route of Bus No. 1 and travel to the terminus on one of the buses. Assuming that he chooses to board that bus which will bring him to his destination at the earliest moment, there is a maximum time $w(x)$ that his journey (waiting plus travel time) could take. Find $w(2)$; find $w(4)$. For what value of $x$ will the time $w(x)$ be the longest? Sketch a graph of $y = w(x)$ for $0\le x < 12$.

The center of the inscribed circle of triangle $ABC$ is $I$. Let $e$ be the perpendicular line on $CI$ passing through $I$. The line $e$ itnersects the side $AC$ at $A'$ and the side $BC$ at point $B'$. Let $A''$ be the symmetric point of $A$ wrt $A'$, $B''$ be the symmetric point of $B$ wrt $B'$.

Let $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{31}$ be real numbers. Then find the maximum value can $$\sum_{i,j=1,2,\dots,31, \; i\neq j}{\lceil x_ix_j \rceil }-30\left(\sum_{i=1,2,\dots,31}{\lfloor x_i^2 \rfloor } \right)$$ achieve. P.S.: For a real number $x$ we denote the smallest integer that does not subseed $x$ by $\lceil x \rceil$ and the biggest integer that does not exceed $x$ by $\lfloor x \rfloor$. For example $\lceil 2.7 \rceil=3$, $\lfloor 2.7 \rfloor=2$ and $\lfloor 4 \rfloor=\lceil 4 \rceil=4$

Let $n{}$ and $k{}$ be natural numbers, with $n > 2k$. In the deck of cards, each card contains a subset of the set $\{1, 2, \ldots , n\}$ consisting of at least $k+1$, but no more than $n-k$ elements. Each $m$-element set is written exactly on $m-k$ cards. Is it possible to split these cards into $n- 2k$ stacks so that in each stack all subsets on the cards are different, and any two of them intersect?
