1984 IMO, 3

Given points $O$ and $A$ in the plane. Every point in the plane is colored with one of a finite number of colors. Given a point $X$ in the plane, the circle $C(X)$ has center $O$ and radius $OX+{\angle AOX\over OX}$, where $\angle AOX$ is measured in radians in the range $[0,2\pi)$. Prove that we can find a point $X$, not on $OA$, such that its color appears on the circumference of the circle $C(X)$.

Given triangle $ABC$ variable points $X$ and $Y$ are chosen on segments $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Point $Z$ on line $BC$ is chosen such that $ZX=ZY$. The circumcircle of $XYZ$ cuts the line $BC$ for the second time at $T$. Point $P$ is given on line $XY$ such that $\angle PTZ = 90^ \circ$. Point $Q$ is on the same side of line $XY$ with $A$ furthermore $\angle QXY = \angle ACP$ and $\angle QYX = \angle ABP$. Prove that the circumcircle of triangle $QXY$ passes through a fixed point (as $X$ and $Y$ vary).

$ABCDE$ is a cyclic convex pentagon, and $AC = BD = CE$. $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $X$, and $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at $Y$ . If $AX = 6$, $XY = 4$, and $Y E = 7$, then the area of pentagon $ABCDE$ can be written as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ , where $a$, $ b$, $c$ are integers, $c$ is positive, $b$ is square-free, and gcd$(a, c) = 1$. Find $100a + 10b + c$.

We call a pair of polygons, $p$ and $q$, [i]nesting[/i] if we can draw one inside the other, possibly after rotation and/or reflection; otherwise we call them [i]non-nesting[/i]. Let $p$ and $q$ be polygons. Prove that if we can find a polygon $r$, which is similar to $q$, such that $r$ and $p$ are non-nesting if and only if $p$ and $q$ are not similar.

Consider a coin with a head toss probability $p$ where $0 <p <1$ is fixed. Toss the coin several times, the tosses should be independent of each other. Denote by $A_i$ the event that of the $i$-th, $(i + 1)$-th, $\ldots$ , the $(i+m-1)$-th throws, exactly $T$ is the tail. For $T = 1$, calculate the conditional probability $\mathbb{P}(\bar{A_2} \bar{A_3} \cdots \bar{A_m} | A_1)$, and for $T = 2$, prove that $\mathbb{P}(\bar{A_2} \bar{A_3} \cdots \bar{A_m} | A_1)$ has approximation in the form $a+ \tfrac{b}{m} + \mathcal{O}(p^m)$ as $m \to \infty$.
