Given an acute triangle $ABC$ with $AB<AC$, let $D$ be the foot of altitude from $A$ to $BC$ and let $M\neq D$ be a point on segment $BC$.$\,J$ and $K$ lie on $AC$ and $AB$ respectively such that $K,J,M$ lies on a common line perpendicular to $BC$. Let the circumcircles of $\triangle ABJ$ and $\triangle ACK$ intersect at $O$. Prove that $J,O,M$ are collinear if and only if $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$. [i]Proposed by Wong Jer Ren[/i]
Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are externally tangent to each other at $P$. A random line $\ell$ cuts $\omega_1$ at $A$ and $C$ and $\omega_2$ at $B$ and $D$ (points $A,C,B,D$ are in this order on $\ell$). Line $AP$ meets $\omega_2$ again at $E$ and line $BP$ meets $\omega_1$ again at $F$. Prove that the radical axis of circles $(PCD)$ and $(PEF)$ is parallel to $\ell$. \\ \\ [i](Vlad Robu)[/i]

Let $\{a_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of positive integers such that $a_1<a_2<a_3\cdots$ and all of primes are members of this sequence. Prove that for every $n<m$ \[\dfrac{1}{a_n} + \dfrac{1}{a_{n+1}} + \cdots + \dfrac{1}{a_m} \not \in \mathbb N\]
We consider $n$ real variables $x_i(1 \le i \le n)$, where $n$ is an integer and $n \ge 2$. The product of these variables will be denoted by $p$, their sum by $s$, and the sum of their squares by $S$. Furthermore, let $\alpha$ be a positive constant. We now study the inequality $ps \le S\alpha$. Prove that it holds for every $n$-tuple $(x_i)$ if and only if $\alpha=\frac{n+1}{2}$

Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ have centers $O_1$ and $O_2$, respectively, and intersect at points $M$ and $N$. The radii of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are $12$ and $15$, respectively, and $O_1O_2 = 18$. A point $X$ is chosen on segment $MN$. Line $O_1X$ intersects $\omega_2$ at points $A$ and $C$, where $A$ is inside $\omega_1$. Similarly, line $O_2X$ intersects $\omega_1$ at points $B$ and $D$, where $B$ is inside $\omega_2$. The perpendicular bisectors of segments $AB$ and $CD$ intersect at point $P$. Given that $PO_1 = 30$, find $PO_2^2$. [i]Proposed by Andrew Zhao[/i]

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle and $D$ the foot of the altitude from $A$ onto $BC$. A semicircle with diameter $BC$ intersects segments $AB,AC$ and $AD$ in the points $F,E$ resp. $X$. The circumcircles of the triangles $DEX$ and $DXF$ intersect $BC$ in $L$ resp. $N$ other than $D$. Prove $BN=LC$.
Katelyn is building an integer (in base $10$). She begins with $9$. Each step, she appends a randomly chosen digit from $0$ to $9$ inclusive to the right end of her current integer. She stops immediately when the current integer is $0$ or $1$ (mod $11$). The probability that the final integer ends up being $0$ (mod $11$) is $\tfrac ab$ for coprime positive integers $a$, $b$. Find $a + b$. [i]Proposed by Evan Chang[/i]
Let $\triangle ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length $s$ and $P$ a point in the interior of this triangle. Suppose that $PA$, $PB$, and $PC$ are the roots of the polynomial $t^3-18t^2+91t-89$. Then $s^2$ can be written in the form $m+\sqrt n$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $100m+n$.
