The incircle of $\triangle{ABC}$ touches $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ at $D$, $E$, $F$, respectively. Point $P$ is chosen on $EF$ such that $AP$ is parallel to $BC$, and $AD$ intersects the incircle of $\triangle{ABC}$ again at $G$. Show that $\angle AGP = 90^{\circ}$.

An event occurs many years ago. It occurs periodically in $x$ consecutive years, then there is a break of $y$ consecutive years. We know that the event occured in $1964$, $1986$, $1996$, $2008$ and it didn't occur in $1976$, $1993$, $2006$, $2013$. What is the first year in that the event will occur again?
In $\triangle ABC$ with side lengths $AB=13$, $BC=14$, and $CA=15$, let $M$ be the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$. Let $P$ be the point on the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ such that $M$ is on $\overline{AP}$. There exists a unique point $Q$ on segment $\overline{AM}$ such that $\angle PBQ = \angle PCQ$. Then $AQ$ can be written as $\frac{m}{\sqrt{n}}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

At the junction of some countably infinite number of roads sits a greyhound. On one of the roads a hare runs, away from the junction. The only thing known is that the (maximal) speed of the hare is strictly less than the (maximal) speed of the greyhound (but not their precise ratio). Does the greyhound have a strategy for catching the hare in a finite amount of time? ([i]Dan Schwarz[/i])

Is it possible to arrange on a circle all composite positive integers not exceeding $ 10^6$, so that no two neighbouring numbers are coprime? [i]Author: L. Emelyanov[/i] [hide="Tuymaada 2008, Junior League, First Day, Problem 2."]Prove that all composite positive integers not exceeding $ 10^6$ may be arranged on a circle so that no two neighbouring numbers are coprime.

For a sequence $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ of real numbers, we define its $\textit{price}$ as \[\max_{1\le i\le n}|x_1+\cdots +x_i|.\] Given $n$ real numbers, Dave and George want to arrange them into a sequence with a low price. Diligent Dave checks all possible ways and finds the minimum possible price $D$. Greedy George, on the other hand, chooses $x_1$ such that $|x_1 |$ is as small as possible; among the remaining numbers, he chooses $x_2$ such that $|x_1 + x_2 |$ is as small as possible, and so on. Thus, in the $i$-th step he chooses $x_i$ among the remaining numbers so as to minimise the value of $|x_1 + x_2 + \cdots x_i |$. In each step, if several numbers provide the same value, George chooses one at random. Finally he gets a sequence with price $G$. Find the least possible constant $c$ such that for every positive integer $n$, for every collection of $n$ real numbers, and for every possible sequence that George might obtain, the resulting values satisfy the inequality $G\le cD$.

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a circle $\Omega$ and has incircle $\omega$. Points $P$ and $Q$ are in segments $AC$ and $AB$, respectively, such that $PQ$ is tangent to $\omega$.

Each one of three friends, Mário, João and Filipe, does one, and only one, of the following sports: football, basketball and swimming. None of these sports is done by more than one of the friends. Each one of the friends likes a certain kind of fruit: one likes oranges, another likes bananas and the other likes papayas. Find, for each one, which sport he plays and which fruit he prefers, given that: * Mário doesn't like oranges; * João doesn't play football; * The swimmer hates bananas; * The swimmer and the one who likes oranges do different sports; * The one who likes papayas and the footballer visit Filipe every Saturday.
$101$ blue and $101$ red points are selected on the plane, and no three lie on one straight line. The sum of the pairwise distances between the red points is $1$ (that is, the sum of the lengths of the segments with ends at red points), the sum of the pairwise distances between the blue ones is also $1$, and the sum of the lengths of the segments with the ends of different colors is $400$. Prove that you can draw a straight line separating everything red dots from all blue ones.
