Let $O$ be an interior point in the equilateral triangle $ABC$, of side length $a$. The lines $AO, BO$, and $CO$ intersect the sides of the triangle in the points $A_1, B_1$, and $C_1$. Show that $OA_1 + OB_1 + OC_1 < a$.
During chemistry labs, we oftentimes fold a disk-shaped filter paper twice, and then open up a flap of the quartercircle to form a cone shape, as in the diagram. What is the angle $\theta$, in degrees, of the bottom of the cone when we look at it from the side?

Let $J\subsetneq I\subseteq \mathbb R$ be non-empty open intervals, and let $f_1, f_2,\ldots$ be real polynomials satisfying the following conditions: [list] [*] $f_i(x)\ge 0$ for all $i\ge 1$ and $x\in I$, [*] $\sum\limits_{i=1}^\infty f_i(x)$ is finite for all $x\in I$, [*] $\sum\limits_{i=1}^\infty f_i(x)=1$ for all $x\in J$. [/list] Do these conditions imply that $\sum\limits_{i=1}^\infty f_i(x)=1$ also for all $x\in I$? [i]Proposed by András Imolay, Budapest[/i]
Let $ABC$ be a triangle inscribed in circle $(O)$ such that points $B, C$ are fixed, while $A$ moves on major arc $BC$ of $(O)$. The tangents through $B$ and $C$ to $(O)$ intersect at $P$.

Kelvin the Nanofrog is visiting his friend, Alex the Nanokat, who lives 483 nanometers away. On his trip to Alex's home, Kelvin travels at $k$ nanometers an hour, where $k$ is an integer, and completes the trip in an integer number of minutes. On his return journey, he travels slower by $7$ nanometers an hour, and completes the trip in an integer number of minutes. What is the smallest total number of minutes Kelvin could have spent traveling?
Use $[x]$ to represent the greatest integer no more than a real number $x$. Let $$S_n=\left[1+\frac12 +\frac13+...+\frac{1}{n}\right], \,\, (n =1,2,..,)$$ Prove that there are infinitely many $n$ such that $C_n^{S_n}$ is an even number.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcentre $O$. The points $D,E,F$ lie in the interiors of the sides $BC,CA,AB$ respectively, such that $DE$ is perpendicular to $CO$ and $DF$ is perpendicular to $BO$.

Prove that the lines $DK$ and $BC$ are perpendicular. [i]Netherlands (Merlijn Staps)[/i]

In a mathematical competition, some competitors are friends; friendship is mutual, that is, when $A$ is a friend of $B$, then $B$ is also a friend of $A$. We say that $n \geq 3$ different competitors $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n$ form a [i]weakly-friendly cycle [/i]if $A_i$ is not a friend of $A_{i+1}$ for $1 \leq i \leq n$ (where $A_{n+1} = A_1$), and there are no other pairs of non-friends among the components of the cycle. The following property is satisfied: "for every competitor $C$ and every weakly-friendly cycle $\mathcal{S}$ of competitors not including $C$, the set of competitors $D$ in $\mathcal{S}$ which are not friends of $C$ has at most one element" Prove that all competitors of this mathematical competition can be arranged into three rooms, such that every two competitors in the same room are friends.

Prove that the set of rational-valued, multiplicative arithmetical functions and the set of complex rational-valued, multiplicative arithmetical functions form isomorphic groups with the convolution operation $ f \circ g$ defined by \[{ (f \circ g)(n)= %Error. "displatmath" is a bad command. \sum_{d|n} f(d)g(\frac nd}).\] (We call a complex number $ \textit{complex rational}$, if its real and imaginary parts are both rational.) [i]B. Csakany[/i]
A ticket for the tram costs 1 leva. On the queue in front of the ticket seller are standing $n$ people with a banknote of 1 leva and $m$ people with a banknote of 2 leva. The ticket seller has no money in his cash deck so he can only sell a ticket to a buyer with a banknote of 2 leva, if he has at least 1 banknote of 1 leva. Determine the probability that the ticket seller could sell tickets to all of the people standing in the queue.
