2020/2021 Tournament of Towns, P2

Let us say that a pair of distinct positive integers is nice if their arithmetic mean and their geometric mean are both integer. Is it true that for each nice pair there is another nice pair with the same arithmetic mean? (The pairs $(a, b)$ and $(b, a)$ are considered to be the same pair.) [i]Boris Frenkin[/i]

In a regular 100-gon, 41 vertices are colored black and the remaining 59 vertices are colored white. Prove that there exist 24 convex quadrilaterals $Q_{1}, \ldots, Q_{24}$ whose corners are vertices of the 100-gon, so that [list] [*] the quadrilaterals $Q_{1}, \ldots, Q_{24}$ are pairwise disjoint, and [*] every quadrilateral $Q_{i}$ has three corners of one color and one corner of the other color.

Two circles are given for which there is a family of quadrilaterals circumscribed around the first circle and inscribed in the second. Let's denote by $a, b, c$ and $d{}$ the consecutive lengths of the sides of one of these quadrilaterals. Prove that the sum \[\frac{a}{c}+\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b}{d}+\frac{d}{b}\]does not depend on the choice of the quadrilateral. [i]Proposed by I. Weinstein[/i]
