Let $ABC$ be a triangle, with $AB\neq AC$. Let $O_1$ and $O_2$ denote the centers of circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ with diameters $AB$ and $BC$, respectively. A point $P$ on segment $BC$ is chosen such that $AP$ intersects $\omega_1$ in point $Q$, with $Q\neq A$. Prove that $O_1$, $O_2$, and $Q$ are collinear if and only if $AP$ is the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$.
Given an infinite sequence of numbers $a_1, a_2, a_3, ...$ such that for each positive integer $k$, there exists positive integer $t$ for which $a_k = a_{k+t} = a_{k+2t} = ....$ Does this sequences must be periodic?
Zoey read $15$ books, one at a time. The first book took her $1$ day to read, the second book took her $2$ days to read, the third book took her $3$ days to read, and so on, with each book taking her $1$ more day to read than the previous book. Zoey finished the first book on a monday, and the second on a Wednesday. On what day the week did she finish her $15$th book? $\textbf{(A)}\ \text{Sunday}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \text{Monday}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \text{Wednesday}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \text{Friday}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{Saturday}$
In four years Kay will be twice as old as Gordon. Four years after that Shaun will be twice as old as Kay. Four years after that Shaun will be three times as old as Gordon. How many years old is Shaun now?

Consider all 1000-element subsets of the set $\{1,2,3,\dots,2015\}$. From each such subset choose the least element. The arithmetic mean of all of these least elements is $\tfrac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.
Danielle draws a point $O$ on the plane and a set of points $\mathcal P = \{P_0, P_1, \ldots , P_{2022}\}$ such that $$\angle{P_0OP_1} = \angle{P_1OP_2} = \cdots = \angle{P_{2021}OP_{2022}} = \alpha, \hspace{5pt} 0 < \alpha < \pi,$$where the angles are measured counterclockwise and for $0 \leq n \leq 2022$, $OP_n = r^n$, where $r > 1$ is a given real number. Then, obtain new sets of points in the plane by iterating the following process: given a set of points $\{A_0, A_1, \ldots , A_n\}$ in the plane, it is built a new set of points $\{B_0, B_1, \ldots , B_{n-1}\}$ such that $A_kA_{k+1}B_k$ is an equilateral triangle oriented clockwise for $0 \leq k \leq n - 1$. After carrying out the process $2022$ times from the set $P$, Danielle obtains a single point $X$. If the distance from $X$ to point $O$ is $d$, show that $$(r-1)^{2022} \leq d \leq (r+1)^{2022}.$$
We say that a four-digit number $\overline{abcd}$ ($a \ne 0$) is [i]pora [/i] if the following terms are true : $\bullet$ $a\ge b$ $\bullet$ $ab - cd = cd -ba$. For example, $2011$ is pora because $20-11 = 11-02$ Find all the numbers around.

Shenille attempted $30$ shots. How many points did she score? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 18\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 24\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 30\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 36 $

Consider the equation $x^2+(a+b+c)x+\lambda (ab+bc+ca)=0$ with $a,b,c>0$ and $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$. Prove that: a)If $\lambda\le \frac{3}{4}$, the equation has real roots. b)If $a,b,c$ are the side lengths of a triangle and $\lambda\ge 1$, then the equation doesn't have real roots. [i]***[/i]
How many subsets (including the empty-set) of $\{1, 2..., 6\}$ do not have three consecutive integers?
We divide the plane in squares shaped of side 1, tracing straight lines parallel bars to the coordinate axles. Each square is painted of black white or. To each as, we recolor all simultaneously squares, in accordance with the following rule: each square $Q$ adopts the color that more appears in the configuration of five squares indicated in the figure. The recoloration process is repeated indefinitely. Determine if exists an initial coloration with black a finite amount of squares such that always has at least one black square, not mattering how many seconds if had passed since the beginning of the process.
For a $\triangle ABC$ , let $A_1$ be the symmetric point of the intersection of angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ and $BC$ , where center of the symmetry is the midpoint of side $BC$, In the same way we define $B_1 $ ( on $AC$ ) and $C_1$ (on $AB$). Intersection of circumcircle of $\triangle A_1B_1C_1$ and line $AB$ is the set $\{Z,C_1 \}$, with $BC$ is the set $\{X,A_1\}$ and with $CA$ is the set $\{Y,B_1\}$. If the perpendicular lines from $X,Y,Z$ on $BC,CA$ and $ AB$ , respectively are concurrent , prove that $\triangle ABC$ is isosceles.
Serge and Tanya want to show Masha a magic trick. Serge leaves the room. Masha writes down a sequence $(a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n)$, where all $a_k$ equal $0$ or $1$. After that Tanya writes down a sequence $(b_1, b_2, \ldots , b_n)$, where all $b_k$ also equal $0$ or $1$. Then Masha either does nothing or says “Mutabor” and replaces both sequences: her own sequence by $(a_n, a_{n-1}, \ldots , a_1)$, and Tanya’s sequence by $(1 - b_n, 1 - b_{n-1}, \ldots , 1 - b_1)$. Masha’s sequence is covered by a napkin, and Serge is invited to the room. Serge should look at Tanya’s sequence and tell the sequence covered by the napkin. For what $n$ Serge and Tanya can prepare and show such a trick? Serge does not have to determine whether the word “Mutabor” has been pronounced.
Let $ ABC $ be a triangle and $ A_1,B_1,C_1 $ the projections of $ A,B,C $ on their opposite sides. Let $ A_2,A_3 $ be the projection of $ A_1 $ on $ AB, $ respectively on $ AC.
