Given an acute triangle $ABC$, $D$ is a point on $BC$. A circle with diameter $BD$ intersects line $AB,AD$ at $X,P$ respectively (different from $B,D$).The circle with diameter $CD$ intersects $AC,AD$ at $Y,Q$ respectively (different from $C,D$). Draw two lines through $A$ perpendicular to $PX,QY$, the feet are $M,N$ respectively.Prove that $\triangle AMN$ is similar to $\triangle ABC$ if and only if $AD$ passes through the circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$.

Let $T = (a,b,c)$ be a triangle with sides $a,b$ and $c$ and area $\triangle$. Denote by $T' = (a',b',c')$ the triangle whose sides are the altitudes of $T$ (i.e., $a' = h_a, b' = h_b, c' = h_c$) and denote its area by $\triangle '$. Similarly, let $T'' = (a'',b'',c'')$ be the triangle formed from the altitudes of $T'$, and denote its area by $\triangle ''$. Given that $\triangle ' = 30$ and $\triangle '' = 20$, find $\triangle$.

Triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\omega$. A circle with chord $BC$ intersects segments $AB$ and $AC$ again at $S$ and $R$, respectively. Segments $BR$ and $CS$ meet at $L$, and rays $LR$ and $LS$ intersect $\omega$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively. The internal angle bisector of $\angle BDE$ meets line $ER$ at $K$. Prove that if $BE = BR$, then $\angle ELK = \tfrac{1}{2} \angle BCD$.

A library has one exit and one entrance and a blackboard at each. Only one person enters or leaves at a time. As he does so he records the number of people found/remaining in the library on the blackboard. Prove that at the end of the day exactly the same numbers will be found on the two blackboards (possibly in a different order).

When filled with an cold water using a particular cold water tap, a tank will be full in 14 minutes. In 21 minutes, the full tank could be emptied by opening a hole on the base of the tank. If the cold water tap and the hot water tap are opened simultaneously (allowing hot and cold water fill the tank), and the hole on the base of the tank is opened, the tank will be full in 12.6 minutes. Determine the number of minutes needed to fill the tank with hot water until the tank is full, assuming at first the tank is empty and the hole is closed.
