(i) 15 chairs are equally placed around a circular table on which are name cards for 15 guests. The guests fail to notice these cards until after they have sat down, and it turns out that no one is sitting in the correct seat. Prove that the table can be rotated so that at least two of the guests are simultaneously correctly seated.
(ii) Give an example of an arrangement in which just one of the 15 guests is correctly seated and for which no rotation correctly places more than one person.

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle with centre $I$, and $A B C D$ a convex quadrilateral such that each of the segments $A B, B C, C D$ and $D A$ is tangent to $\Gamma$. Let $\Omega$ be the circumcircle of the triangle $A I C$. The extension of $B A$ beyond $A$ meets $\Omega$ at $X$, and the extension of $B C$ beyond $C$ meets $\Omega$ at $Z$. The extensions of $A D$ and $C D$ beyond $D$ meet $\Omega$ at $Y$ and $T$, respectively. Prove that \[A D+D T+T X+X A=C D+D Y+Y Z+Z C.\]

Daniel finds a rectangular index card and measures its diagonal to be 8 centimeters. Daniel then cuts out equal squares of side 1 cm at two opposite corners of the index card and measures the distance between the two closest vertices of these squares to be $4\sqrt{2}$ centimeters, as shown below. What is the area of the original index card?

In a square $ABCD$ of diagonals $AC$ and $BD$, we call $O$ at the center of the square. A square $PQRS$ is constructed with sides parallel to those of $ABCD$ with $P$ in segment $AO, Q$ in segment $BO, R$ in segment $CO, S$ in segment $DO$. If area of $ABCD$ equals two times the area of $PQRS$, and $M$ is the midpoint of the $AB$ side, calculate the measure of the angle $\angle AMP$.

A clue “$k$ digits, sum is $n$” gives a number k and the sum of $k$ distinct, nonzero digits. An answer for that clue consists of $k$ digits with sum $n$. For example, the clue “Three digits, sum is $23$” has only one answer: $6,8,9$. The clue “Three digits, sum is $8$” has two answers: $1,3,4$ and $1,2,5$.
If the clue “Four digits, sum is $n$” has the largest number of answers for any four-digit clue, then what is the value of $n$? How many answers does this clue have? Explain why no other four-digit clue can have more answers.

A trader owns horses of $3$ races, and exacly $b_j$ of each race (for $j=1,2,3$). He want to leave these horses heritage to his $3$ sons. He knowns that the boy $i$ for horse $j$ (for $i,j=1,2,3$) would pay $a_{ij}$ golds, such that for distinct $i,j$ holds holds $a_{ii}> a_{ij}$ and $a_{jj} >a_{ij}$.
Prove that there exists a natural number $n$ such that whenever it holds $\min\{b_1,b_2,b_3\}>n$, trader can give the horses to their sons such that after getting the horses each son values his horses more than the other brother is getting, individually.
