At a chess tournament, every pair of contestants played each other at most once. If any two con-
testants, $A$ and $B$, failed to play each other, then exactly two other contestants, $C$ and $D$, played
against both $A$ and $B$ during the tournament. Moreover, no $4$ contestants played exactly $5$ games
between them. Prove that every contestant played the same number of games.

Does there exist a set $ M$ of points in space such that every plane intersects $ M$ at a finite but nonzero number of points?
The inscribed and exscribed sphere of a triangular pyramid $ABCD$ touch her face $BCD$ at different points $X$ and $Y$. Prove that the triangle $AXY$ is obtuse triangle.
In the triangle $ABC$, the cevians $AA_1$, $BB_1$ and $CC_1$ intersect at the point $O$. It turned out that $AA_1$ is the bisector, and the point $O$ is closer to the straight line $AB$ than to the straight lines $A_1C_1$ and $B_1A_1$. Prove that $\angle{BAC} > 120^{\circ}$.
Let $BC$ and $BD$ be the tangent lines to the circle with diameter $AC$. Let $E$ be the second point of intersection of line $CD$ and the circumscribed circle of triangle $ABC$. Prove that $CD= 2DE$.

Let $(a_n)_{n \ge 1}$ be a sequence of positive real numbers such that the sequence $(a_{n+1}-a_n)_{n \ge 1}$ is convergent to a non-zero real number. Evaluate the limit $$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \right)^n.$$

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and $D$ the midpoint of the side $BC$. Define points $E$ and $F$ on $AC$ and $B$, respectively, such that $DE=DF$ and $\angle EDF =\angle BAC$. Prove that $$DE\geq \frac {AB+AC} 4.$$

For a set $S$ of $n$ points, let $d_1 > d_2 >... > d_k > ...$ be the distances between the points.
A function $f_k: S \to N$ is called a [i]coloring function[/i] if, for any pair $M,N$ of points in $S$ with $MN \le d_k$ , it takes the value $f_k(M)+ f_k(N)$ at some point. Prove that for each $m \in N$ there are positive integers $n,k$ and a set $S$ of $n$ points such that every coloring function $f_k$ of $S$ satisfies $| f_k(S)| \le m$
$m$ and $n$ are positive integers. If the number \[ k=\dfrac{(m+n)^2}{4m(m-n)^2+4}\] is an integer, prove that $k$ is a perfect square.
Anne has thought of a finite set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2 $ . Bob does not know how many elements $A$ has, but his goal is to completely determine $A$.
To achieve this, Bob can chooseany point $b \in \mathbb{R}^2 $ and ask Anne how far it is from$ A$ . Anne replies with the distance, defined as $min \{d(a, b) | a \in A\}$. (Here $d(a, b)$ denotes the distance between points $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$ .)
Bob can ask as many questions of this type as he wants, until he can determine A with certainty.
a) Can Bob achieve his goal with finitely many questions?
b) What if Anne tells Bob in advance that all points of A have both coordinates in the interval$\ [0, 1]\ $?
Note: $\mathbb{R}^2$ is the set of points in the plane.
$ABC$ is an equilateral triangle. $D$ and$ D'$ are points on opposite sides of the plane $ABC$ such that the two tetrahedra $ABCD$ and $ABCD'$ are congruent (but not necessarily with the vertices in that order). If the polyhedron with the five vertices $A, B, C, D, D'$ is such that the angle between any two adjacent faces is the same, find $DD'/AB$ .
Consider the set of all ordered $6$-tuples of nonnegative integers $(a,b,c,d,e,f)$ such that \[a+2b+6c+30d+210e+2310f=2^{15}.\] In the tuple with the property that $a+b+c+d+e+f$ is minimized, what is the value of $c$?

Let $[ABC]$ be a acute-angled triangle and its circumscribed circle $\Gamma$. Let $D$ be the point on the line $AB$ such that $A$ is the midpoint of the segment $[DB]$ and $P$ is the point of intersection of $CD$ with $\Gamma$.

It is known that circle $\Gamma_1(O_1)$ has center at $O_1$, circle $\Gamma_2(O_2)$ has center at $O_2$, and both intersect at points $C$ and $D$.

Two incongruent triangles $ABC$ and $XYZ$ are called a pair of [i]pals[/i] if they satisfy the following conditions:
(a) the two triangles have the same area;
(b) let $M$ and $W$ be the respective midpoints of sides $BC$ and $YZ$. The two sets of lengths $\{AB, AM, AC\}$ and $\{XY, XW, XZ\}$ are identical $3$-element sets of pairwise relatively prime integers.
