Given a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, find the locus of the points $P$ inside the quadrilateral such that
\[S_{PAB}\cdot S_{PCD} = S_{PBC}\cdot S_{PDA}\]
(where $S_X$ denotes the area of triangle $X$).
1. The numbers $1,2, \ldots$ are placed in a triangle as following:

1 & & & \\
2 & 3 & & \\
4 & 5 & 6 & \\
7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
\ldots
\end{matrix}

George has $150$ cups of flour and $200$ eggs. He can make a cupcake with $3$ cups of flour and $2$ eggs, or he can make an omelet with $4$ eggs. What is the maximum number of treats (both omelets and cupcakes) he canmake?

In the triangle $ABC$, the side $BC$ is equal to $a$. Point $F$ is midpoint of $AB$, $I$ is the point of intersection of the bisectors of triangle $ABC$. It turned out that $\angle AIF = \angle ACB$. Find the perimeter of the triangle $ABC$.

Find all non constant polynomials $P(x),Q(x)$ with real coefficients such that: $P((Q(x))^3)=xP(x)(Q(x))^3$
If $x$ and $y$ are positive real numbers such that

Define the function $f: \mathbb N \cup \{0\} \to \mathbb{Q}$ as follows: $f(0) = 0$ and \[ f(3n+k) = -\frac{3f(n)}{2} + k , \] for $k = 0, 1, 2$. Show that $f$ is one-to-one and determine the range of $f$.
Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB=40$ and $AC=30.$ Points $X$ and $Y$ are on the segment $AB$ and $BC,$ respectively such that $AX:BX=3:2$ and $BY:CY=1:4.$ Given that $XY=12,$ the area of $\triangle ABC$ can be written as $a\sqrt{b}$ where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers and $b$ is squarefree. Compute $a+b.$
Let $S$ be a set with six elements. In how many different ways can one select two not necessarily distinct subsets of $S$ so that the union of the two subsets is $S$? The order of selection does not matter; for example, the pair of subsets $\{a, c\}$, $\{b, c, d, e, f\}$ represents the same selection as the pair $\{b, c, d, e, f\}$, $\{a, c\}$.
Suppose that $x$ and $y$ are different real numbers such that $\frac{x^n-y^n}{x-y}$ is an integer for some four consecutive positive integers $n$. Prove that $\frac{x^n-y^n}{x-y}$ is an integer for all positive integers n.
Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with $AB=5$, $BC=6$, $CD=7$, and $DA=8$. Let $M$, $P$, $N$, $Q$ be the midpoints of sides $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, $DA$ respectively. Compute $MN^2-PQ^2$.
Evaluate $\prod_{k=1}^{254}\log_{k+1}(k + 2)^{u_k}$, where $u_k = \begin{cases}- k & \text{if} \,\, k \,\, \text{is odd}\\

Let $\{a_k\}^{2011}_{k=1}$ be the sequence of real numbers defined by $$a_1=0.201, \quad a_2=(0.2011)^{a_1},\quad a_3=(0.20101)^{a_2},\quad a_4=(0.201011)^{a_3},$$ and more generally \[ a_k = \begin{cases}(0.\underbrace{20101\cdots0101}_{k+2 \ \text{digits}})^{a_{k-1}}, &\text {if } k \text { is odd,} \\ (0.\underbrace{20101\cdots01011}_{k+2 \ \text{digits}})^{a_{k-1}}, &\text {if } k \text { is even.}\end{cases} \]
Rearranging the numbers in the sequence $\{a_k\}^{2011}_{k=1}$ in decreasing order produces a new sequence $\{b_k\}^{2011}_{k=1}$. What is the sum of all the integers $k$, $1\le k \le 2011$, such that $a_k = b_k$?

The tourist has come to the Moscow by train. All-day-long he wandered randomly through the streets. Than he had a supper in the cafe on the square and decided to return to the station only through the streets that he has passed an odd number of times. Prove that he is always able to do that.

An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Interestingly, assuming the vessel has thin walls and is always pressurized to near its bursting point, the amount of gas the vessel can contain, $n$ (measured in moles), does not depend on the radius $r$ of the vessel; instead it depends only on $V_m$ (measured in $\text{m}^3$), the temperature $T$ (measured in $\text{K}$), the ideal gas constant $R$ (measured in $\text{J/(K} \cdot \text{mol})$), and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma$ (measured in $\text{N/m}^2$). Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters?
(A) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{V_m\sigma}{RT}$
(B) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m\sigma}}{RT}$
(C) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m\sigma^2}}{RT}$
(D) $n=\frac{2}{3}\frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m^2\sigma}}{RT}$
(E) $n=\frac{2}{3}\sqrt[3]{\frac{V_m\sigma^2}{RT}}$
Amanda has the list of even numbers $2, 4, 6, \dots 100$ and Billy has the list of odd numbers $1, 3, 5, \dots 99$. Carlos creates a list by adding the square of each number in Amanda's list to the square of the corresponding number in Billy's list. Daisy creates a list by taking twice the product of corresponding numbers in Amanda's list and Billy's list. What is the positive difference between the sum of the numbers in Carlos's list and the sum of the numbers in Daisy's list?

Prove the inequality
$\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{a\left(b+c\right)}+\frac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{b\left(c+a\right)}+\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{c\left(a+b\right)}\geq\frac32$
for any three positive reals $a$, $b$, $c$.
[i]Comment.[/i] This was an attempt of creating a contrast to the (rather hard) inequality at the QEDMO before. However, it turned out to be more difficult than I expected (a wrong solution was presented during the competition).
