In an acute triangle, the distance from the midpoint of any side to the opposite vertex is equal to the sum of the distances from it to sides of the triangle. Prove that this triangle is equilateral.
What is the area of the largest circle contained in an equilateral triangle of area $8\sqrt3$?
The sides of triangles $ABC$ and $ACD$ satisfy the following conditions: $AB = AD = 3$ cm, $BC = 7$ cm, $DC = 11$ cm. What values can the side length $AC$ take if it is an integer number of centimeters, is the average in $\Delta ACD$ and the largest in $\Delta ABC$?
Let $AB$ be a diameter of a circle; let $t_1$ and $t_2$ be the tangents at $A$ and $B$, respectively; let $C$ be any point other than $A$ on $t_1$; and let $D_1D_2. E_1E_2$ be arcs on the circle determined by two lines through $C$. Prove that the lines $AD_1$ and $AD_2$ determine a segment on $t_2$ equal in length to that of the segment on $t_2$ determined by $AE_1$ and $AE_2.$
In the convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ we have that $\angle BCD = \angle ADC \ge 90 ^o$. The bisectors of $\angle BAD$ and $\angle ABC$ intersect in $M$. Prove that if $M \in CD$, then $M$ is the middle of $CD$.
Let $x_0,x_1,x_2,\ldots$ be a sequence of rational numbers defined recursively as follows: $x_0$ can be any rational number and, for $n\ge 0$, \[ x_{n+1}=\begin{cases} \left|\frac{x_n}2-1\right| & \text{if the numerator of }x_n\text{ is even}, \\ \left|\frac1{x_n}-1\right| & \text{if the numerator of }x_n\text{ is odd},\end{cases} \] where by numerator of a rational number we mean the numerator of the fraction in its lowest terms. Prove that for any value of $x_0$: (a) the sequence contains only finitely many distinct terms; (b) the sequence contains exactly one of the numbers $0$ and $2/3$ (namely, either there exists an index $k$ such that $x_k=0$, or there exists an index $m$ such that $x_m=2/3$, but not both).

A regular pentagon is constructed externally on each side of a regular pentagon of side $1$. The figure is then folded and the two edges of the external pentagons meeting at each vertex of the original pentagon are glued together. Find the volume of water that can be poured into the obtained container.

Compute $A(5, 3, 2)$. (H. Nestra)
Jerry likes to play with numbers. One day, he wrote all the integers from $1$ to $2024$ on the whiteboard. Then he repeatedly chose four numbers on the whiteboard, erased them, and replaced them with either their sum or their product. (For example, Jerry's first step might have been to erase $1, 2, 3$, and $5$, and then write either $11$, their sum, or $30$, their product, on the whiteboard.) After repeatedly performing this operation, Jerry noticed that all the remaining numbers on the board were odd. What is the maximum possible number of integers on the board at that time? $ \textbf{(A) }1010 \qquad \textbf{(B) }1011 \qquad \textbf{(C) }1012 \qquad \textbf{(D) }1013 \qquad \textbf{(E) }1014 \qquad $
Suppose all the pairs of a positive integers from a finite collection \[A=\{a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots \}\] are added together to form a new collection \[A^{*}=\{a_{i}+a_{j}\;\; \vert \; 1 \le i < j \le n \}.\] For example, $A=\{ 2, 3, 4, 7 \}$ would yield $A^{*}=\{ 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 \}$ and $B=\{ 1, 4, 5, 6 \}$ would give $B^{*}=\{ 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 \}$. These examples show that it's possible for different collections $A$ and $B$ to generate the same collections $A^{*}$ and $B^{*}$. Show that if $A^{*}=B^{*}$ for different sets $A$ and $B$, then $|A|=|B|$ and $|A|=|B|$ must be a power of $2$.
Prove that for all integers $k\geq 2,$ the number $k^{k-1}-1$ is divisible by $(k-1)^2.$
The participants to an international conference are native and foreign scientist. Each native scientist sends a message to a foreign scientist and each foreign scientist sends a message to a native scientist. There are native scientists who did not receive a message. Prove that there exists a set $S$ of native scientists such that the outer $S$ scientists are exactly those who received messages from those foreign scientists who did not receive messages from scientists belonging to $S$.

Patrick and Anderson are having a snowball fight. Patrick throws a snowball at Anderson which is shaped like a sphere with a radius of $10$ centimeters. Anderson catches the snowball and uses the snow from the snowball to construct snowballs with radii of $4$ centimeters. Given that the total volume of the snowballs that Anderson constructs cannot exceed the volume of the snowball that Patrick threw, how many snowballs can Anderson construct?
Through the vertex of a trihedral angle in which no edge is perpendicular to the opposite face, a straight line is drawn in the plane of each face perpendicular to the opposite edge. Prove that the three straight lines obtained lie in one plane.
