Notice that in the fraction $\frac{16}{64}$ we can perform a simplification as $\cancel{\frac{16}{64}}=\frac 14$ obtaining a correct equality. Find all fractions whose numerators and denominators are two-digit positive integers for which such a simplification is correct.

Find the maximal constant $ M$, such that for arbitrary integer $ n\geq 3,$ there exist two sequences of positive real number $ a_{1},a_{2},\cdots,a_{n},$ and $ b_{1},b_{2},\cdots,b_{n},$ satisfying (1):$ \sum_{k \equal{} 1}^{n}b_{k} \equal{} 1,2b_{k}\geq b_{k \minus{} 1} \plus{} b_{k \plus{} 1},k \equal{} 2,3,\cdots,n \minus{} 1;$ (2):$ a_{k}^2\leq 1 \plus{} \sum_{i \equal{} 1}^{k}a_{i}b_{i},k \equal{} 1,2,3,\cdots,n, a_{n}\equiv M$.

A set $S$ of positive integers is $\textit{sum-complete}$ if there are positive integers $m$ and $n$ such that an integer $a$ is the sum of the elements of some nonempty subset of $S$ if and only if $m \le a \le n$. Let $S$ be a sum-complete set such that $\{1, 3\} \subset S$ and $|S| = 8$. Find the greatest possible value of the sum of the elements of $S$. [i]Proposed by Michael Tang[/i]

Set $A=\{(x,y)||x|+|y|=a,a>0\},B=\{(x,y)||xy|+1=|x|+|y|\}$. If $A\cap B$ is a set of eight vertices of a regular octagon, then $a=$________.

Triangle $ABC$ is right-angled at $B$ and has incentre $I$. Points $D$, $E$ and $F$ are the points where the incircle of the triangle touches the sides $BC$, $AC$ and AB respectively. Lines $CI$ and $EF$ intersect at point $P$. Lines $DP$ and $AB$ intersect at point $Q$. Prove that $AQ = BF$.

Eight guests arrive to a hotel with four rooms. Each guest dislikes at most three other guests and doesn’t want to share a room with any of them (this feeling is mutual). Show that the guests can reside in the four rooms, with two persons in each room

Let $s_1, s_2, \dots$ be an arithmetic progression of positive integers. Suppose that \[ s_{s_1} = x+2, \quad s_{s_2} = x^2+18, \quad\text{and}\quad s_{s_3} = 2x^2+18. \] Determine the value of $x$. [i] Proposed by Evan Chen [/i]

It is given that $a_{11}, a_{22}$ are real numbers, that $x_1, x_2, a_{12}, b_1, b_2$ are complex numbers, and that $a_{11}a_{22}=a_{12}\overline{a_{12}}$ (Where $\overline{a_{12}}$ is he conjugate of $a_{12}$). We consider the following system in $x_1, x_2$: \[\overline{x_1}(a_{11}x_1 + a_{12}x_2) = b_1,\]\[\overline{x_2}(a_{12}x_1 + a_{22}x_2) = b_2.\] [b](a) [/b]Give one condition to make the system consistent.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=3$, $BC=4$, and $CA=5$. The line through $A$ perpendicular to $AC$ intersects line $BC$ at $D$, and the line through $C$ perpendicular to $AC$ intersects line $AB$ at $E$. Compute the area of triangle $BDE$. [i]2021 CCA Math Bonanza Lightning Round #2.1[/i]

Prove that in a plane, arbitrary $ n$ points can be overlapped by discs that the sum of all the diameters is less than $ n$, and the distances between arbitrary two are greater than $ 1$. (where the distances between two discs that have no common points are defined as that the distances between its centers subtract the sum of its radii; the distances between two discs that have common points are zero)

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcenter $O$ and incenter $I$, ex-center in angle $A$ is $J$. Denote $D$ as the tangent point of $(I)$ on $BC$ and the angle bisector of angle $A$ cuts $BC$, $(O)$ respectively at $E, F$. The circle $(DEF )$ meets $(O)$ again at $T$. Prove that $AT$ passes through an intersection of $(J)$ and $(DEF )$.

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers. A sequence of points $(A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_n)$ on the Cartesian plane is called [i]interesting[/i] if $A_i$ are all lattice points, the slopes of $OA_0,OA_1,\cdots,OA_n$ are strictly increasing ($O$ is the origin) and the area of triangle $OA_iA_{i+1}$ is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ for $i=0,1,\ldots,n-1$. Let $(B_0,B_1,\cdots,B_n)$ be a sequence of points. We may insert a point $B$ between $B_i$ and $B_{i+1}$ if $\overrightarrow{OB}=\overrightarrow{OB_i}+\overrightarrow{OB_{i+1}}$, and the resulting sequence $(B_0,B_1,\ldots,B_i,B,B_{i+1},\ldots,B_n)$ is called an [i]extension[/i] of the original sequence. Given two [i]interesting[/i] sequences $(C_0,C_1,\ldots,C_n)$ and $(D_0,D_1,\ldots,D_m)$, prove that if $C_0=D_0$ and $C_n=D_m$, then we may perform finitely many [i]extensions[/i] on each sequence until the resulting two sequences become identical.
