Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle. Find all positive integers $n$, for which the function $f$, defined on all points $M$ from the circle $S$ circumscribed to triangle $ABC$, defined by the formula $f:S \rightarrow R, f(M)=MA^n+MB^n+MC^n$, is a constant function.
Numbers from $1$ to $100$ are written on the board. Is it possible to cross $10$ numbers in such way, that we couldn't select 10 numbers from rest which would form arithmetic progression?
A sphere is inscribed into a prism $ABCA'B'C'$ and touches its lateral faces $BCC'B', CAA'C', ABB'A' $ at points $A_o, B_o, C_o$ respectively.

A regular pentagon $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5$ with side length $s$ is given. At each point $A_i$, a sphere $K_i$ of radius $\frac{s}{2}$ is constructed. There are two spheres $K_1$ and $K_2$ each of radius $\frac{s}{2}$ touching all the five spheres $K_i.$ Decide whether $K_1$ and $K_2$ intersect each other, touch each other, or have no common points.
A sequence of integers $a_0, a_1 …$ is called [i]kawaii[/i] if $a_0 =0, a_1=1,$ and $$(a_{n+2}-3a_{n+1}+2a_n)(a_{n+2}-4a_{n+1}+3a_n)=0$$ for all integers $n \geq 0$. An integer is called [i]kawaii[/i] if it belongs to some kawaii sequence. Suppose that two consecutive integers $m$ and $m+1$ are both kawaii (not necessarily belonging to the same kawaii sequence). Prove that $m$ is divisible by $3,$ and that $m/3$ is also kawaii.
Two triangles are drawn on a plane in such a way that the area covered by their union is an n-gon (not necessarily convex). Find all possible values of the number of vertices n.
Let $ABC$ be a triangle with orthocentre $H$, and let $D$, $E$, and $F$ denote the respective midpoints of line segments $AB$, $AC$, and $AH$.

We consider a spherical bowl without any great circle. The distance between points $A$ and $B$ on such a bowl is defined as the length of the arc of the great circle of the sphere with ends at points $A$ and $B$, which is contained in the bowl. Prove that there is no isometry mapping this bowl to a subset of the plane. Attention. A spherical bowl is each of the two parts into which the surface of the sphere is divided by a plane intersecting the sphere.

100 unit squares of an infinite squared plane form a $ 10\times 10$ square. Unit segments forming these squares are coloured in several colours. It is known that the border of every square with sides on grid lines contains segments of at most two colours. (Such square is not necessarily contained in the original $ 10\times 10$ square.) What maximum number of colours may appear in this colouring? [i]Author: S. Berlov[/i]
Given is an acute-angled triangle $ABC$ in which holds $|BC|: |AC| = 3:$2. Let $D$ be the midpoint of the side $\overline{AC}$, and P the midpoint of the segment $\overline{BD}$. A point $X$ is given on the line $AC$ so that $|AX| = |BC|$, where $A$ is between $X$ and $C$. The line $XP$ intersects the side $\overline{BC}$ at point $E$.

Consider $37$ distinct points in space, all with integer coordinates. Prove that we may find among them three distinct points such that their barycentre has integers coordinates.
We have $2n$ lights in two rows, numbered from $1$ to $n$ in each row. Some (or none) of the lights are on and the others are off, we call that a "state". Two states are distinct if there is a light which is on in one of them and off in the other. We say that a state is good if there is the same number of lights turned on in the first row and in the second row. Prove that the total number of good states divided by the total number of states is: $$ \frac{3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7 \cdots (2n-1)}{2^n n!} $$
