Rui Xuen has a circle $\omega$ with center $O$, and a square $ABCJ$ with vertices on $\omega$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AB$, and let $\Gamma$ be the circle passing through the points $J$, $O$, $M$. Suppose $\Gamma$ intersect line $AJ$ at a point $P \neq J$, and suppose $\Gamma$ intersect $\omega$ at a point $Q \neq J$. A point $R$ lies on side $BC$ so that $RC = 3RB$.
Help Rui Xuen prove that the points $P$, $Q$, $R$ are collinear.

The incircle of triangle $ABC$ touches its sides $AB, BC, CA$ in points $C_1, A_1, B_1$ respectively. The point $B_2$ is symmetric to $B_1$ with respect to line $A_1C_1$, lines $BB_2$ and $AC$ meet in point $B_3$. points $A_3$ and $C_3$ may be defined analogously.

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle, and let $ABCD$ be a square lying inside the circle $\Gamma$. Let $\mathcal{C}_a$ be a circle tangent interiorly to $\Gamma$, and also tangent to the sides $AB$ and $AD$ of the square, and also lying inside the opposite angle of $\angle BAD$. Let $A'$ be the tangency point of the two circles. Define similarly the circles $\mathcal{C}_b$, $\mathcal{C}_c$, $\mathcal{C}_d$ and the points $B',C',D'$ respectively.

$mn$ students all have different heights. They are arranged in $m > 1$ rows of $n > 1$. In each row select the shortest student and let $A$ be the height of the tallest such. In each column select the tallest student and let $B$ be the height of the shortest such. Which of the following are possible: $A < B$, $A = B$, $A > B$? If a relation is possible, can it always be realized by a suitable arrangement of the students?
Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\Omega$ and let $N$ be the midpoint of the major arc $\widehat{BC}$. The incircle $\omega$ of $\triangle ABC$ is tangent to $AC$ and $AB$ at points $E$ and $F$ respectively. Suppose point $X$ is placed on the same side of $EF$ as $A$ such that $\triangle XEF\sim\triangle ABC$. Let $NX$ intersect $BC$ at a point $P$. Given that $AB=15$, $BC=16$, and $CA=17$, compute $\tfrac{PX}{XN}$.
After Jennifer walked $r$ percent of the way from her home to the store, she turned around and walked home, got on her bicycle, and bicycled to the store and back home. Jennifer bicycles two and a half times faster than she walks. Find the largest value of $r$ so that returning home for her bicycle was not slower than her walking all the way to and from the store without her bicycle.
Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = AC \neq BC$ and let $I$ be its incentre. The line $BI$ meets $AC$ at $D$, and the line through $D$ perpendicular to $AC$ meets $AI$ at $E$. Prove that the reflection of $I$ in $AC$ lies on the circumcircle of triangle $BDE$.

Let $\triangle ABC$ satisfy $AB = 17, AC = \frac{70}{3}$ and $BC = 19$. Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle ABC$ and $E$ be the excenter of $\triangle ABC$ opposite $A$. (Note: this means that the circle tangent to ray $AB$ beyond $B$, ray $AC$ beyond $C$, and side $BC$ is centered at $E$.) Suppose the circle with diameter $IE$ intersects $AB$ beyond $B$ at $D$. If $BD = \frac{a}{b}$ where $a, b$ are coprime positive integers, find $a + b$.

A dog has infinitely many pieces of meat, but on each piece of meat there is a fly. At each move, the dog does the following:
[list=1]
[*] He eats a piece of meat together with all flies lying on it;
[*] He moves a fly from a piece of meat to another.
[/list]
The dog doesn't want to eat more than one milion flies. Prove that he cannot ensure that each piece of meat is eaten at some point.

Let $AX$ be a diameter of a circle $\Omega$ with radius $10$, and suppose that $C$ lies on $\Omega$ so that $AC = 16$. Let $D$ be the other point on $\Omega$ so $CX = CD$. From here, define $D'$ to be the reflection of $D$ across the midpoint of $AC$, and $X'$ to be the reflection of $X$ across the midpoint of $CD$. If the area of triangle $CD'X'$ can be written as $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p, q$ are relatively prime, find $p + q$.
