$P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$. $AP, BP, CP$ intersects $BC, CA, AB$ at $D, E, F$, respectively. $AD$ meets $(ABC)$ again at $D_1$. $S$ is a point on $(ABC)$. Lines $AS$, $EF$ intersect at $T$, lines $TP, BC$ intersect at $K$, and $KD_1$ meets $(ABC)$ again at $X$. Prove that $S, D, X$ are colinear.
Let $N$ be a positive integer, and consider an $N \times N$ grid. A [i]right-down path[/i] is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell below the previous cell in the sequence. A [i]right-up path[/i] is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell above the previous cell in the sequence. Prove that the cells of the $N \times N$ grid cannot be partitioned into less than $N$ right-down or right-up paths. For example, the following partition of the $5 \times 5$ grid uses $5$ paths.

There are $128$ numbered seats arranged around a circle in a palaestra. The first person to enter the place would sit on seat number $1$. Since a contagious disease is infecting the people of the city, each person who enters the palaestra would sit on a seat whose distance is the longest to the nearest occupied seat. If there are several such seats, the newly entered person would sit on the seat with the smallest number. What is the number of the seat on which the $39$th person sits?

A triangle of numbers is constructed as follows. The first row consists of the numbers from $1$ to $2000$ in increasing order, and under any two consecutive numbers their sum is written. (See the example corresponding to $5$ instead of $2000$ below.) What is the number in the lowermost row? 1 2 3 4 5 3 5 7 9 8 12 16 20 28 4
Ana and Natalia alternately play on a $ n \times n$ board (Ana rolls first and $n> 1$). At the beginning, Ana's token is placed in the upper left corner and Natalia's in the lower right corner. A turn consists of moving the corresponding piece in any of the four directions (it is not allowed to move diagonally), without leaving the board. The winner is whoever manages to place their token on the opponent's token. Determine if either of them can secure victory after a finite number of turns.
