The Alpine Club organizes four mountain trips for its $n$ members. Let $E_1, E_2, E_3, E_4$ be the teams participating in these trips. In how many ways can these teams be formed so as to satisfy
$E_1 \cap E_2 \ne\varnothing$, $E_2 \cap E_3 \ne\varnothing$ , $E_3 \cap E_4 \ne\varnothing$ ?
Find all polynomials $P$ with integer coefficients such that $P (0)\ne 0$ and $$P^n(m)\cdot P^m(n)$$ is a square of an integer for all nonnegative integers $n, m$.
[i]Remark:[/i] For a nonnegative integer $k$ and an integer $n$, $P^k(n)$ is defined as follows: $P^k(n) = n$ if $k = 0$ and $P^k(n)=P(P(^{k-1}(n))$ if $k >0$.

Let $ d$ be a line and points $ M,N$ on the $ d$. Circles $ \alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta$ with centers $ A,B,C,D$ are tangent to $ d$, circles $ \alpha,\beta$ are externally tangent at $ M$, and circles $ \gamma,\delta$ are externally tangent at $ N$. Points $ A,C$ are situated in the same half-plane, determined by $ d$. Prove that if exists an circle, which is tangent to the circles $ \alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta$ and contains them in its interior, then lines $ AC,BD,MN$ are concurrent or parallel.
The cells of the $9 \times 9$ table are colored black and white. It turned out, that there were $k$ rows, in each of which there are more black cells than white ones white, and there were $k$ columns, each of which contained more than black. At what highest $ k$ is this possible?
In acute-angled triangle $ABC$, let $H$ be the foot of perpendicular from $A$ to $BC$ and also suppose that $J$ and $I$ are excenters oposite to the side $AH$ in triangles $ABH$ and $ACH$. If $P$ is the point that incircle touches $BC$, prove that $I,J,P,H$ are concyclic.

Solve in set of integers the following equation $x^5+y^5+z^5+t^5=93$.
Two mathematicians, Kelly and Jason, play a cooperative game. The computer selects some secret positive integer $ n < 60$ (both Kelly and Jason know that $ n < 60$, but that they don't know what the value of $ n$ is). The computer tells Kelly the unit digit of $ n$, and it tells Jason the number of divisors of $ n$. Then, Kelly and Jason have the following dialogue:
Kelly: I don't know what $ n$ is, and I'm sure that you don't know either. However, I know that $ n$ is divisible by at least two different primes.
Jason: Oh, then I know what the value of $ n$ is.
Kelly: Now I also know what $ n$ is.
Assuming that both Kelly and Jason speak truthfully and to the best of their knowledge, what are all the possible values of $ n$?
Let $ABC$ be a triangle, ($BC < AB$). The line $l$ passing trough the vertices $C$ and orthogonal to the angle bisector $BE$ of $\angle B$, meets $BE$ and the median $BD$ of the side $AC$ at points $F$ and $G$, respectively. Prove that segment $DF$ bisects the segment $EG$.
Let $n, m$ be positive integers such that
\[n(4n+1)=m(5m+1)\]
(a) Show that the difference $n-m$ is a perfect square of a positive integer.
(b) Find a pair of positive integers $(n, m)$ which satisfies the above relation.
Additional part (not asked in the TST): Find all such pairs $(n,m)$.
Through a point $P$ exterior to a given circle pass a secant and a tangent to the circle. The secant intersects the circle at $A$ and $B$, and the tangent touches the circle at $C$ on the same side of the diameter through $P$ as the points $A$ and $B$. The projection of the point $C$ on the diameter is called $Q$. Prove that the line $QC$ bisects the angle $\angle AQB$.
Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=5$, $BC=6$, $CA=7$. Let $D$ be a point on ray $AB$ beyond $B$ such that $BD=7$, $E$ be a point on ray $BC$ beyond $C$ such that $CE=5$, and $F$ be a point on ray $CA$ beyond $A$ such that $AF=6$. Compute the area of the circumcircle of $DEF$.

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that $BC=AD$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of $AB$ and $CD$, respectively. The lines $AD$ and $BC$ meet the line $MN$ at $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Prove that $CQ=DP$.
In the diagram below, three squares are inscribed in right triangles. Their areas are $A$, $M$, and $N$, as indicated in the diagram. If $M = 5$ and $N = 12$, then $A$ can be expressed as $a + b\sqrt{c}$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a + b + c$.

People are asked “Do you think that the new president will be better than the most recent one?” Suppose $a$ people say “better”,$ b$ say “the same” and $c$ “worse”. Sociologists then calculate two measures of “social optimism”: $m =a + \frac{b}{2}$ and $n = a - c$. Suppose exactly $100$ people respond to this survey and it turns out that $m = 40$. Find $n$.
