Let $ABCD$ be a square of the plane $P$. Define the minimum and the maximum the value of the function $f: P \to R$ is given by $f (P) =\frac{PA + PB}{PC + PD}$
On Monday, Millie puts a quart of seeds, $ 25\%$ of which are millet, into a bird feeder. On each successive day she adds another quart of the same mix of seeds without removing any seeds that are left. Each day the birds eat only $ 25\%$ of the millet in the feeder, but they eat all of the other seeds. On which day, just after Millie has placed the seeds, will the birds find that more than half the seeds in the feeder are millet? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{Tuesday}\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \text{Wednesday}\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \text{Thursday} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \text{Friday}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \text{Saturday}$
Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Circle $\Gamma$ passes through $A$, meets segments $AB$ and $AC$ again at points $D$ and $E$ respectively, and intersects segment $BC$ at $F$ and $G$ such that $F$ lies between $B$ and $G$. The tangent to circle $BDF$ at $F$ and the tangent to circle $CEG$ at $G$ meet at point $T$. Suppose that points $A$ and $T$ are distinct. Prove that line $AT$ is parallel to $BC$. (Nigeria)

Nine numbers are arranged in a square table: $a_1 \,\,\, a_2 \,\,\,a_3$ $b_1 \,\,\,b_2 \,\,\,b_3$ $c_1\,\,\, c_2 \,\,\,c_3$ . It is known that the six numbers obtained by summing the rows and columns of the table are equal: $a_1 + a_2 + a_3 = b_1 + b_2 + b_3 = c_1 + c_2 + c_3 = a_1 + b_1 + c_1 = a_2 + b_2 + c_2 = a_3 + b_3 + c_3$ . Prove that the sum of products of numbers in the rows is equal to the sum of products of numbers in the columns: $a_1 b_1 c_1 + a_2 b_2c_2 + a_3b_3c_3 = a_1a_2a_3 + b_1 b_2 b_3 + c_1 c_2c_3$ .

In a city, there are some buildings. We say the building $A$ is dominant to the building $B$ if the line that connects upside of $A$ to upside of $B$ makes an angle more than $45^{\circ}$ with earth. We want to make a building in a given location. Suppose none of the buildings are dominant to each other. Prove that we can make the building with a height such that again, none of the buildings are dominant to each other. (Suppose the city as a horizontal plain and each building as a perpendicular line to the plain.)
