In $\triangle ABC$, point $M$ is the middle point of $AC$. $MD//AB$ and meet the tangent of $A$ to $\odot(ABC)$ at point $D$. Point $E$ is in $AD$ and point $A$ is the middle point of $DE$. $\{P\}=\odot(ABE)\cap AC,\{Q\}=\odot(ADP)\cap DM$. Prove that $\angle QCB=\angle BAC$.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. The organising commitee of a tennis tournament is to schedule the matches for $2k$ players so that every two players play once, each day exactly one match is played, and each player arrives to the tournament site the day of his first match, and departs the day of his last match. For every day a player is present on the tournament, the committee has to pay $1$ coin to the hotel. The organisers want to design the schedule so as to minimise the total cost of all players' stays. Determine this minimum cost.

Let $a_1,a_2, \cdots$ be a sequence of integers that satisfies: $a_1=1$ and $a_{n+1}=a_n+a_{\lfloor \sqrt{n} \rfloor} , \forall n\geq 1 $. Prove that for all positive $k$, there is $m \geq 1$ such that $k \mid a_m$.

Ali Barber, the carpet merchant, has a rectangular piece of carpet whose dimensions are unknown. Unfortunately, his tape measure is broken and he has no other measuring instruments. However, he finds that if he lays it flat on the floor of either of his storerooms, then each corner of the carpet touches a different wall of that room. He knows that the sides of the carpet are integral numbers of feet and that his two storerooms have the same (unknown) length, but widths of 38 feet and 50 feet respectively. What are the carpet dimensions?

The negation of the statement "No slow learners attend this school" is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{All slow learners attend this school} \\ \textbf{(B)}\ \text{All slow learners do not attend this school} \\ \textbf{(C)}\ \text{Some slow learners attend this school} \\ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{Some slow learners do not attend this school} \\ \textbf{(E)}\ \text{No slow learners do not attend this school}$

A complete graph is in a plane such that no three of its vertices are collinear. The edges of the graph, which are straight segments connecting the vertices, are colored with two colors. Prove that there is a non-self-intersecting spanning tree consisting of edges of the same color.

Decide whether any rectangle that can be covered by 25 circles of radius 2 can also be covered by 100 circles of radius 1.

Let $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ be two circles that intersect at two points: $A$ and $B$. Let $C$ and $E$ be on $\omega_1$, and $D$ and $F$ be on $\omega_2$ such that $CD$ and $EF$ meet at $B$ and the three lines $CE$, $DF$, and $AB$ concur at a point $P$ that is closer to $B$ than $A$. Let $\Omega$ denote the circumcircle of $\triangle DEF$. Now, let the line through $A$ perpendicular to $AB$ hit $EB$ at $G$, $GD$ hit $\Omega$ at $J$, and $DA$ hit $\Omega$ again at $I$. A point $Q$ on $IE$ satisfies that $CQ=JQ$. If $QJ=36$, $EI=21$, and $CI=16$, then the radius of $\Omega$ can be written as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers, $b$ is not divisible by the square of a prime, and $\gcd(a, c) = 1$. Find $a+b+c$. [i]Proposed by Kevin Zhao[/i]

Two circles $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ have centers at points $A$ and $B$ respectively and intersect at points $P$ and $Q$ in such a way that $A$, $B$, $P$, and $Q$ all lie on a common circle $\omega$. The tangent to $\omega$ at $P$ intersects $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ again at points $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Suppose $AB = 17$ and $XY = 20$. Compute the sum of the radii of $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$.

Consider a 4-point configuration in the plane such that every 3 points can be covered by a strip of a unit width. Prove that: 1) the four points can be covered by a strip of length at most $\sqrt2$ and 2)if no strip of length less that $\sqrt2$ covers all the four points, then the points are vertices of a square of length $\sqrt2$

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle with side lengths $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$, and $CA = 15$. The angle bisector of $\angle BAC$, the angle bisector of $\angle ABC$, and the angle bisector of $\angle ACB$ intersect the circumcircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ again at points $D$, $E$ and $F$, respectively. Compute the area of hexagon $AF BDCE$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle, with $AB<AC$. Let $K$ be the midpoint of the arch $BC$ that does not contain $A$ and let $P$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Let $I_B,I_C$ be the $B$-excenter and $C$-excenter of $ABC$, respectively. Let $Q$ be the reflection of $K$ with respect to $A$. Prove that the points $P,Q,I_B,I_C$ are concyclic.

Do there exist two infinite sets of non-negative integers such that every non-negative integer can be uniquely represented in the form $a + b$ with $a$ in $A$ and $b$ in $B$?

Determine all functions $f : R \to R$ satisfying $f (f(x)f(y) + f(y)f(z) + f(z)f(x))= f(x) + f(y) + f(z)$ for all real numbers $x, y, z$.

A flea jumps in a straight numbered line. It jumps first from point $0$ to point $1$. Afterwards, if its last jump was from $A$ to $B$, then the next jump is from $B$ to one of the points $B + (B - A) - 1$, $B + (B - A)$, $B + (B-A) + 1$. Prove that if the flea arrived twice at the point $n$, $n$ positive integer, then it performed at least $\lceil 2\sqrt n\rceil$ jumps.
