Points on complex plane that complex numbers $z_1,z_2$ corresponding to are $A,B$, and $|z_1|=4,4z_1^2-2z_1z_2+z_2^2=0$. $O$ is original point, then the area of $\triangle OAB$ is $\text{(A)}8\sqrt3\qquad\text{(B)}4\sqrt3\qquad\text{(C)}6\sqrt3\qquad\text{(D)}12\sqrt3$
Show that there are $1977$ non-similar triangles such that the angles $A, B, C$ satisfy $\frac{\sin A + \sin B + \sin C}{\cos A +\cos B + \cos C} = \frac{12}{7}$ and $\sin A \sin B \sin C = \frac{12}{25}$.
Positive integers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{101}$ are such that $a_i+1$ is divisible by $a_{i+1}$ for all $1 \le i \le 101$, where $a_{102} = a_1$. What is the largest possible value of $\max(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{101})$? [i]Proposed by Oleksiy Masalitin[/i]
Let $\langle a_n\rangle_{n\ge 0}$ be a sequence of integers satisfying $a_0=1, a_1=3$ and $a_{n+2}=1+\left\lfloor \frac{a_{n+1}^2}{a_n}\right\rfloor \ \ \forall n\ge0.$ Prove that $a_n\cdot a_{n+2}-a_{n+1}^2=2^n$ for every natural number $n.$
Show that in a non-equilateral triangle, the following statements are equivalent: $(a)$ The angles of the triangle are in arithmetic progression. $(b)$ The common tangent to the Nine-point circle and the Incircle is parallel to the Euler Line.
At a mathematical olympiad, eight problems were given to 30 contestants. In order to take the difficulty of each problem into account, the jury decided to assign weights to the problems as follows: a problem is worth $n$ points if it was not solved by exactly $n$ contestants. For example, if a problem was solved by all contestants, then it is worth no points. (It is assumed that there are no partial marks for a problem.) Ivan got less points than any other contestant. Find the greatest score he can have.
Find all integers $n \geq 3$ such that among any $n$ positive real numbers $a_1, a_2, \hdots, a_n$ with $\text{max}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n) \leq n \cdot \text{min}(a_1,a_2,\hdots,a_n)$, there exist three that are the side lengths of an acute triangle.
On a plane, $n$ straight lines are drawn. Two domains are called [i]adjacent [/i] if they border by a line segment. Prove that the domains into which the plane is divided by these lines can be painted two colors so that no two [i]adjacent [/i] domains are of the same color.
Minivan chooses a prime number. Then every second, he adds either the digit $1$ or the digit $3$ to the right end of his number (after the unit digit), such that the new number is also a prime. Can he continue indefinitely? [i](Proposed by Wong Jer Ren)[/i]

Divide the set of twelve numbers $A = \{3, 4, 5, ...,13, 14\}$ into two sets $ B$ and $C$ 'of six numbers each according to this condition: for any two different numbers with $ B$ their sum does not belong to $ B$ and for any two different numbers from $C$, the sum does not belong to $C$.
Loki, Moe, Nick and Ott are good friends. Ott had no money, but the others did. Moe gave Ott one-fifth of his money, Loki gave Ott one-fourth of his money and Nick gave Ott one-third of his money.

For positive integers $p$, $q$ and $r$ we are given $p \cdot q \cdot r$ unit cubes. We drill a hole along the space diagonal of each of these cubes and then tie them to a very thin thread of length $p \cdot q \cdot r \cdot \sqrt{3}$ like a string of pearls. We now want to construct a cuboid of side lengths $p$, $q$ and $r$ out of the cubes, without tearing the thread. a) For which numbers $p$, $q$ and $r$ is this possible? b) For which numbers $p$, $q$ and $r$ is this possible in a way such that both ends of the thread coincide?
