Let $ABCDEF$ be a convex hexagon satisfying $AC=DF$, $CE=FB$ and $EA=BD$. Prove that the lines connecting the midpoints of opposite sides of the hexagon $ABCDEF$ intersect in one point.
In a triangle $\triangle ABC$ with $\angle ABC < \angle BCA$, we define $K$ as the excenter with respect to $A$. The lines $AK$ and $BC$ intersect in a point $D$. Let $E$ be the circumcenter of $\triangle BKC$. Prove that
\[\frac{1}{|KA|} = \frac{1}{|KD|} + \frac{1}{|KE|}.\]
For a fixed triangle $ABC$ we choose a point $M$ on the ray $CA$ (after $A$), a point $N$ on the ray $AB$ (after $B$) and a point $P$ on the ray $BC$ (after $C$) in a way such that $AM -BC = BN- AC = CP – AB$. Prove that the angles of triangle $MNP$ do not depend on the choice of $M, N, P$ .
There are positive integers $b$ and $c$ such that the polynomial $2x^2 + bx + c$ has two real roots which differ by $30.$ Find the least possible value of $b + c.$
Three points of a triangle are among 8 vertex of a cube. So the number of such acute triangles is

Determine the integers $k\geq 2$ for which the sequence $\Big\{ \binom{2n}{n} \pmod{k}\Big\}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}}$ is eventually periodic.
Given positive integer $M.$ For any $n\in\mathbb N_+,$ let $h(n)$ be the number of elements in $[n]$ that are coprime to $M.$ Define $\beta :=\frac {h(M)}M.$ Proof: there are at least $\frac M3$ elements $n$ in $[M],$ satisfy
$$\left| h(n)-\beta n\right|\le\sqrt{\beta\cdot 2^{\omega(M)-3}}+1.$$
Here $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}$ for all positive integer $n.$

Let $ S$ be the set of $25$ points $(x, y)$ with $0\le x, y \le 4$. A triangle whose three vertices are in $S$ is chosen at random. What is the expected value of the square of its area?
The function $f$ is defined on the set $\mathbb{Q}$ of all rational numbers and has values in $\mathbb{Q}$. It satisfies the conditions $f(1) = 2$ and $f(xy) = f(x)f(y) - f(x+y) + 1$ for all $x,y \in \mathbb{Q}$. Determine $f$.
Juan found an easy (but wrong) way to simplify fractions. He proposes to simplify a fraction $\frac{M}{N}$ , where $M <N$ are two natural numbers, erase simultaneously the equal digits in the numerator and denominator. For instance, $\frac{12356}{5789}$ transforms after simplification of Juan in $\frac{126}{789}$. Find out if there is at least one fraction $\frac{M}{N}$, with $10 <M <N <100$ for which this method gives a correct result.
The quadrilateral $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ is cyclic, and its sides are $a_1 = A_1A_2, a_2 = A_2A_3, a_3 = A_3A_4$ and $a_4 = A_4A_1.$ The respective circles with centres $I_i$ and radii $r_i$ are tangent externally to each side $a_i$ and to the sides $a_{i+1}$ and $a_{i-1}$ extended. ($a_0 = a_4$). Show that \[ \prod^4_{i=1} \frac{a_i}{r_i} = 4 \cdot (\csc (A_1) + \csc (A_2) )^2. \]

Let $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $(b_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be two sequences of positive numbers. Show that the following statements are equivalent:
[list=1]
[*]There is a sequence $(c_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of positive numbers such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{a_n}{c_n}}$ and $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{c_n}{b_n}}$ both converge;[/*]

Joey wrote a system of equations on a blackboard, where each of the equations was of the form $a + b = c$ or $a \cdot b = c$ for some variables or integers $a, b, c$. Then Sean came to the board and erased all of the plus signs and multiplication signs, so that the board reads:
$x\,\,\,\, z = 15$
$x\,\,\,\, y = 12$
$x\,\,\,\, x = 36$
If $x, y, z$ are integer solutions to the original system, find the sum of all possible values of $100x+10y+z$.

1. $ P$ lies on $ S$
2. the center of $ S$ lies on the diagonal $ HN$
3. the length of $ PE$ equals the length of the side of the dodecagon
