An arbitrary triangle $ABC$ is given. Using ruler and compass construct three pairwise tangent circles $w_A$,$w_B$, $w_C$ with equal radii such that $A \in w_A, B \in w_B, C \in w_C$. [i]Matsvei Zorka[/i]
In an acute scalene triangle $ABC$ with incenter $I$, the line $AI$ intersects the circumcircle again at $D$, and let $J$ be a point such that $D$ is the midpoint of $IJ$. Consider points $E$ and $F$ on line $BC$ such that $IE$ and $JF$ are perpendicular to $AI$. Consider points $G$ on $AE$ and $H$ on $AF$ such that $IG$ and $JH$ are perpendicular to $AE$ and $AF$, respectively. Prove that $BG=CH$.
Given is a positive integer $n \geq 2$ and three pairwise disjoint sets $A, B, C$, each of $n$ distinct real numbers. Denote by $a$ the number of triples $(x, y, z) \in A \times B \times C$ satisfying $x<y<z$ and let $b$ denote the number of triples $(x, y, z) \in A \times B \times C$ such that $x>y>z$.

We are given a polyhedron with at least $5$ vertices, such that exactly $3$ edges meet in each of the vertices. Prove that we can assign a rational number to every vertex of the given polyhedron such that the following conditions are met: $(i)$ At least one of the numbers assigned to the vertices is equal to $2020$. $(ii)$ For every polygonal face, the product of the numbers assigned to the vertices of that face is equal to $1$.

We will call a [i]hedgehog[/i] a graph in which one vertex is connected to all the others and there are no other edges; the number of vertices of this graph will be called the size of the hedgehog. A graph $G$ is given on $n$ vertices (where $n > 1$). For each edge $e$, we denote by $s(e)$ the size of the maximum hedgehog in graph $G$, which contains this edge. Prove the inequality (summation is carried out over all edges of the graph $G$): \[\sum_e \frac{1}{s(e)} \leqslant \frac{n}{2}.\] [i]Proposed by D. Malec, C. Tompkins[/i]

Denote by $P$ the intersection of the tangents to $\Gamma$ at $A$ and $C$. Suppose $\Gamma$ meets the segment $PB$ at $Q$.

Given several numbers, one of them, $a$, is chosen and replaced by the three numbers $\frac{a}{3}, \frac{a}{3}, \frac{a}{3}$. This process is repeated with the new set of numbers, and so on. Originally, there are $1000$ ones, and we apply the process several times. A number $m$ is called [i]good[/i] if there are $m$ or more numbers that are the same after each iteration, no matter how many or what operations are performed. Find the largest possible good number.
