The points $P,Q,R$ and $A,B,C,D$ lie on a circle (clockwise) such that $\vartriangle PQR$ is equilateral and $ABCD$ is a square. The points $A$ and $P$ coincide. Prove that the symmetric of $B$ and $D$ wrt $PQ$ and $PR$ respectively lie on the sidelines of the symmetric square wrt $QR$.
A [i]magic square[/i] is a table [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/7/9/3b1e2b2f5d2d4c486f57c4ad68b66f7d7e56dd.png[/img] in which all the natural numbers from $1$ to $16$ appear and such that: $\bullet$ all rows have the same sum $s$. $\bullet$ all columns have the same sum $s$. $\bullet$ both diagonals have the same sum $s$ . It is known that $a_{22} = 1$ and $a_{24} = 2$. Calculate $a_{44}$.
Nine circles are drawn around an arbitrary triangle as in the figure. All circles tangent to the same side of the triangle have equal radii. Three lines are drawn, each one connecting one of the triangle’s vertices to the center of one of the circles touching the opposite side, as in the figure. Show that the three lines are concurrent.

Determine the largest integer $N$ for which there exists a table $T$ of integers with $N$ rows and $100$ columns that has the following properties: $\text{(i)}$ Every row contains the numbers $1$, $2$, $\ldots$, $100$ in some order. $\text{(ii)}$ For any two distinct rows $r$ and $s$, there is a column $c$ such that $|T(r,c) - T(s, c)|\geq 2$. (Here $T(r,c)$ is the entry in row $r$ and column $c$.)
1. In acute triangle $ABC$ point $O$ is circumcenter, segment $CD$ is a height, point $E$ lies on side $AB$ and point $M$ is a midpoint of $CE$. Line through $M$ perpendicular to $OM$ cuts lines $AC$ and $BC$ respectively in $K$, $L$. Prove that $\frac{LM}{MK}=\frac{AD}{DB}$
Jesse cuts a circular paper disk of radius $12$ along two radii to form two sectors, the smaller having a central angle of $120$ degrees.

An integer $n > 1$ is given. Two players in turns mark points on a circle. First Player uses red color while Second Player uses blue color. The game is over when each player marks $n$ points. Then each player nds the arc of maximal length with ends of his color, which does not contain any other marked points. A player wins if his arc is longer (if the lengths are equal, or both players have no such arcs, the game ends in a draw). Which player has a winning strategy?
