Let $ABC$ be a triangle with two angles $B,C$ not having the same measure, $I$ be its incircle, $(O)$ its circumcircle. Circle $(O_b)$ touches $BA,BC$ and is internally tangent to $(O)$ at $B_1$.

Find all finite sets $S$ of positive integers with at least $2$ elements, such that if $m>n$ are two elements of $S$, then
$$ \frac{n^2}{m-n} $$
is also an element of $S$.
Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle. In $ABC$, $AB \neq AB$, $K$ is the midpoint of the the median $AD$, $DE \perp AB$ at $E$, $DF \perp AC$ at $F$. The lines $KE$, $KF$ intersect the line $BC$ at $M$, $N$, respectively. The circumcenters of $\triangle DEM$, $\triangle DFN$ are $O_1, O_2$, respectively.

There are $2020$ points on the coordinate plane {$A_i = (x_i, y_i):i = 1, ..., 2020$}, satisfying
$$0=x_1<x_2<...<x_{2020}$$
$$0=y_{2020}<y_{2019}<...<y_1$$
Let $O=(0, 0)$ be the origin, $OA_1A_2...A_{2020}$ forms a polygon $C$.
Now, you want to blacken the polygon $C$. Every time you can choose a point $(x,y)$ with $x, y > 0$, and blacken the area {$(x', y'): 0\leq x' \leq x, 0\leq y' \leq y$}. However, you have to pay $xy$ dollars for doing so.
Prove that you could blacken the whole polygon $C$ by using $4|C|$ dollars. Here, $|C|$ stands for the area of the polygon $C$.

Let $P$ and $Q$ be polynomials with integer coefficients. Suppose that the integers $a$ and $a+1997$ are roots of $P$, and that $Q(1998)=2000$. Prove that the equation $Q(P(x))=1$ has no integer solutions.
It takes Clea $60$ seconds to walk down an escalator when it is not operating and only $24$ seconds to walk down the escalator when it is operating. How many seconds does it take Clea to ride down the operating escalator when she just stands on it?

A society has to elect a board of governors. Each member of the society has chosen $10$ candidates for the board, but he will be happy if at least one of them will be on the board. For each six members of the society there exists a board consisting of two persons making all of these six members happy. Prove that a board consisting of $10$ persons can be elected making every member of the society happy.
Given unequal integers $x, y, z$ prove that $(x-y)^5 + (y-z)^5 + (z-x)^5$ is divisible by $5(x-y)(y- z)(z-x)$.
Consider $0<\lambda<1$, and let $A$ be a multiset of positive integers. Let $A_n=\{a\in A: a\leq n\}$. Assume that for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$, the set $A_n$ contains at most $n\lambda$ numbers. Show that there are infinitely many $n\in\mathbb{N}$ for which the sum of the elements in $A_n$ is at most $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\lambda$. (A multiset is a set-like collection of elements in which order is ignored, but repetition of elements is allowed and multiplicity of elements is significant. For example, multisets $\{1, 2, 3\}$ and $\{2, 1, 3\}$ are equivalent, but $\{1, 1, 2, 3\}$ and $\{1, 2, 3\}$ differ.)
Given positive integer $n \geq 2$. Now Cindy fills each cell of the $n*n$ grid with a positive integer not greater than $n$ such that the numbers in each row are in a non-decreasing order (from left to right) and numbers in each column is also in a non-decreasing order (from top to bottom). We call two adjacant cells form a $domino$ , if they are filled with the same number. Now Cindy wants the number of $domino$s as small as possible. Find the smallest number of $dominos$ Cindy can reach. (Here, two cells are called adjacant if they share one common side)
In the triangle $ABC$, the bisector of $\angle A$ intersects the bisection of $\angle B$ at the point $I, D$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $I$ onto $BC$. Prove that the bisector of $\angle BIC$ is perpendicular to the bisector $\angle AID$.
