Prove that when three circles share the same chord $AB$, every line through $A$ different from $AB$ determines the same ratio $X Y : Y Z$, where $X$ is an arbitrary point different from $B$ on the first circle while $Y$ and $Z$ are the points where AX intersects the other two circles (labeled so that $Y$ is between $X$ and $Z$).
[b]p1.[/b] Al usually arrives at the train station on the commuter train at $6:00$, where his wife Jane meets him and drives him home. Today Al caught the early train and arrived at $5:00$. Rather than waiting for Jane, he decided to jog along the route he knew Jane would take and hail her when he saw her. As a result, Al and Jane arrived home $12$ minutes earlier than usual. If Al was jogging at a constant speed of $5$ miles per hour, and Jane always drives at the constant speed that would put her at the station at $6:00$, what was her speed, in miles per hour?

A lucky number is a number whose digits are only $4$ or $7.$ What is the $17$th smallest lucky number?
[i]Author: Ray Li[/i]
[hide="Clarifications"]
[list=1][*]Lucky numbers are positive.
[*]"only 4 or 7" includes combinations of 4 and 7, as well as only 4 and only 7. That is, 4 and 47 are both lucky numbers.[/list][/hide]
Show that
$$ \frac{a^4}{(a+b)\left( a^2+b^2 \right)} +\frac{b^4}{(b+c)\left( b^2+c^2 \right)} +\frac{c^4}{(c+a)\left( c^2+a^2 \right)}\ge \frac{a+b+c}{4} , $$
for any positive real numbers $ a,b,c. $

For which positive integers $n \ge 3$ is it possible to mark $n$ points of a plane in such a way that, starting from one marked point and moving on each step to the marked point which is the second closest to the current point, one can walk through all the marked points and return to the initial one? For each point, the second closest marked point must be uniquely determined.
In a quadrilateral $ABCD$, we have $\angle ACB = \angle ADB = 90$ and $CD < BC$. Denote $E$ as the intersection of $AC$ and $BD$, and let the perpendicular bisector of $BD$ hit $BC$ at $F$. The circle with center $F$ which passes through $B$ hits $AB$ at $P (\neq B)$ and $AC$ at $Q$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $EP$. Prove that the circumcircle of $EPQ$ is tangent to $AB$ if and only if $B, M, Q$ are colinear.
Let $ P$ and $ Q$ be the common points of two circles. The ray with origin $ Q$ reflects from the first circle in points $ A_1$, $ A_2$,$ \ldots$ according to the rule ''the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection''. Another ray with origin $ Q$ reflects from the second circle in the points $ B_1$, $ B_2$,$ \ldots$ in the same manner. Points $ A_1$, $ B_1$ and $ P$ occurred to be collinear. Prove that all lines $ A_iB_i$ pass through P.
Let $k$ and $m$, with $k > m$, be positive integers such that the number $km(k^2 - m^2)$ is divisible by $k^3 - m^3$. Prove that $(k - m)^3 > 3km$.
Study the convergence of the sequence
$$ \left( \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} \sqrt[k]{n+1} -\sum_{k=2}^{n} \sqrt[k]{n} \right)_{n\ge 2} , $$
and calculate its limit.

Dagan has a wooden cube. He paints each of the six faces a different color. He then cuts up the cube to get eight identically-sized smaller cubes, each of which now has three painted faces and three unpainted faces. He then puts the smaller cubes back together into one larger cube such that no unpainted face is visible. Compute the number of different cubes that Dagan can make this way. Two cubes are considered the same if one can be rotated to obtain the other. You may express your answer either as an integer or as a product of prime numbers.
In right triangle $ ABC$ with right angle at $ C$, $ \angle BAC < 45$ degrees and $ AB \equal{} 4$. Point $ P$ on $ AB$ is chosen such that $ \angle APC \equal{} 2\angle ACP$ and $ CP \equal{} 1$. The ratio $ \frac{AP}{BP}$ can be represented in the form $ p \plus{} q\sqrt{r}$, where $ p,q,r$ are positive integers and $ r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ p\plus{}q\plus{}r$.

We have three circles $w_1$, $w_2$ and $\Gamma$ at the same side of line $l$ such that $w_1$ and $w_2$ are tangent to $l$ at $K$ and $L$ and to $\Gamma$ at $M$ and $N$, respectively.
