Points $A,B,C$are chosen inside the triangle $ A_{1}B_{1}C_{1},$ so that the quadrilaterals $B_{1}CBC_{1}, C_{1}ACA_{1}$ and $A_{1}BAB_{1}$ are inscribed in the circles $\Omega _{A}, \Omega _{B}$ and $\Omega _{C},$ respectively. The circle $Y_{A}$ internally touches the circles $\Omega _{B}, \Omega _{C}$ and externally touches the circle $\Omega _{A}.$ The common interior tangent to the circles $Y_{A}$ and $\Omega _{A}$ intersects the line $BC$ at point $A'.$ Points $B'$ and $C'$ are analogously defined. Prove that points $A',B'$ and $C'$ are lying on the same line.

Let \(f:\{0, 1\}^n \to \{0, 1\} \subseteq \mathbb{R}\) be a function. Call such a function a Boolean function. Let \(\wedge\) denote the component-wise multiplication in \(\{0,1\}^n\). For example, for \(n = 4\), \[(0,0,1,1) \wedge (0,1,0,1) = (0,0,0,1).\] Let \(S = \left\{i_1,i_2,\ldots ,i_k\right\} \subseteq \left\{1,2,\ldots ,n\right\}\). \(f\) is called the oligarchy function over \(S\) if \[f (x) = x_{i_1},x_{i_2},\ldots,x_{i_k}\ \text{ (with the usual multiplication),}\] where \(x_i\) denotes the \(i\)-th component of \(x\). By convention, \(f\) is called the oligarchy function over \(\emptyset\) if \(f\) is constantly 1. (i) Suppose \(f\) is not constantly zero. Show that \(f\) is an oligarchy function [u]if and only if[/u] \(f\) satisfies \[f(x\wedge y)=f(x)f(y),\ \forall x,y\in\left\{0,1\right\}^n.\] Let \(Y\) be a uniformly distributed random variable over \(\left\{0, 1\right\}^n\). Let \(T\) be an operator that maps Boolean functions to functions \(\left\{0, 1\right\}^n\to\mathbb{R}\), such that \[(Tf)(x)=E_Y(f(x\wedge Y)),\ \forall x\in\left\{0,1\right\}^n\] where \(E_Y()\) denotes the expectation over \(Y\). \(f\) is called an eigenfunction of \(T\) if \(\exists\lambda\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\left\{0\right\}\) such that \[(Tf)(x)=\lambda f(x),\ \forall x\in\left\{0,1\right\}^n\] (ii) Prove that \(f\) is an eigenfunction of \(T\) [u]if and only if[/u] \(f\) is an oligarchy function.

The road infrastructure in a country consists of an even number of direct roads, each of which is bidirectional. Moreover, for any two cities $X$ and $Y$, there is at most one direct road between the two of them and there exists a sequence $X = X_0, X_1, ..., X_{n - 1}, X_n = Y$ of cities such that for any $i = 0, ..., n - 1$, there exists a direct road between $X_i$ and $X_{i + 1}$. Prove that all direct roads in this country can be oriented (i.e. each road can become a one-way road) such that each city $X$ is the starting point for an even number of direct roads.

2019 Centroamerican and Caribbean Math Olympiad, 2

We have a regular polygon $P$ with 2019 vertices, and in each vertex there is a coin. Two players [i]Azul[/i] and [i]Rojo[/i] take turns alternately, beginning with Azul, in the following way: first, Azul chooses a triangle with vertices in $P$ and colors its interior with blue, then Rojo selects a triangle with vertices in $P$ and colors its interior with red, so that the triangles formed in each move don't intersect internally the previous colored triangles. They continue playing until it's not possible to choose another triangle to be colored. Then, a player wins the coin of a vertex if he colored the greater quantity of triangles incident to that vertex (if the quantities of triangles colored with blue or red incident to the vertex are the same, then no one wins that coin and the coin is deleted). The player with the greater quantity of coins wins the game. Find a winning strategy for one of the players. [i]Note.[/i] Two triangles can share vertices or sides.
