On a rectangular piece of paper there are
(a) several marked points all on one straight line,
(b) three marked points (not necessarily on a straight line).
We are allowed to fold the paper several times along a straight line not containing marked points and then puncture the folded paper with a needle. Show that this can be done so that after the paper has been unfolded all the marked points are punctured and there are no extra holes.

Let $ ABC$ be a triangle with $ \angle A = 60^{\circ}$.Prove that if $ T$ is point of contact of Incircle And Nine-Point Circle, Then $ AT = r$,

Find all positive integers $n$ such that there are $\infty$ many lines of Pascal's triangle that have entries coprime to $n$ only. In other words: such that there are $\infty$ many $k$ with the property that the numbers $\binom{k}{0},\binom{k}{1},\binom{k}{2},...,\binom{k}{k}$ are all coprime to $n$.

Suppose that a council consists of five members and that decisions in this council are made according to a method based on the positive or negative vote of its members. The method used by this council has the following two properties:
$\bullet$ [b]Ascension:[/b]If the presumptive final decision is favorable and one of the opposing members changes his/her vote, the final decision will still be favorable.
$\bullet$ [b]Symmetry:[/b] If all of the members change their vote, the final decision will change too.
Prove that the council uses a weighted decision-making method ; that is , nonnegative weights $\omega _1 , \omega _2 , \cdots ,\omega _5$ can be assigned to members of the council such that the final decision is favorable if and only if sum of the weights of those in favor is greater than sum of the weights of the rest.
Remark. The statement isn't true at all if you replace $5$ with arbitrary $n$ . In fact , finding a counter example for $n=6$ , was appeared in the same year's [url=https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1459567p8417532]Iran MO 2nd round P6[/url]

Fix a triangle $ABC$. Let $\Gamma_1$ the circle through $B$, tangent to edge in $A$. Let $\Gamma_2$ the circle through C tangent to edge $AB$ in $A$.
