Let $ABC$ be a triangle inscribed in a circle of center $O$ and radius $R$. Let $I$ be the incenter of $ABC$, and let $r$ be the inradius of the same triangle, $O\neq I$, and let $G$ be its centroid. Prove that $IG\perp BC$ if and only if $b=c$ or $b+c=3a$.

Milly chooses a positive integer $n$ and then Uriel colors each integer between $1$ and $n$ inclusive red or blue. Then Milly chooses four numbers $a, b, c, d$ of the same color (there may be repeated numbers). If $a+b+c= d$ then Milly wins. Determine the smallest $n$ Milly can choose to ensure victory, no matter how Uriel colors.
It is known that $a^{2005} + b^{2005}$ can be expressed as the polynomial of $a + b$ and $ab$. Find the coefficients' sum of this polynomial.

Some pairs of cities in the country are connected by airlines, and some are not. But every city has an airport, from which you can get to any other city, making no more than one transfer. A tourist who wants to make a round trip through several cities of the country will have to fly around at least five cities. Prove that the same number of airlines depart from each city of the country (If there is an airline from one city to another, then there is also one from the second to the first. A circular trip is a route that passes through at least three cities, starting and ending in same city, other cities are not repeated in it)
