The convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in the circle $S_1$. Let $O$ be the intersection of $AC$ and $BD$. Circle $S_2$ passes through $D$ and $ O$, intersecting $AD$ and $CD$ at $ M$ and $ N$, respectively. Lines $OM$ and $AB$ intersect at $R$, lines $ON$ and $BC$ intersect at $T$, and $R$ and $T$ lie on the same side of line $BD$ as $ A$. Prove that $O$, $R$,$T$, and $B$ are concyclic.

Prove that $nP\ge 4d$, where $P$ is the perimeter of the polygon, and $d=\sum_{k=1}^n |\overrightarrow {A_kM}|$ . Investigate the question of the achievement of equality in this inequality.

Let $\mathcal{P}_1$ and $\mathcal{P}_2$ be two parabolas with distinct directrices $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ and distinct foci $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. It is known that $F_1F_2||\ell_1||\ell_2$, $F_1$ lies on $\mathcal{P}_2$, and $F_2$ lies on $\mathcal{P}_1$. The two parabolas intersect at distinct points $A$ and $B$. Given that $F_1F_2=1$, the value of $AB^2$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Find $100m+n$. [i]Proposed by Yannick Yao

Show that the graphs in the $x-y$ plane of all solutions of the system of differential equations $$x''+y'+6x=0, y''-x'+6y=0 ('=d/dt)$$ which satisfy $x'(0)=y'(0)=0$ are hypocycloids, and find the radius of the fixed circle and the two possible values of the radius of the rolling circle for each such solution. (A hypocycloid is the path described by a fixed point on the circumference of a circle which rolls on the inside of a given fixed circle.)

The kingdom of Anisotropy consists of $n$ cities. For every two cities there exists exactly one direct one-way road between them. We say that a [i]path from $X$ to $Y$[/i] is a sequence of roads such that one can move from $X$ to $Y$ along this sequence without returning to an already visited city. A collection of paths is called [i]diverse[/i] if no road belongs to two or more paths in the collection. Let $A$ and $B$ be two distinct cities in Anisotropy. Let $N_{AB}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $A$ to $B$. Similarly, let $N_{BA}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $B$ to $A$. Prove that the equality $N_{AB} = N_{BA}$ holds if and only if the number of roads going out from $A$ is the same as the number of roads going out from $B$.

Circles $S_1$ and $S_2$ intersect at points $P$ and $Q$. Distinct points $A_1$ and $B_1$ (not at $P$ or $Q$) are selected on $S_1$. The lines $A_1P$ and $B_1P$ meet $S_2$ again at $A_2$ and $B_2$ respectively, and the lines $A_1B_1$ and $A_2B_2$ meet at $C$. Prove that, as $A_1$ and $B_1$ vary, the circumcentres of triangles $A_1A_2C$ all lie on one fixed circle.
