Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $D$ be a point on the internal angle bisector of $BAC$. Let $x$ be the ellipse with foci $B$ and $C$ passing through $D$, $y$ be the ellipse with foci $A$ and $C$ passing through $D$, and $z$ be the ellipse with foci $A$ and $B$ passing through $D$.

We are given a triangle $ABC$ in a plane $P$. To any line $D$, not parallel to any side of the triangle, we associate the barycenter $G_D$ of the set of intersection points of $D$ with the sides of $\triangle ABC$. The object of this problem is determining the set $\mathfrak F$ of points $G_D$ when $D$ varies. (a) If $D$ goes over all lines parallel to a given line $\delta$, prove that $G_D$ describes a line $\Delta_\delta$. (b) Assume $\triangle ABC$ is equilateral. Prove that all lines $\Delta_\delta$ are tangent to the same circle as $\delta$ varies, and describe the set $\mathfrak F$. (c) If $ABC$ is an arbitrary triangle, prove that one can find a plane $P$ and an equilateral triangle $A'B'C'$ whose orthogonal projection onto $P$ is $\triangle ABC$, and describe the set $\mathfrak F$ in the general case.

1986 IMO Shortlist, 12

To each vertex of a regular pentagon an integer is assigned, so that the sum of all five numbers is positive. If three consecutive vertices are assigned the numbers $x,y,z$ respectively, and $y<0$, then the following operation is allowed: $x,y,z$ are replaced by $x+y,-y,z+y$ respectively. Such an operation is performed repeatedly as long as at least one of the five numbers is negative. Determine whether this procedure necessarily comes to an end after a finite number of steps.

Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Sisyphus performs a sequence of turns on a board consisting of $n + 1$ squares in a row, numbered $0$ to $n$ from left to right. Initially, $n$ stones are put into square $0$, and the other squares are empty. At every turn, Sisyphus chooses any nonempty square, say with $k$ stones, takes one of these stones and moves it to the right by at most $k$ squares (the stone should say within the board). Sisyphus' aim is to move all $n$ stones to square $n$. Prove that Sisyphus cannot reach the aim in less than \[ \left \lceil \frac{n}{1} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{2} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{3} \right \rceil + \dots + \left \lceil \frac{n}{n} \right \rceil \] turns. (As usual, $\lceil x \rceil$ stands for the least integer not smaller than $x$. )

Rui Xuen has a circle $\omega$ with center $O$, and a square $ABCJ$ with vertices on $\omega$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AB$, and let $\Gamma$ be the circle passing through the points $J$, $O$, $M$. Suppose $\Gamma$ intersect line $AJ$ at a point $P \neq J$, and suppose $\Gamma$ intersect $\omega$ at a point $Q \neq J$. A point $R$ lies on side $BC$ so that $RC = 3RB$. Help Rui Xuen prove that the points $P$, $Q$, $R$ are collinear.

For positive integers $n$, let $S_n$ be the set of integers $x$ such that $n$ distinct lines, no three concurrent, can divide a plane into $x$ regions (for example, $S_2=\{3,4\}$, because the plane is divided into 3 regions if the two lines are parallel, and 4 regions otherwise). What is the minimum $i$ such that $S_i$ contains at least 4 elements?

In some cells of a rectangular table $m\times n (m, n> 1)$ is one checker. $Baby$ cut along the lines of the grid this table so that it is split into two equal parts, with the number of pieces on each side were the same. $Carlson$ changed the arrangement of checkers on the board (and on each side of the cage is still worth no more than one pieces). Prove that the $Baby$ may again cut the board into two equal parts containing an equal number of pieces
