Let $B = (-1, 0)$ and $C = (1, 0)$ be fixed points on the coordinate plane. A nonempty, bounded subset $S$ of the plane is said to be [i]nice[/i] if $\text{(i)}$ there is a point $T$ in $S$ such that for every point $Q$ in $S$, the segment $TQ$ lies entirely in $S$; and $\text{(ii)}$ for any triangle $P_1P_2P_3$, there exists a unique point $A$ in $S$ and a permutation $\sigma$ of the indices $\{1, 2, 3\}$ for which triangles $ABC$ and $P_{\sigma(1)}P_{\sigma(2)}P_{\sigma(3)}$ are similar. Prove that there exist two distinct nice subsets $S$ and $S'$ of the set $\{(x, y) : x \geq 0, y \geq 0\}$ such that if $A \in S$ and $A' \in S'$ are the unique choices of points in $\text{(ii)}$, then the product $BA \cdot BA'$ is a constant independent of the triangle $P_1P_2P_3$.

Given triangle $ ABC$ with sidelengths $ a,b,c$. Tangents to incircle of $ ABC$ that parallel with triangle's sides form three small triangle (each small triangle has 1 vertex of $ ABC$).

A tree has 10 pounds of apples at dawn. Every afternoon, a bird comes and eats x pounds of apples. Overnight, the amount of food on the tree increases by 10%. What is the maximum value of x such that the bird can sustain itself indefinitely on the tree without the tree running out of food?

We examine the following two sequences: The Fibonacci sequence: $F_{0}= 0, F_{1}= 1, F_{n}= F_{n-1}+F_{n-2 }$ for $n \geq 2$; The Lucas sequence: $L_{0}= 2, L_{1}= 1, L_{n}= L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 2$. It is known that for all $n \geq 0$ \[F_{n}=\frac{\alpha^{n}-\beta^{n}}{\sqrt{5}},L_{n}=\alpha^{n}+\beta^{n},\] where $\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\beta=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$. These formulae can be used without proof. Prove that $F_{n-1}F_{n}F_{n+1}L_{n-1}L_{n}L_{n+1}(n \geq 2)$ is not a perfect square.
