Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are externally tangent to each other. Circle $\Omega$ is placed such that $\omega_1$ is internally tangent to $\Omega$ at $X$ while $\omega_2$ is internally tangent to $\Omega$ at $Y$. Line $\ell$ is tangent to $\omega_1$ at $P$ and $\omega_2$ at $Q$ and furthermore intersects $\Omega$ at points $A$ and $B$ with $AP<AQ$. Suppose that $AP=2$, $PQ=4$, and $QB=3$. Compute the length of line segment $\overline{XY}$.
Consider a circle $\Gamma$, a point $A$ on its exterior, and the points of tangency $B$ and $C$ from $A$ to $\Gamma$. Let $P$ be a point on the segment $AB$, distinct from $A$ and $B$, and let $Q$ be the point on $AC$ such that $PQ$ is tangent to $\Gamma$. Points $R$ and $S$ are on lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, such that $PQ\parallel RS$ and $RS$ is tangent to $\Gamma$ as well. Prove that $[APQ]\cdot[ARS]$ does not depend on the placement of point $P$.

An equilateral triangle with side length $3$ is divided into $9$ congruent triangular cells as shown in the figure below. Initially all the cells contain $0$. A [i]move[/i] consists of selecting two adjacent cells (i.e., cells sharing a common boundary) and either increasing or decreasing the numbers in both the cells by $1$ simultaneously. Determine all positive integers $n$ such that after performing several such moves one can obtain $9$ consecutive numbers $n,(n+1),\cdots ,(n+8)$ in some order.

In isosceles trapezoid $ABCD$ with $AB < CD$ and $BC = AD$, the angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ intersect $CD$ at $E$ and $F$ respectively, and intersect each other outside the trapezoid at $G$. Given that $AD = 8$, $EF = 3$, and $EG = 4$, the area of $ABCD$ can be expressed as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ for positive integers $a, b$, and $c$, with $a$ and $c$ relatively prime and $b$ squarefree. Find $10000a +100b +c$.
Fernando has six coins, one of which is fake. We do not know what the weight of a fake coin is or the weight of a real coin, we only know that real coins all have the same weight and that the weight of the fake coin is different. Using a two-pan scale, show that it is possible to discover the fake coin using just $3$ weighings.

The natural numbers are colored green or blue so that:
$\bullet$ The sum of a green and a blue is blue;
$\bullet$ The product of a green and a blue is green.
How many ways are there to color the natural numbers with these rules, so that $462$ are blue and $2016$ are green?
Let us consider a set $S = \{ a_1 < a_2 < \ldots < a_{2004}\}$, satisfying the following properties: $f(a_i) < 2003$ and $f(a_i) = f(a_j) \quad \forall i, j$ from $\{1, 2,\ldots , 2004\}$, where $f(a_i)$ denotes number of elements which are relatively prime with $a_i$. Find the least positive integer $k$ for which in every $k$-subset of $S$, having the above mentioned properties there are two distinct elements with greatest common divisor greater than 1.

$ABCD$ is a rectangle with $AB = CD = 2$. A circle centered at $O$ is tangent to $BC$, $CD$, and $AD$ (and hence has radius $1$). Another circle, centered at $P$, is tangent to circle $O$ at point $T$ and is also tangent to $AB$ and $BC$. If line $AT$ is tangent to both circles at $T$, find the radius of circle $P$.
