A point $D$ lies inside triangle $ABC$. Let $A_1, B_1, C_1$ be the second intersection points of the lines $AD$, $BD$, and $CD$ with the circumcircles of $BDC$, $CDA$, and $ADB$, respectively. Prove that $$\frac{AD}{AA_1} + \frac{BD}{BA_1} + \frac{CD}{CC_1} = 1.$$
Let $(A,+,\cdot)$ be a finite unit ring, with $n\geq 3$ elements in which there exist [b]exactly[/b] $\dfrac {n+1}2$ perfect squares (e.g. a number $b\in A$ is called a perfect square if and only if there exists an $a\in A$ such that $b=a^2$). Prove that a) $1+1$ is invertible; b) $(A,+,\cdot)$ is a field. [i]Proposed by Marian Andronache[/i]

Let $M$ be a point on the edge $CD$ of a tetrahedron $ABCD$ such that the tetrahedra $ABCM$ and $ABDM$ have the same total areas. We denote by $\pi_{AB}$ the plane $ABM$. Planes $\pi_{AC},...,\pi_{CD}$ are analogously defined. Prove that the six planes $\pi_{AB},...,\pi_{CD}$ are concurrent in a certain point $N$, and show that $N$ is symmetric to the incenter $I$ with respect to the barycenter $G$.
An integer is a perfect number if and only if it is equal to the sum of all of its divisors except itself. For example, $28$ is a perfect number since $28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14$. Let $n!$ denote the product $1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot ...\cdot n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. An integer is a factorial if and only if it is equal to $n!$ for some positive integer $n$. For example, $24$ is a factorial number since $24 = 4! = 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4$. Find all perfect numbers greater than $1$ that are also factorials.
Suppose that $f:P(\mathbb N)\longrightarrow \mathbb N$ and $A$ is a subset of $\mathbb N$. We call $f$ $A$-predicting if the set $\{x\in \mathbb N|x\notin A, f(A\cup x)\neq x \}$ is finite. Prove that there exists a function that for every subset $A$ of natural numbers, it's $A$-predicting. [i]proposed by Sepehr Ghazi-Nezami[/i]
Find the last two digits of $\tbinom{200}{100}$. Express the answer as an integer between $0$ and $99$. (e.g. if the last two digits are $05$, just write $5$.)

Let $n>4$ be a positive integer, which is divisible by $4$. We denote by $A_n$ the sum of the odd positive divisors of $n$. We also denote $B_n$ the sum of the even positive divisors of $n$, excluding the number $n$ itself. Find the least possible value of the expression $$f(n)=B_n-2A_n,$$ for all possible values of $n$, as well as for which positive integers $n$ this minimum value is attained.
