Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$. At point $A$ to $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ the tangents $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ are drawn respectively. The points $T_1$ and $T_2$ are chosen respectively on the circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ so that the angular measures of the arcs $T_1A$ and $AT_2$ are equal (the measure of the circular arc is calculated clockwise). The tangent $t_1$ at the point $ T_1$ to the circle $\omega_1$ intersects $\ell_2$ at the point $M_1$. Similarly, the tangent $t_2$ at the point $T_2$ to the circle $\omega_2$ intersects $\ell_1$ at point $M_2$. Prove that the midpoints of the segments $M_1M_2$ are on the same a straight line that does not depend on the position of points $T_1$, $T_2$.

A mathematics teacher writes a quadratic equation on the blackboard of the form $$x^2+mx \star n = 0$$, with $m$ and $n$ integers. The sign of $n$ is blurred. Even so, Claudia solves it and obtains integer solutions, one of which is $2011$. Find all possible values of $m$ and $n$.

1987 Tournament Of Towns, (163) 7

A certain town is represented as an infinite plane, which is divided by straight lines into squares. The lines are streets, while the squares are blocks. Along a certain street there stands a policeman on each $100$th intersection . Somewhere in the town there is a bandit , whose position and speed are unknown, but he can move only along the streets. The aim of the police is to see the bandit . Does there exist an algorithm available to the police to enable them to achieve their aim? (A. Andjans, Riga)

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 $x$. )

We call a set $X$ of real numbers [i]three-averaging[/i] if for every two distinct elements $a$ and $b$ of $X$, there exists an element $c$ in $X$ (different from both $a$ and $b$) such that the number $(a + b + c)/3$ also belongs to $X$. For instance, the set $\{ 0, 1008, 2016 \}$ is three-averaging. What is the least possible number of elements in a three-averaging set with more than 3 elements?

Two circles $(O)$ and $(O')$ intersect at $A$ and $B$. Take two points $P,Q$ on $(O)$ and $(O')$, respectively, such that $AP=AQ$. The line $PQ$ intersects $(O)$ and $(O')$ respectively at $M,N$.

In a ballroom, seven gentlemen $A, B, C, D, E, F$ and $G$ sit directly across from seven queens $a, b, c, d, e, f$ and $g$ in random order. When the gentlemen rise and walks across the dance floor to bow to each of their ladies, someone notices that at least two of the men travel equally long distances. Will it always be like this? The figure shows an example. In the example, $|Bb| =|Ee|$ and $|Dd|=|Cc|$. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/8/3/1e18a30b1e9acc90b24210fc7991b58062a69f.png[/img]

Let $N$ be a positive integer. There are $N$ tasks, numbered $1, 2, 3, \ldots, N$, to be completed. Each task takes one minute to complete and the tasks must be completed subjected to the following conditions: [list] [*] Any number of tasks can be performed at the same time. [*] For any positive integer $k$, task $k$ begins immediately after all tasks whose numbers are divisors of $k$, not including $k$ itself, are completed. [*] Task 1 is the first task to begin, and it begins by itself. [/list] Suppose $N = 2017$. How many minutes does it take for all of the tasks to complete? Which tasks are the last ones to complete?
