On the side $AB$ of the triangle $ABC$ mark the point $K$. The segment $CK$ intersects the median $AM$ at the point $F$. It is known that $AK = AF$. Find the ratio $MF: BK$.
Let $ABC$ be a nonequilateral triangle. Prove that there exist two points $P$ and $Q$ in the plane of the triangle, one in the interior and one in the exterior of the circumcircle of $ABC$, such that the orthogonal projections of any of these two points on the sides of the triangle are vertices of an equilateral triangle.
J has $53$ cheetahs in his hair, which he will put in $10$ cages. Let $A$ be the number of cheetahs in the cage with the largest number of cheetahs (there could be a tie, but in this case take the number of cheetahs in one of the cages involved in the tie). Find the least possible value of $A.$
Let the polynomial $P(x) = a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_0$ has at least one real root and $a_0 \ne 0$. Prove that, consequently crossing out the monomials in the notation $P(x)$ in some order, we can obtain the number $a_0$ from it so that each intermediate polynomial also has at least one real root.
Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Let $T$ be the point of tangency of the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ and the $A$-mixtilinear incircle. The incircle of triangle $ABC$ has center $I$ and touches sides $BC,CA$ and $AB$ at points $D,E$ and $F,$ respectively. Let $N$ be the midpoint of line segment $DF.$ Prove that the circumcircle of triangle $BTN,$ line $TI$ and the perpendicular from $D$ to $EF$ are concurrent.

Participants to an olympiad worked on $n$ problems. Each problem was worth a [color=#FF0000]positive [/color]integer number of points, determined by the jury. A contestant gets $0$ points for a wrong answer, and all points for a correct answer to a problem. It turned out after the olympiad that the jury could impose worths of the problems, so as to obtain any (strict) final ranking of the contestants. Find the greatest possible number of contestants.
On the plane find the locus of points whose coordinates satisfy $sin(x + y) = 0$.
Alice, Bob, and Charlie were on a hike and were wondering how far away the nearest town was. When Alice said, "We are at least 6 miles away," Bob replied, "We are at most 5 miles away." Charlie then remarked, "Actually the nearest town is at most 4 miles away." It turned out that none of the three statements were true. Let $d$ be the distance in miles to the nearest town. Which of the following intervals is the set of all possible values of $d$? $\textbf{(A) } (0,4) \qquad \textbf{(B) } (4,5) \qquad \textbf{(C) } (4,6) \qquad \textbf{(D) } (5,6) \qquad \textbf{(E) } (5,\infty) $
Let $ABC$ be a right triangle where $\measuredangle A = 90^\circ$ and $M\in (AB)$ such that $\frac{AM}{MB}=3\sqrt{3}-4$. It is known that the symmetric point of $M$with respect to the line $GI$ lies on $AC$. Find the measure of $\measuredangle B$.
Call an integer $k$ [i]debatable[/i] if the number of odd factors of $k$ is a power of two. What is the largest positive integer $n$ such that there exists $n$ consecutive debatable numbers? (Here, a power of two is defined to be any number of the form $2^m$, where $m$ is a nonnegative integer.) [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]
Write the number 1997 as the sum of positive integers for which the product is maximal, and prove there's no better solution.
Consider triangle $ABC$ with $AB = AC$ and $\angle A = 40 ^o$. The points $S$ and $T$ are on the sides $AB$ and $BC$, respectively, so that $\angle BAT = \angle BCS= 10 ^o$. The lines $AT$ and $CS$ intersect at point $P$. Prove that $BT = 2PT$.
Let $f$ be a non-constant function from the set of positive integers into the set of positive integer, such that $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all distinct positive integers $a$, $b$. Prove that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p$ divides $f(c)$ for some positive integer $c$. [i]Proposed by Juhan Aru, Estonia[/i]

Let ${k}$ be a fi xed positive integer. A finite sequence of integers ${x_1,x_2, ..., x_n}$ is written on a blackboard. Pepa and Geoff are playing a game that proceeds in rounds as follows. - In each round, Pepa first partitions the sequence that is currently on the blackboard into two or more contiguous subsequences (that is, consisting of numbers appearing consecutively). However, if the number of these subsequences is larger than ${2}$, then the sum of numbers in each of them has to be divisible by ${k}$. - Then Geoff selects one of the subsequences that Pepa has formed and wipes all the other subsequences from the blackboard. The game fi nishes once there is only one number left on the board. Prove that Pepa may choose his moves so that independently of the moves of Geoff, the game fi nishes after at most ${3k}$ rounds.

A point $M$ is chosen on the arc $AC$ of the circumcircle of the equilateral triangle $ABC$. $P$ is the midpoint of this arc, $N$ is the midpoint of the chord $BM$ and $K$ is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from $P$ to $MC$. Prove that the triangle $ANK$ is equilateral. (I Nagel, Yevpatoria)
Let $ABC$ be a triangle. $I$ is the incenter, and the incircle is tangent to $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ at $D$, $E$, $F$, respectively. $P$ is the second point of intersection of $AD$ and the incircle. If $M$ is the midpoint of $EF$, show that $P$, $I$, $M$, $D$ are concyclic.
In triangle $ABC$ with incenter $I$ and circumcenter $O$, let $A',B',C'$ be the points of tangency of its circumcircle with its $A,B,C$-mixtilinear circles, respectively. Let $\omega_A$ be the circle through $A'$ that is tangent to $AI$ at $I$, and define $\omega_B, \omega_C$ similarly. Prove that $\omega_A,\omega_B,\omega_C$ have a common point $X$ other than $I$, and that $\angle AXO = \angle OXA'$. [i]Proposed by Sammy Luo[/i]
Let $t$ and $n$ be fixed integers each at least $2$. Find the largest positive integer $m$ for which there exists a polynomial $P$, of degree $n$ and with rational coefficients, such that the following property holds: exactly one of \[ \frac{P(k)}{t^k} \text{ and } \frac{P(k)}{t^{k+1}} \] is an integer for each $k = 0,1, ..., m$.

There are 2019 students in a school, and some of these students are members of different student clubs. Each student club has an advisory board consisting of 12 students who are members of that particular club. An {\em advisory meeting} (for a particular club) can be realized only when each participant is a member of that club, and moreover, each of the 12 students forming the advisory board are present among the participants. It is known that each subset of at least 12 students in this school can realize an advisory meeting for exactly one student club. Determine all possible numbers of different student clubs with exactly 27 members.
Let $x$ and $y$ be positive integers we have a table $x\times y$ where $(x + 1)(y + 1)$ points are red(the points are the vertices of the squares). Initially there is one ant in each red point, in a moment the ants walk by the lines of the table with same speed, each turn that an ant arrive in a red point the ant moves $90º$ to some direction. Determine all values of $x$ and $y$ where is possible that the ants move indefinitely where can't be in any moment two ants in the same red point.
Let $f :\mathbb{N} \rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ be an injective function such that $f(1) = 2,~ f(2) = 4$ and \[f(f(m) + f(n)) = f(f(m)) + f(n)\] for all $m, n \in \mathbb{N}$. Prove that $f(n) = n + 2$ for all $n \ge 2$.
