Let $A, B, C, D$ be four different points on a line $\ell$, such that $AB = BC = CD$. In one of the semiplanes determined by the line $\ell$, the points $P$ and $Q$ are chosen in such a way that the triangle $CPQ$ is equilateral with its vertices named clockwise. Let $M$ and $N$ be two points on the plane such that the triangles $MAP$ and $NQD$ are equilateral (the vertices are also named clockwise). Find the measure of the angle $\angle MBN$.

In an isosceles triangle $ABC, I$ is the center of the inscribed circle, $M_1$ is the midpoint of the side $BC, K_2, K_3$ are the points of contact of the inscribed circle of the triangle with segments $AC$ and $AB$, respectively. The point $P$ lies on the circumcircle of the triangle $BCI$, and the angle $M_1PI$ is right. Prove that the lines $BC, PI, K_2K_3$ intersect at one point. (Mikhail Plotnikov)

Determine if there exist four polynomials such that the sum of any three of them has a real root while the sum of any two of them does not.

A city has $4$ horizontal and $n\geq3$ vertical boulevards which intersect at $4n$ crossroads. The crossroads divide every horizontal boulevard into $n-1$ streets and every vertical boulevard into $3$ streets. The mayor of the city decides to close the minimum possible number of crossroads so that the city doesn't have a closed path(this means that starting from any street and going only through open crossroads without turning back you can't return to the same street). $a)$Prove that exactly $n$ crossroads are closed. $b)$Prove that if from any street you can go to any other street and none of the $4$ corner crossroads are closed then exactly $3$ crossroads on the border are closed(A crossroad is on the border if it lies either on the first or fourth horizontal boulevard, or on the first or the n-th vertical boulevard).

In a $12\times 12$ square table some stones are placed in the cells with at most one stone per cell. If the number of stones on each line, column, and diagonal is even, what is the maximum number of the stones? [b]Note[/b]. Each diagonal is parallel to one of two main diagonals of the table and consists of $1,2\ldots,11$ or $12$ cells.

Prove that for every integer $S\ge100$ there exists an integer $P$ for which the following story could hold true: The mathematician asks the shop owner: ``How much are the table, the cabinet and the bookshelf?'' The shop owner replies: ``Each item costs a positive integer amount of Euros. The table is more expensive than the cabinet, and the cabinet is more expensive than the bookshelf. The sum of the three prices is $S$ and their product is $P$.'' The mathematician thinks and complains: ``This is not enough information to determine the three prices!''

Peter has $2022$ pieces of magnetic railroad cars, which are of two types: some have the front with north and the rear with south magnetic polarity, and some have the rear with north and the rear with south magnetic polarity (on these railroad cars the front and the rear can be distinguished). Peter wants to decide whether there is the same number of both types of cars. He can try to fit together two cars in one try. What is the least number of tries needed?
