In $\vartriangle ABC$, $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$, and $AC = 15$. Draw the circumcircle of $\vartriangle ABC$, and suppose that the circumcircle has center $O$. Extend $AO$ past $O$ to a point $D$, $BO$ past $O$ to a point $E$, and $CO$ past $O$ to a point $F$ such that $D, E, F$ also lie on the circumcircle. Compute the area of the hexagon $AF BDCE$.
We have a regular $n{}$-gon, with $n\geqslant 4$. We consider the arrangements of $n{}$ numbers on its vertices, each of which is equal to 1 or 2. For each such arrangement $K{}$, we find the number of odd sums among all sums of numbers in several consecutive vertices. This number is denoted by $\alpha(K)$.
[list=a]
[*]Find the largest possible value of $\alpha(K)$.
[*]Find the number of arrangements for which $\alpha(K)$ takes this largest possible value.

Anton wrote $4$ positive integers on the board. Oleksii calculated their product, while Fedir calculated the sum of their fourth powers. Is it possible that Oleksii's number and Fedir's number have the same number of digits and that these numbers are written as digit-reversals of each other?

The incircle of a triangle $ABC$ centered at $I$ touches the sides $BC, CA$, and $AB$ at points $A_1, B_1, $ and $C_1$ respectively. The excircle centered at $J$ touches the side $AC$ at point $B_2$ and touches the extensions of $AB, BC$ at points $C_2, A_2$ respectively. Let the lines $IB_2$ and $JB_1$ meet at point $X$, the lines $IC_2$ and $JC_1$ meet at point $Y$, the lines $IA_2$ and $JA_1$ meet at point $Z$. Prove that if one of points $X, Y, Z$ lies on the incircle then two remaining points also lie on it.
It is given regular polygon with $2n$ sides and center $S$. Consider every quadrilateral with vertices as vertices of polygon. Let $u$ be number of such quadrilaterals which contain point $S$ inside and $v$ number of remaining quadrilaterals. Find $u-v$
Suppose Alan, Michael, Kevin, Igor, and Big Rahul are in a running race. It is given that exactly one pair of people tie (for example, two people both get second place), so that no other pair of people end in the same position. Each competitor has equal skill; this means that each outcome of the race, given that exactly two people tie, is equally likely. The probability that Big Rahul gets first place (either by himself or he ties for first) can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m+n$.
In the Generic Math Tournament, $99$ people participate. One of the participants, Alfred, scores 16th in Algebra, 30th in Combinatorics, and 23rd in Geometry (and does not tie with anyone). The overall ranking is computed by adding the scores from all three tests. Given this information, let $B$ be the best ranking that Alfred could have achieved, and let $W$ be the worst ranking that he could have achieved. Compute $100B+W$.

Points on a spherical surface with radius $4$ are colored in $4$ different colors. Prove that there exist two points with the same color such that the distance between them is either $4\sqrt{3}$ or $2\sqrt{6}$.
(Distance is Euclidean, that is, the length of the straight segment between the points)
On the side $AD$ of the convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ with an acute angle at $B$, a point $E$ is marked.
It is known that $\angle CAD = \angle ADC=\angle ABE =\angle DBE$.
(Grade 9 version) Prove that $BE+CE<AD$.
(Grade 10 version) Prove that $\triangle BCE$ is isosceles.(Here the condition that $\angle B$ is acute is not necessary.)
Is it true that any two rectangles of equal area can be placed in the plane such that any horizontal line intersecting at least one of them will also intersect the other, and the segments of intersection will be equal?
For each date of year $1998$, we calculate day$^{month}$ −year and determine the greatest power of $3$ that divides it. For example, for April $21$ we get $21^4 - 1998 =192483 = 3^3 \cdot 7129$, which is divisible by $3^3$ and not by $3^4$ . Find all dates for which this power of $3$ is the greatest.
In how many ways can we fill the cells of a $4\times4$ grid such that each cell contains exactly one positive integer and the product of the numbers in each row and each column is $2020$?
A game in a casino uses the diagram shown. At the start a ball appears at $S$. Each time the player presses a button, the ball moves to one of the adjacent letters with equal probability. The game ends when one of the following two things happens:
(i) The ball returns to $S$, the player loses.
(ii) The ball reaches $G$, the player wins.
Find the probability that the player wins and the expected duration of a game.
Incircle $\omega$ of $ABC$ touch $AC$ at $B_1$. Point $E,F$ on the $\omega$ such that $\angle AEB_1=\angle B_1FC=90$. Tangents to $\omega$ at $E,F$ intersects in $D$, and $B$ and $D$ are on different sides for line $AC$. $M$- midpoint of $AC$.

A fixed circle $\omega$ is inscribed into an angle with vertex $C$. An arbitrary circle passing through $C$, touches $\omega$ externally and meets the sides of the angle at points $A$ and $B$. Prove that the perimeters of all triangles $ABC$ are equal.

Two circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ with the respective radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ intersect in $A$ and $B.$ A variable line $r$ through $B$ meets $C_1$ and $C_2$ again at $P_r$ and $Q_r$ respectively. Prove that there exists a point $M,$ depending only on $C_1$ and $C_2,$ such that the perpendicular bisector of each segment $P_rQ_r$ passes through $M.$

For each point $X$ of a given polytope, denote by $f(X)$ the sum of the distances of the point $X$ from all the planes of the faces of the polytope. Prove that if $f$ attains its maximum at an interior point of the polytope, then $f$ is constant.
Given $n\ge 3$. consider a sequence $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$, if $(a_i,a_j,a_k)$ with i+k=2j (i<j<k) and $a_i+a_k\ne 2a_j$, we call such a triple a $NOT-AP$ triple. If a sequence has at least one $NOT-AP$ triple, find the least possible number of the $NOT-AP$ triple it contains.
