(A.Zaslavsky) Given two triangles $ ABC$, $ A'B'C'$. Denote by $ \alpha$ the angle between the altitude and the median from vertex $ A$ of triangle $ ABC$. Angles $ \beta$, $ \gamma$, $ \alpha'$, $ \beta'$, $ \gamma'$ are defined similarly. It is known that $ \alpha \equal{} \alpha'$, $ \beta \equal{} \beta'$, $ \gamma \equal{} \gamma'$. Can we conclude that the triangles are similar?

For a positive integer $n$, a cubic polynomial $p(x)$ is said to be [i]$n$-good[/i] if there exist $n$ distinct integers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ such that all the roots of the polynomial $p(x) + a_i = 0$ are integers for $1 \le i \le n$. Given a positive integer $n$ prove that there exists an $n$-good cubic polynomial.

Shivani has a single square with vertices labeled $ABCD$. She is able to perform the following transformations:
$\bullet$ She does nothing to the square.
$\bullet$ She rotates the square by $90$, $180$, or $270$ degrees.
$\bullet$ She reflects the square over one of its four lines of symmetry.
For the first three timesteps, Shivani only performs reflections or does nothing. Then for the next three timesteps, she only performs rotations or does nothing. She ends up back in the square’s original configuration. Compute the number of distinct ways she could have achieved this.

When we cut a rope into two pieces, we say that the cut is special if both pieces have different lengths. We cut a chord of length $2008$ into two pieces with integer lengths and we write those lengths on the board. Afterwards, we cut one of the pieces into two new pieces with integer lengths and we write those lengths on the board. This process ends until all pieces have length $1$.
$a)$ Find the minimum possible number of special cuts.
$b)$ Prove that, for all processes that have the minimum possible number of special cuts, the number of different integers on the board is always the same.

[b](a)[/b] Given a tetrahedron $ABCD$ and its four altitudes (i.e., lines through each vertex, perpendicular to the opposite face), assume that the altitude dropped from $D$ passes through the orthocenter $H_4$ of $\triangle ABC$. Prove that this altitude $DH_4$ intersects all the other three altitudes.

For an ordered $10$-tuple of nonnegative integers $a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_{10}$, we denote
\[f(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{10})=\left(\prod_{i=1}^{10} {\binom{20-(a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_{i-1})}{a_i}}\right) \cdot \left(\sum_{i=1}^{10} {\binom{18+i}{19}}a_i\right).\] When $i=1$, we take $a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_{i-1}$ to be $0$. Let $N$ be the average of $f(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{10})$ over all $10$-tuples of nonnegative integers $a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_{10}$ satisfying
\[a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_{10}=20.\]
