A positive integer $N$ is called [i]balanced[/i], if $N=1$ or if $N$ can be written as a product of an even number of not necessarily distinct primes. Given positive integers $a$ and $b$, consider the polynomial $P$ defined by $P(x)=(x+a)(x+b)$.
(a) Prove that there exist distinct positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that all the number $P(1)$, $P(2)$,$\ldots$, $P(50)$ are balanced.
(b) Prove that if $P(n)$ is balanced for all positive integers $n$, then $a=b$.

Consider the isosceles right triangle $ABC$ with $\angle BAC = 90^\circ$. Let $\ell$ be the line passing through $B$ and the midpoint of side $AC$. Let $\Gamma$ be the circumference with diameter $AB$. The line $\ell$ and the circumference $\Gamma$ meet at point $P$, different from $B$. Show that the circumference passing through $A,\ C$ and $P$ is tangent to line $BC$ at $C$.

In the fictional country of Mahishmati, there are $50$ cities, including a capital city. Some pairs of cities are connected by two-way flights. Given a city $A$, an ordered list of cities $C_1,\ldots, C_{50}$ is called an [i]antitour[/i] from $A$ if
[list]
[*] every city (including $A$) appears in the list exactly once, and
[*] for each $k\in \{1,2,\ldots, 50\}$, it is impossible to go from $A$ to $C_k$ by a sequence of exactly $k$ (not necessarily distinct) flights.
[/list]
Baahubali notices that there is an antitour from $A$ for any city $A$. Further, he can take a sequence of flights, starting from the capital and passing through each city exactly once. Find the least possible total number of antitours from the capital city.

Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be given integers, $a>0$, $ac-b^2=p$ a squarefree positive integer. Let $M(n)$ denote the number of pairs of integers $(x, y)$ for which $ax^2 +bxy+cy^2=n$. Prove that $M(n)$ is finite and $M(n)=M(p^{k} \cdot n)$ for every integer $k \ge 0$.

The number 7 is written on a board. Alice and Bob in turn (Alice begins) write an additional digit in the number on the board: it is allowed to write the digit at the beginning (provided the digit is nonzero), between any two digits or at the end. If after someone’s turn the number on the board is a perfect square then this person wins. Is it possible for a player to guarantee the win?

Equilateral triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\Omega$, which has a radius of $1$. Let the midpoint of $BC$ be $M$. Line $AM$ intersects $\Omega$ again at point $D$. Let $\omega$ be the circle with diameter $MD$. Compute the radius of the circle that is tangent to BC on the same side of $BC$ as $\omega$, internally tangent to $\Omega$, and externally tangent to $\omega$.

There are three types of tiles: an L-shaped tile with three $1\times 1$ squares, a $2\times 2$ square, and a Z-shaped tile with four $1\times 1$ squares. We tile a $(2n-1)\times (2n-1)$ square using these tiles. Prove that there are at least $4n-1$ L-shaped tiles.
