A triangle and two points inside it are marked. It is known that one of the triangle’s angles is equal to $58^{\circ}$, one of two remaining angles is equal to $59^{\circ}$, one of two given points is the incenter of the triangle and the second one is its circumcenter. Using only the ruler without partitions determine where is each of the angles and where is each of the centers.
As shown in the figure below, $ABCD$ is a trapezoid, $AB \parallel CD$. The sides $DA$, $AB$, $BC$ are tangent to $\odot O_1$ and $AB$ touches $\odot O_1$ at $P$. The sides $BC$, $CD$, $DA$ are tangent to $\odot O_2$, and $CD$ touches $\odot O_2$ at $Q$. Prove that the lines $AC$, $BD$, $PQ$ meet at the same point.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 5$, $BC = 4$, and $CA = 3$. Initially, there is an ant at each vertex. The ants start walking at a rate of $1$ unit per second, in the direction $A \to B \to C \to A$ (so the ant starting at $A$ moves along ray $\overrightarrow{AB}$, etc.). For a positive real number $t$ less than$ 3$, let $A(t)$ be the area of the triangle whose vertices are the positions of the ants after $t$ seconds have elapsed. For what positive real number $t$ less than $3$ is $A(t)$ minimized?

Jane has two bags $X$ and $Y$. Bag $X$ contains 4 red marbles and 5 blue marbles (and nothing else). Bag $Y$ contains 7 red marbles and 6 blue marbles (and nothing else). Jane will choose one of her bags at random (each bag being equally likely). From her chosen bag, she will then select one of the marbles at random (each marble in that bag being equally likely). What is the probability that she will select a red marble?
Consider a sequence of polynomials $P_0(x), P_1(x), P_2(x), \ldots, P_n(x), \ldots$, where $P_0(x) = 2, P_1(x) = x$ and for every $n \geq 1$ the following equality holds: \[P_{n+1}(x) + P_{n-1}(x) = xP_n(x).\] Prove that there exist three real numbers $a, b, c$ such that for all $n \geq 1,$ \[(x^2 - 4)[P_n^2(x) - 4] = [aP_{n+1}(x) + bP_n(x) + cP_{n-1}(x)]^2.\]
Kikoriki live on the shores of a pond in the form of an equilateral triangle with a side of $600$ m, Krash and Wally live on the same shore, $300$ m from each other. In summer, Dokko to Krash walk $900$ m, and Wally to Rosa - also $900$ m. Prove that in winter, when the pond freezes and it will be possible to walk directly on the ice, Dokko will walk as many meters to Krash as Wally to Rosa.

A $9 \times 10$ board is divided into $90$ unit cells. There are certain rules for moving a non-standard chess queen from one square to another: [list] [*]The queen can only move along the column or row it is in each step. [*]For any natural number $n$, if $x$ cells move made in $(2n-1)$th step, then $9-x$ cells move will be done in $(2n)$th step. The last cell it stops at during these steps is considered the visited cell. [/list] Is it possible for the queen to move from any square on the board and return to the square where it started after visiting all the squares of the board exactly once? Note: At each step, the queen chooses the right, left, up, and down direction within the above condition can choose.
Two players, Red and Blue, play in alternating turns on a 10x10 board. Blue goes first. In his turn, a player picks a row or column (not chosen by any player yet) and color all its squares with his own color. If any of these squares was already colored, the new color substitutes the old one. The game ends after 20 turns, when all rows and column were chosen. Red wins if the number of red squares in the board exceeds at least by 10 the number of blue squares; otherwise Blue wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy and describe this strategy.
Let $(a_n)$ be the integer sequence which is defined by $a_1= 1$ and $$ a_{n+1}=a_n^2 + n \cdot a_n \,\, , \,\, \forall n \ge 1.$$ Let $S$ be the set of all primes $p$ such that there exists an index $i$ such that $p|a_i$. Prove that the set $S$ is an infinite set and it is not equal to the set of all primes.
The points $A, B$ and $C$ lie on the surface of a sphere with center $O$ and radius 20. It is given that $AB=13, BC=14, CA=15,$ and that the distance from $O$ to triangle $ABC$ is $\frac{m\sqrt{n}}k,$ where $m, n,$ and $k$ are positive integers, $m$ and $k$ are relatively prime, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+k.$
Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral, with $\measuredangle ABC > 90^\circ$, $\measuredangle CDA > 90^\circ$ and $\measuredangle DAB = \measuredangle BCD$. Let $E$, $F$ and $G$ be the reflections of $A$ with respect to the lines $BC$, $CD$ and $DB$. Finally, let the line $BD$ meet the line segment $AE$ at a point $K$, and the line segment $AF$ at a point $L$. Prove that the circumcircles of the triangles $BEK$ and $DFL$ are tangent to each other at $G$.
There is a very popular race course where runners frequently go for a daily run. Assume that all runners randomly select a start time, a starting position on the course, and a direction to run. Also assume that all runners make exactly one complete circuit of the race course, all runners run at the same speed, and all runners complete the circuit in one hour. Suppose that one afternoon you go for a run on this race course, and you count $300$ runners which you pass going in the opposite direction, although some of those runners you count twice since you pass them twice. What is the expected value of the number of different runners that you pass not counting duplicates?
We have four wooden triangles with sides $3, 4, 5$ centimeters. How many convex polygons can we make by all of these triangles? (Just draw the polygons without any proof) A convex polygon is a polygon which all of it's angles are less than $180^o$ and there isn't any hole in it. For example: [img]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JgvF_B-uRag/W1R4f4AXxTI/AAAAAAAAIzc/Fo3qu3pxXcoElk01RTYJYZNwj0plJaKPQCK4BGAYYCw/s640/igo%2B2015.el1.png[/img]

(a) The vertices of a regular $10$-gon are painted in turn black and white. Two people play the following game . Each in turn draws a diagonal connecting two vertices of the same colour . These diagonals must not intersect . The winner is the player who is able to make the last move. Who will win if both players adopt the best strategy? (b) Answer the same question for the regular $12$-gon . (V.G. Ivanov)
The hexagon $ABCDEF$ is inscribed in a circle, $AB = BC = a, CD = DE = b$, and $EF = FA = c$. Prove that the area of triangle $BDF$ equals half the area of the hexagon. (I.P. Nagel, Yevpatoria).
The material of new ball corset of the princess is quadrilateral . The tailor must sew four decorative strips on it. Two of gold, two of silver. Two of the same color on two opposite sides and the other two on it to a midline not intersecting them. The tailor is not yet familiar with the dress final shape. However, you will definitely sew the dress to be the cheapest (i.e., the gold stripe should be shorter than the silver). For design, it would be important to know what color stripe is centered. Can you decide this without knowing the the exact shape of the dress? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/8/1/85d40e7a352e468d0c9da7530c6a0378575de0.png[/img]
