Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with center $O$ such that $BD$ bisects $AC.$ Suppose that the angle bisector of $\angle ABC$ intersects the angle bisector of $\angle ADC$ at a single point $X$ different than $B$ and $D.$ Prove that the line passing through the circumcenters of triangles $XAC$ and $XBD$ bisects the segment $OX.$ [i]Proposed by Viktor Ahmeti and Leart Ajvazaj, Kosovo[/i]

The $100$ vertices of a prism, whose base is a $50$-gon, are labeled with numbers $1, 2, 3, \ldots, 100$ in any order. Prove that there are two vertices, which are connected by an edge of the prism, with labels differing by not more than $48$. Note: In all the triangles the three vertices do not lie on a straight line.

Every cell in a $5\times5$ grid of paper is to be painted either red or white with equal probability. An edge of the paper is said to have a "tree" if the set of cells depicted in the diagram below are all painted red when the paper is rotated so that the edge lies at the bottom. Given that at least one edge of the paper has a tree, what is the expected number of edges that have a tree?

2009 IMO Shortlist, 6

On a $999\times 999$ board a [i]limp rook[/i] can move in the following way: From any square it can move to any of its adjacent squares, i.e. a square having a common side with it, and every move must be a turn, i.e. the directions of any two consecutive moves must be perpendicular. A [i]non-intersecting route[/i] of the limp rook consists of a sequence of pairwise different squares that the limp rook can visit in that order by an admissible sequence of moves. Such a non-intersecting route is called [i]cyclic[/i], if the limp rook can, after reaching the last square of the route, move directly to the first square of the route and start over. How many squares does the longest possible cyclic, non-intersecting route of a limp rook visit? [i]Proposed by Nikolay Beluhov, Bulgaria[/i]

Let $BB_1$ and $CC_1$ be the altitudes of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, which intersect its angle bisector $AL$ at two different points $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Denote by $F$ such a point that $PF\parallel AB$ and $QF\parallel AC$, and by $T$ the intersection point of the tangents drawn at points $B$ and $C$ to the circumscribed circle of the triangle $ABC$. Prove that the points $A, F$ and $T$ lie on the same line.

Find the positive integer $n$ such that \[ \underbrace{f(f(\cdots f}_{2013 \ f\text{'s}}(n)\cdots ))=2014^2+1 \] where $f(n)$ denotes the $n$th positive integer which is not a perfect square. [i]Proposed by David Stoner[/i]

Consider a $2021$-by-$2021$ board of unit squares. For some integer $k$, we say the board is tiled by $k$-by-$k$ squares if it is completely covered by (possibly overlapping) $k$-by-$k$ squares with their corners on the corners of the unit squares. What is the largest integer k such that the minimum number of $k$-by-$k$ squares needed to tile the $2021$-by-$2021$ board is exactly equal to $100$?

Danielle divides a $30 \times30$ board into $100$ regions that are $3 \times 3$ squares squares each and then paint some squares black and the rest white. Then to each region assigns it the color that has the most squares painted with that color. a) If there are more black regions than white, what is the minimum number $N$ of cells that Danielle can paint black? b) In how many ways can Danielle paint the board if there are more black regions than white and she uses the minimum number $N$ of black squares?

A village is constructed in the form of a square, consisting of $9$ blocks , each of side length $\ell$, in a $3 \times 3$ formation . Each block is bounded by a bitumen road . If we commence at a corner of the village, what is the smallest distance we must travel along bitumen roads , if we are to pass along each section of bitumen road at least once and finish at the same corner?
