A sequence of polynomials $P_m(x, y, z), m = 0, 1, 2, \cdots$, in $x, y$, and $z$ is defined by $P_0(x, y, z) = 1$ and by
\[P_m(x, y, z) = (x + z)(y + z)P_{m-1}(x, y, z + 1) - z^2P_{m-1}(x, y, z)\]

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Alice writes $n$ real numbers $a_1, a_2,\dots, a_n$ in a line (in that order). Every move, she picks one number and replaces it with the average of itself and its neighbors ($a_n$ is not a neighbor of $a_1$, nor vice versa). A number [i]changes sign[/i] if it changes from being nonnegative to negative or vice versa. In terms of $n$, determine the maximum number of times that $a_1$ can change sign, across all possible values of $a_1,a_2,\dots, a_n$ and all possible sequences of moves Alice may make.
Let $AA _1$ and $BB_1$ be the altitudes of an isosceles acute-angled triangle $ABC, M$ the midpoint of $AB$. The circles circumscribed around the triangles $AMA_1$ and $BMB_1$ intersect the lines $AC$ and $BC$ at points $K$ and $L$, respectively. Prove that $K, M$, and $L$ lie on the same line.

Let $a$ and $b$ real numbers. Let $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function. We say that f is "smp" if $[a,b]=[c_0,c_1]\cup[c_1,c_2]...\cup[c_{n-1},c_n]$ satisfying $c_0<c_1...<c_n$ and for each $i\in\{0,1,2...n-1\}$:
$c_i<x<c_{i+1} \Rightarrow f(c_i)<f(x)<f(c_{i+1})$
or
$c_i>x>c_{i+1} \Rightarrow f(c_i)>f(x)>f(c_{i+1})$
Prove that if $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous such that for each $v\in\mathbb{R}$ there are only finitely many $x$ satisfying $f(x)=v$, then $f$ is "smp".
