In triangle $ABC$, angle $A$ is twice as large as angle $B$. $AB = 3$ and $AC = 2$. Calculate $BC$.
Let $ABCD$ be a circumscribed quadrilateral and let $P$ be the orthogonal projection of its in center on $AC$.
Prove that $\angle {APB}=\angle {APD}$
In the triangle $ABC, O$ is the center of the circumscribed circle, $A ', B', C '$ are the symmetrics of $A, B, C$ with respect to opposite sides, $ A_1, B_1, C_1$ are the intersection points of the lines $OA'$ and $BC, OB'$ and $AC, OC'$ and $AB$. Prove that the lines $A A_1, BB_1, CC_1$ intersect at one point.
Let $a$ be real number. Evaluate $\int_a^{a+\pi} |x|\cos x\ dx.$
Jeff has planted $7$ radishes, labelled $R$, $A$, $D$, $I$, $S$, $H$, and $E$. Taiki then draws circles through $S,H,I,E,D$, then through $E,A,R,S$, and then through $H,A,R,D$, and notices that lines drawn through $SH$, $AR$, and $ED$ are parallel, with $SH = ED$. Additionally, $HER$ is equilateral, and $I$ is the midpoint of $AR$. Given that $HD = 2$, $HE$ can be written as $\frac{-\sqrt{a} + \sqrt{b} + \sqrt{1+\sqrt{c}}}{2}$, where $a,b,$ and $c$ are integers, find $a+b+c$.

A sequence of real numbers $ a_{0},\ a_{1},\ a_{2},\dots$ is defined by the formula
\[ a_{i \plus{} 1} \equal{} \left\lfloor a_{i}\right\rfloor\cdot \left\langle a_{i}\right\rangle\qquad\text{for}\quad i\geq 0;
\]here $a_0$ is an arbitrary real number, $\lfloor a_i\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer not exceeding $a_i$, and $\left\langle a_i\right\rangle=a_i-\lfloor a_i\rfloor$. Prove that $a_i=a_{i+2}$ for $i$ sufficiently large.

Fix $n$. Given $n$ points on Cartesian plane such that no pair of points forms a segment that is parallel to either axes, a pair of points is said to be good if their segment gradient is positive. For which $k$ can there exist a set of $n$ points with exactly $k$ good pairs?

Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Find the solution set of the equation $\sum_{k=1}^{2n} \sqrt{x^2 -2kx + k^2} =|2nx - n - 2n^2|$
Ana and Celia sell various objects and obtain for each object as many euros as objects they sold. The money obtained is made up of some $10$ euro bills and less than $10$ coins of $1$ euro . They decide to distribute the money as follows: Ana takes a $10$ euro bill and then Celia, and so on successively until Ana takes the last $10$ euro note, and Celia takes all the $1$ euro coins . How many euros more than Celia did Ana take? Give all the possibilities.
[hide=original wording]Ana y Celia venden varios objetos y obtienen por cada objeto tantos euros como objetos vendieron. El dinero obtenido está constituido por algunos billetes de 10 euros y menos de 10 monedas de 1 euro.
Deciden repartir el dinero del siguiente modo: Ana toma un billete de 10 euros y después Celia, y así sucesivamente hasta que Ana toma el último billete de 10 euros, y Celia se lleva todas las monedas de 1 euro. ¿Cuántos euros más que Celia se llevó Ana? Dar todas las posibilidades.[/hide]
The quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in the circle ω. The diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at the point $O$. On the segments $AO$ and $DO$, the points $E$ and $F$ are chosen, respectively. The straight line $EF$ intersects ω at the points $E_1$ and $F_1$. The circumscribed circles of the triangles $ADE$ and $BCF$ intersect the segment $EF$ at the points $E_2$ and $F_2$ respectively (assume that all the points $E, F, E_1, F_1, E_2$ and $F_2$ are different). Prove that $E_1E_2 = F_1F_2$.

Suppose that $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$ are integers such that $a_1 +2^ia_2 +3^ia_3 +...+n^ia_n = 0$ for $i = 1,2,...,k -1$, where $k \ge 2$ is a given integer. Prove that $a_1+2^ka_2+3^ka_3+...+n^ka_n$ is divisible by $k!$.
Show that there are infinitely many positive odd integers $n$ such that $n^5+2n+1$ is expressible as a sum of squares of two coprime integers.
[b]Randy:[/b] "Hi Rachel, that's an interesting quadratic equation you have written down. What are its roots?''
[b]Rachel:[/b] "The roots are two positive integers. One of the roots is my age, and the other root is the age of my younger brother, Jimmy.''
[b]Randy:[/b] "That is very neat! Let me see if I can figure out how old you and Jimmy are. That shouldn't be too difficult since all of your coefficients are integers. By the way, I notice that the sum of the three coefficients is a prime number.''
[b]Rachel:[/b] "Interesting. Now figure out how old I am.''
[b]Randy:[/b] "Instead, I will guess your age and substitute it for $x$ in your quadratic equation $\dots$ darn, that gives me $-55$, and not $0$.''
[b]Rachel:[/b] "Oh, leave me alone!''
(1) Prove that Jimmy is two years old.
(2) Determine Rachel's age.

Let ${\mathcal A}$ be a ${C^{\ast}}$ algebra with a unit element and let ${\mathcal A_+}$ be the cone of the positive elements of ${\mathcal A}$ (this is the set of such self adjoint elements in ${\mathcal A}$ whose spectrum is in ${[0,\infty)}$. Consider the operation
\[ \displaystyle x \circ y =\sqrt{x}y\sqrt{x},\ x,y \in \mathcal A_+\]
Prove that if for all ${x,y \in \mathcal A_+}$ we have
\[ \displaystyle (x\circ y)\circ y = x \circ (y \circ y), \]
then ${\mathcal A}$ is commutative.

If $a_1$ is a positive integer, form the sequence $a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots$ by letting $a_2$ be the product of the digits of $a_1$, etc.. If $a_k$ consists of a single digit, for some $k\ge 1$, $a_k$ is called a [i]digital root[/i] of $a_1$. It is easy to check that every positive integer has a unique root. $($For example, if $a_1=24378$, then $a_2=1344$, $a_3=48$, $a_4=32$, $a_5=6$, and thus $6$ is the digital root of $24378.)$ Prove that the digital root of a positive integer $n$ equals $1$ if, and only if, all the digits of $n$ equal $1$.

Let $A_1, B_1, C_1$, be the feet of the altitudes of $\vartriangle ABC$ drawn from the vertices $A, B, C $ respectively, and let $M$ be the orthocenter (point of intersection of altitudes) of $\vartriangle ABC$. Assume that the orthic triangle (i.e. the triangle whose vertices are the feet of the altitudes of the original triangle) $A_1$,$B_1$,$C_1$ exists. Prove that each of the points $M$, $A$, $B$, and $C$ is the center of a circle tangent to all three sides (extended if necessary) of $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$. What is the difference in the behavior of acute and obtuse triangles $ABC$?
