1979 IMO, 3

Two circles in a plane intersect. $A$ is one of the points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from $A$ two points move with constant speed, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to $A$ simultaneously after one revolution. Prove that there is a fixed point $P$ in the plane such that the two points are always equidistant from $P.$

Eight tiles are located on an $8\times 8$ board in such a way that no pair of them are in the same row or in the same column. Prove that, among the distances between each pair of tiles, we can find two of them that are equal (the distance between two tiles is the distance between the centers of the squares in which they are located).

10. Let $n \ge 5$ be an odd number and let $r$ be an integer such that $1\le r \le (n-1)/2$. IN a sports tournament, $n$ players take part in a series of contests. In each contest, $2r+1$ players participate, and the scores obtained by the players are the numbers $$-r, -(r-1),\cdots, -1, 0, 1 \cdots, r-1, r$$ in some order. Each possible subset of $2r+1$ players takes part together in exactly one contest. let the final score of player $i$ be $S_i$, for each $i=1, 2,\cdots,n$. Define $N$ to be the smallest difference between the final scores of two players, i.e., $$N = \min_{i<j}|S_i - S_j|.$$ Determine, with proof, the maximum possible value of $N$.

Let $N$ be a 3-digit number with three distinct non-zero digits. We say that $N$ is [i]mediocre[/i] if it has the property that when all six 3-digit permutations of $N$ are written down, the average is $N$. For example, $N = 481$ is mediocre, since it is the average of $\{418, 481, 148, 184, 814, 841\}$. Determine the largest mediocre number.

Given a set $S$, of integers, an [i]optimal partition[/i] of S into sets T, U is a partition which minimizes the value $|t - u|$, where $t$ and $u$ are the sum of the elements of $T$ and U respectively. Let $P$ be a set of distinct positive integers such that the sum of the elements of $P$ is $2k$ for a positive integer $k$, and no subset of $P$ sums to $k$. Either show that there exists such a $P$ with at least $2020$ different optimal partitions, or show that such a $P$ does not exist.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. A [i]Nordic[/i] square is an $n \times n$ board containing all the integers from $1$ to $n^2$ so that each cell contains exactly one number. Two different cells are considered adjacent if they share a common side. Every cell that is adjacent only to cells containing larger numbers is called a [i]valley[/i]. An [i]uphill path[/i] is a sequence of one or more cells such that: (i) the first cell in the sequence is a valley, (ii) each subsequent cell in the sequence is adjacent to the previous cell, and (iii) the numbers written in the cells in the sequence are in increasing order. Find, as a function of $n$, the smallest possible total number of uphill paths in a Nordic square. Author: Nikola Petrović

Alice, Bob, Charlie, Diana, Emma, and Fred sit in a circle, in that order, and each roll a six-sided die. Each person looks at his or her own roll, and also looks at the roll of either the person to the right or to the left, deciding at random. Then, at the same time, Alice, Bob, Charlie, Diana, Emma and Fred each state the expected sum of the dice rolls based on the information they have. All six people say different numbers; in particular, Alice, Bob, Charlie, and Diana say $19$, $22$, $21$, and $23$, respectively. Compute the product of the dice rolls.

Detemine all ways in which real numbers can be assigned to the $\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}$ vertices so that three such numbers sum to zero whenever the three vertices form a triangle with edges parallel to the sides of the big triangle.
