A sphere is inscribed in a tetrahedron and each point of contact of the sphere with the four faces is joined to the vertices of the face containing the point. Show that the four sets of three angles so formed are identical.
Stacy has $d$ dollars. She enters a mall with $10$ shops and a lottery stall. First she goes to the lottery and her money is doubled, then she goes into the first shop and spends $1024$ dollars. After that she alternates playing the lottery and getting her money doubled (Stacy always wins) then going into a new shop and spending $\$1024$. When she comes out of the last shop she has no money left. What is the minimum possible value of $d$?
Let $M$ be a point on the arc $AB$ of the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$ which does not contain $C$.

In a triangle $ABC$ two points, $C_1$ and $A_1$ are marked on the sides $AB$ and $BC$ respectively (the points do not coincide with the vertices). Let $K$ be the midpoint of $A_1C_1$ and $I$ be the incentre of the triangle $ABC$. Given that the quadrilateral $A_1BC_1I$ is cyclic, prove that the angle $AKC$ is obtuse.

Let $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of positive integers for which

A chessboard $1000 \times 1000$ is covered by dominoes $1 \times 10$ that can be rotated. We don't know which is the cover, but we are looking for it. For this reason, we choose a few $N$ cells of the chessboard, for which we know the position of the dominoes that cover them.
Which is the minimum $N$ such that after the choice of $N$ and knowing the dominoed that cover them, we can be sure and for the rest of the cover?

A team of four students goes to LMT, and each student brings a lunch. However, on the bus, the students’ lunches get mixed up, and during lunch time, each student chooses a random lunch to eat (no two students may eat the same lunch). What is the probability that each student chooses his or her own lunch correctly?

A bag contains $12$ marbles: $3$ red, $4$ green, and $5$ blue. Repeatedly draw marbles with replacement until you draw two marbles of the same color in a row. What is the expected number of times that you will draw a marble?
The sequence $a_1,a_2,\dots$ of positive integers obeys the following two conditions:
[list]
[*] For all positive integers $m,n$, it happens that $a_m\cdot a_n=a_{mn}$
[*] There exist infinite positive integers $n$ such that $(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n)$ is a permutation of $(1,2,\dots,n)$
[/list]
Prove that $a_n=n$ for all positive integers $n$.

Given $ n \geq 3$, $ n$ is a integer. Prove that:
\[ (2^n \minus{} 2) \cdot \sqrt{2i\minus{}1} \geq \left( \sum_{j\equal{}0}^{i\minus{}1}C_n^j \plus{} C_{n\minus{}1}^{i\minus{}1} \right) \cdot \sqrt{n}\]
where if $ n$ is even, then $ \displaystyle 1 \leq i \leq \frac{n}{2}$; if $ n$ is odd, then $ \displaystyle 1 \leq i \leq \frac{n\minus{}1}{2}$.
