Let $ H$ be the orthocenter of an acute-angled triangle $ ABC$. The circle $ \Gamma_{A}$ centered at the midpoint of $ BC$ and passing through $ H$ intersects the sideline $ BC$ at points $ A_{1}$ and $ A_{2}$. Similarly, define the points $ B_{1}$, $ B_{2}$, $ C_{1}$ and $ C_{2}$. Prove that the six points $ A_{1}$, $ A_{2}$, $ B_{1}$, $ B_{2}$, $ C_{1}$ and $ C_{2}$ are concyclic.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. At the European Chess Cup every pair of players played a game in which somebody won (there were no draws). For any $k$ players there was a player against whom they all lost, and the number of players was the least possible for such $k$. Is it possible that at the Closing Ceremony all the participants were seated at the round table in such a way that every participant was seated next to both a person he won against and a person he lost against.

You are standing in an infinitely long hallway with sides given by the lines $x=0$ and $x=6$. You start at $(3,0)$ and want to get to $(3,6)$. Furthermore, at each instant you want your distance to $(3,6)$ to either decrease or stay the same. What is the area of the set of points that you could pass through on your journey from $(3,0)$ to $(3,6)$?

A $3\times 3\times 3$ cube is made of 27 unit cube pieces. Each piece contains a lamp, which can be on or off. Every time a piece is pressed (the center piece cannot be pressed), the state of that piece and the pieces that share a face with it changes. Initially all lamps are off. Determine which of the following states are achievable: (1) All lamps are on. (2) All lamps are on except the central one. (3) Only the central lamp is on.

Joseph chooses a permutation of the numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ uniformly at random. Then, he goes through his permutation, and deletes the numbers which are not the maximum among each of the preceding numbers. For example, if he chooses the permutation $3, 2, 4, 5, 1, 6,$ then he deletes $2$ and $1,$ leaving him with $3, 4, 5, 6.$ The expected number of numbers remaining can be expressed as $m/n$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n.$ Find $m + n.$
