Two chess players play each other at chess using clocks (when a player makes a move , the player stops his clock and starts the clock of his opponent) . It is known that when both players have just completed their $40$th move , both of their clocks read exactly $2$ hr $30$ min . Prove that there was a moment in the game when the clock of one player registered $1$ min $51$ sec less than that of the other . Furthermore , can one assert that the difference between the
two clock readings was ever equal to $2$ minutes?

The NIMO problem writers have invented a new chess piece called the [i]Oriented Knight[/i]. This new chess piece has a limited number of moves: it can either move two squares to the right and one square upward or two squares upward and one square to the right. How many ways can the knight move from the bottom-left square to the top-right square of a $16\times 16$ chess board?

Four equal right-angled triangles are given. We are allowed to cut any triangle into two new ones along the altitude dropped on to the hypotenuse. This operation may be repeated with any of the triangles from the new set. Prove that after any number of such operations there will be congruent triangles among those obtained.

Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$. A line passing through point $B$ intersects $\omega_1$ for the second time at point $C$ and $\omega_2$ at point $D$. The line $AC$ intersects circle $\omega_2$ for the second time at point $F$, and the line $AD$ intersects the circle $\omega_1$ for the second time at point $E$ . Let point $O$ be the center of the circle circumscribed around $\vartriangle AEF$. Prove that $OB \perp CD$.
The circle $ \omega $ inscribed in triangle $ABC$ touches its sides $AB, BC, CA$ at points $K, L, M$ respectively. In the arc $KL$ of the circle $ \omega $ that does not contain the point $M$, we select point $S$. Denote by $P, Q, R, T$ the intersection points of straight $AS$ and $KM, ML$ and $SC, LP$ and $KQ, AQ$ and $PC$ respectively. It turned out that the points $R, S$ and $M$ are collinear. Prove that the point $T$ also lies on the line $SM$.
