Day 1

Problem 1

  • Day 1
  • Answer

The side BCB C of the triangle ABCA B C is extended beyond CC to DD so that CD=BCC D=B C. The side CAC A is extended beyond AA to EE so that AE=2CAA E=2 C A.

Prove that if AD=BEA D=B E, then the triangle ABCA B C is right-angled.

Problem 5

  • Day 2

Let Ω\Omega be the circumcircle of the triangle ABCA B C. The circle ω\omega is tangent to the sides ACA C and BCB C, and it is internally tangent to Ω\Omega at the point PP. A line parallel to ABA B and intersecting the interior of triangle ABCA B C is tangent to ω\omega at QQ.

Prove that ∠ACP=∠QCB\angle A C P=\angle Q C B.

Problem 6

  • Day 2

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves are living in their house in the forest. On each of 16 consecutive days, some of the dwarves worked in the diamond mine while the remaining dwarves collected berries in the forest. No dwarf performed both types of work on the same day. On any two different (not necessarily consecutive) days, at least three dwarves each performed both types of work. Further, on the first day, all seven dwarves worked in the diamond mine.

Prove that, on one of these 16 days, all seven dwarves were collecting berries.
