Problem 3

  • Paper

Triangle ABCA B C is such that AB<ACA B<A C. The perpendicular bisector of side BCB C intersects lines ABA B and ACA C at points PP and QQ, respectively. Let HH be the orthocentre of triangle ABCA B C, and let MM and NN be the midpoints of segments BCB C and PQP Q, respectively. Prove that lines HMH M and ANA N meet on the circumcircle of ABCA B C.

Problem 4

  • Paper
  • Answer

A 5×1005 \times 100 table is divided into 500 unit square cells, where nn of them are coloured black and the rest are coloured white. Two unit square cells are called adjacent if they share a common side. Each of the unit square cells has at most two adjacent black unit square cells. Find the largest possible value of nn.
