Find all triples (a,b,c)(a, b, c) of real numbers such that the following system holds:

{a+b+c=1a+1b+1ca2+b2+c2=1a2+1b2+1c2\left\{\begin{array}{l} a+b+c=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c} \\ a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=\frac{1}{a^{2}}+\frac{1}{b^{2}}+\frac{1}{c^{2}} \end{array}\right.

Let △ABC\triangle A B C be a right-angled triangle with ∠BAC=90∘\angle B A C=90^{\circ} and let EE be the foot of the perpendicular from AA on BCB C. Let Z≠AZ \neq A be a point on the line ABA B with AB=BZA B=B Z. Let (c) be the circumcircle of the triangle △AEZ\triangle A E Z. Let DD be the second point of intersection of (c)(c) with ZCZ C and let FF be the antidiametric point of DD with respect to (c)(c). Let PP be the point of intersection of the lines FEF E and CZC Z. If the tangent to (c)(c) at ZZ meets PAP A at TT, prove that the points T,E,B,ZT, E, B, Z are concyclic.

Problem 3

  • Paper

Alice and Bob play the following game: Alice picks a set A={1,2,…,n}A=\{1,2, \ldots, n\} for some natural number n⩾2n \geqslant 2. Then starting with Bob, they alternatively choose one number from the set AA, according to the following conditions: initially Bob chooses any number he wants, afterwards the number chosen at each step should be distinct from all the already chosen numbers, and should differ by 1 from an already chosen number. The game ends when all numbers from the set AA are chosen. Alice wins if the sum of all of the numbers that she has chosen is composite. Otherwise Bob wins. Decide which player has a winning strategy.
