Problem 2

  • Paper

Prove that for all non-negative real numbers x,y,zx, y, z, not all equal to 0 , the following inequality holds

2x2−x+y+zx+y2+z2+2y2+x−y+zx2+y+z2+2z2+x+y−zx2+y2+z⩾3\frac{2 x^{2}-x+y+z}{x+y^{2}+z^{2}}+\frac{2 y^{2}+x-y+z}{x^{2}+y+z^{2}}+\frac{2 z^{2}+x+y-z}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z} \geqslant 3

Determine all the triples (x,y,z)(x, y, z) for which the equality holds.

Problem 3

  • Paper

Alice and Bob play the following game on a 100×100100 \times 100 grid, taking turns, with Alice starting first. Initially the grid is empty. At their turn, they choose an integer from 1 to 1002100^{2} that is not written yet in any of the cells and choose an empty cell, and place it in the chosen cell. When there is no empty cell left, Alice computes the sum of the numbers in each row, and her score is the maximum of these 100 sums. Bob computes the sum of the numbers in each column, and his score is the maximum of these 100 sums. Alice wins if her score is greater than Bob's score, Bob wins if his score is greater than Alice's score, otherwise no one wins.

Find if one of the players has a winning strategy, and if so which player has a winning strategy.

Let ABCA B C be an acute triangle with circumcenter OO. Let DD be the foot of the altitude from AA to BCB C and let MM be the midpoint of ODO D. The points ObO_{b} and OcO_{c} are the circumcenters of triangles AOCA O C and AOBA O B, respectively. If AO=ADA O=A D, prove that the points A,Ob,MA, O_{b}, M and OcO_{c} are concyclic.
