Problem 1

Let P0=(a0,b0),P1=(a1,b1),P2=(a2,b2)P_0=(a_0,b_0),P_1=(a_1,b_1),P_2=(a_2,b_2) be points on the plane such that P0P1P2ΔP_0P_1P_2\Delta contains the origin OO . Show that the areas of triangles P0OP1,P0OP2,P1OP2P_0OP_1,P_0OP_2,P_1OP_2 form a geometric sequence in that order if and only if there exists a real number xx , such that a0x2+a1x+a2=b0x2+b1x+b2=0a_0x^2+a_1x+a_2=b_0x^2+b_1x+b_2=0

Problem 2

In neverland, there are nn cities and nn airlines. Each airline serves an odd number of cities in a circular way, that is, if it serves cities c1,c2,…,c2k+1c_1,c_2,\dots,c_{2k+1} , then they fly planes connecting c1c2,c2c3,…,c1c2k+1c_1c_2,c_2c_3,\dots,c_1c_{2k+1} . Show that we can select an odd number of cities d1,d2,…,d2m+1d_1,d_2,\dots,d_{2m+1} such that we can fly d1→d2→⋯→d2m+1→d1d_1\rightarrow d_2\rightarrow\dots\rightarrow d_{2m+1}\rightarrow d_1 while using each airline at most once.

Problem 3

Let A1B3A2B1A3B2A_1B_3A_2B_1A_3B_2 be a cyclic hexagon such that A1B1,A2B2,A3B3A_1B_1,A_2B_2,A_3B_3 intersect at one point. Let C1=A1B1∩A2A3,C2=A2B2∩A1A3,C3=A3B3∩A1A2C_1=A_1B_1\cap A_2A_3,C_2=A_2B_2\cap A_1A_3,C_3=A_3B_3\cap A_1A_2 . Let D1D_1 be the point on the circumcircle of the hexagon such that C1B1D1C_1B_1D_1 touches A2A3A_2A_3 . Define D2,D3D_2,D_3 analogously. Show that A1D1,A2D2,A3D3A_1D_1,A_2D_2,A_3D_3 meet at one point.
