Let $n\ge 3$ be an integer, and let $a_2,a_3,\ldots ,a_n$ be positive real numbers such that $a_{2}a_{3}\cdots a_{n}=1$ . Prove that
$(1 + a_2)^2 (1 + a_3)^3 \dotsm (1 + a_n)^n > n^n.$

Prove that from an $n\times n$ grid, one can find $\Omega (n^{\frac{5}{3}})$ points such that no four of them are vertices of a square with sides parallel to lines of the grid. Imagine yourself as Erdos (!) and guess what is the best exponent instead of $\frac{5}{3}$ !

Let $\triangle{ABC}$ be a scalene triangle, $\triangle{M_AM_BM_C}$ its medial triangle, and $P$ a point on the Thomson cubic (= $\text{K002}$ ) of $\triangle{ABC}$ . (Suppose that $P \notin \odot(ABC)$ ).
Let $\triangle{A'B'C'}$ be the circumcevian triangle of $P$ wrt $\triangle{ABC}$ .
Let $\triangle{P_AP_BP_C}$ be the pedal triangle of $P$ wrt $\triangle{ABC}$ .
Let $A_1$ be the reflection in $BC$ of $A'$ . Define $B_1$ , $C_1$ cyclically.
Let $A_2$ be the reflection in $M_A$ of $A'$ . Define $B_2$ , $C_2$ cyclically.
Let $A_3$ be the reflection in $P_A$ of $A'$ . Define $B_3$ , $C_3$ cyclically.

Prove that $\odot(A_1B_1C_1)$ , $\odot(A_2B_2C_2)$ , $\odot(A_3B_3C_3)$ and the orthocentroidal circle of $\triangle{ABC}$ are coaxal.
