Is that true?
Let $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$ be real numbers such that $0 \leq a_i \leq 1$ for all $1 \leq i \leq n$.
Prove that: $\sum_{1 \leq i<j \leq n} (a_i-a_j)^2 \leq \frac{n}{2}$.

Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral with $AC = BD$. Diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ meet at $P$. Let $\omega_1$ and $O_1$ denote the circumcircle and the circumcenter of triangle $ABP$. Let $\omega_2$ and $O_2$ denote the circumcircle and circumcenter of triangle $CDP$. Segment $BC$ meets $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ again at $S$ and $T$ (other than $B$ and $C$), respectively. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of minor arcs $\widehat {SP}$ (not including $B$) and $\widehat {TP}$ (not including $C$). Prove that $MN \parallel O_1O_2$.

In a class, there are $n \geqslant 3$ students and a teacher with $M$ marbles. The teacher then play a Marble distribution according to the following rules. At the start, each student receives at least $1$ marbles from the teacher. Then, the teacher chooses a student , who has never been chosen before, such that the number of marbles that he owns in a multiple of $2(n-1)$. That chosen student then equally distribute half of his marbles to $n-1$ other students. The same goes on until the teacher is not able to choose anymore student.

Find all integer $M$, such that for some initial numbers of marbles that the students receive, the teacher can choose all the student(according to the rule above), so that each student receiving equal amount of marbles at the end.

Let $S$ be a nonempty set of positive integers such that:
$\bullet$ if $m,n\in S$ then $m+n\in S$.
$\bullet$ for any prime $p$, there exists $x\in S$ such that $p\nmid x$.
Prove that the set of all positive integers not in $S$ is finite.

Let $S^1 = \{ z \in \mathbb{C} \mid |z| =1 \}$ be the unit circle in the complex plane. Let $f \colon S^1 \longrightarrow S^2$ be the map given by $f(z) = z^2$. We define $f^{(1)} \colon = f$ and $f^{(k+1)} \colon = f \circ f^{(k)}$ for $k \geq 1$. The smallest positive integer $n$ such that $f^{(n)}(z) = z$ is called the period of $z$. Determine the total number of points in $S^1$ of period $2025$.
(Hint : $2025 = 3^4 \times 5^2$)

We choose random a unitary polynomial of degree $n$ and coefficients in the set $1,2,...,n!$. Prove that the probability for this polynomial to be special is between $0.71$ and $0.75$, where a polynomial $g$ is called special if for every $k>1$ in the sequence $f(1), f(2), f(3),...$ there are infinitely many numbers relatively prime with $k$.
