Let $\gamma$ and $I$ be the incircle and incenter of triangle $ABC$. Let $D$, $E$, $F$ be the tangency points of $\gamma$ to $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{CA}$, $\overline{AB}$ and let $D'$ be the reflection of $D$ about $I$. Assume $EF$ intersects the tangents to $\gamma$ at $D$ and $D'$ at points $P$ and $Q$. Show that $\angle DAD' + \angle PIQ = 180^\circ$.

Let \( n \) be a natural number. The numbers \( 1, 2, \ldots, n \) are written in a row in some order. For each pair of adjacent numbers, their greatest common divisor (GCD) is calculated and written on a sheet. What is the maximum possible number of distinct values among the \( n - 1 \) GCDs obtained?

Grasshoppers facing in four directions

Source: Spain MO 2025 P5
Let $S$ be a finite set of cells in a square grid. On each cell of $S$ we place a grasshopper. Each grasshopper can face up, down, left or right. A grasshopper arrangement is Asturian if, when each grasshopper moves one cell forward in the direction in which it faces, each cell of $S$ still contains one grasshopper.
[list]
[*] Prove that, for every set $S$, the number of Asturian arrangements is a perfect square.
[*] Compute the number of Asturian arrangements if $S$ is the following set:

Bijection on the set of integers

Source: InfinityDots MO 2 Problem 2
Determine all bijections $f:\mathbb Z\to\mathbb Z$ satisfying
$$f^{f(m+n)}(mn) = f(m)f(n)$$for all integers $m,n$.

Note: $f^0(n)=n$, and for any positive integer $k$, $f^k(n)$ means $f$ applied $k$ times to $n$, and $f^{-k}(n)$ means $f^{-1}$ applied $k$ times to $n$.
