Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram with $AC=BC.$ A point $P$ is chosen on the extension of ray $AB$ past $B.$ The circumcircle of $ACD$ meets the segment $PD$ again at $Q.$ The circumcircle of triangle $APQ$ meets the segment $PC$ at $R.$ Prove that lines $CD,AQ,BR$ are concurrent.

The $49$ numbers $2,3,4,...,49,50$ are written on the blackboard . An allowed operation consists of choosing two different numbers $a$ and $b$ of the blackboard such that $a$ is a multiple of $b$ and delete exactly one of the two. María performs a sequence of permitted operations until she observes that it is no longer possible to perform any more. Determine the minimum number of numbers that can remain on the board at that moment.

Three positive integers are written on the board. In every minute, instead of the numbers $a, b, c$, Elbek writes $a+\gcd(b,c), b+\gcd(a,c), c+\gcd(a,b)$ . Prove that there will be two numbers on the board after some minutes, such that one is divisible by the other.
Note. $\gcd(x,y)$ - Greatest common divisor of numbers $x$ and $y$

A Duality Operation on Decreasing Integer Sequences
Ritangshu   0
3 hours ago
Let \( S \) be the set of all sequences \( (a_1, a_2, \ldots) \) of non-negative integers such that
(i) \( a_1 \geq a_2 \geq \cdots \); and
(ii) there exists a positive integer \( N \) such that \( a_n = 0 \) for all \( n \geq N \).

Define the dual of the sequence \( (a_1, a_2, \ldots) \in S \) to be the sequence \( (b_1, b_2, \ldots) \), where, for \( m \geq 1 \),
\( b_m \) is the number of \( a_n \)'s which are greater than or equal to \( m \).

(i) Show that the dual of a sequence in \( S \) belongs to \( S \).

(ii) Show that the dual of the dual of a sequence in \( S \) is the original sequence itself.

(iii) Show that the duals of distinct sequences in \( S \) are distinct.

Let $S$ be a subset of $\{0,1,2,\dots ,9\}$. Suppose there is a positive integer $N$ such that for any integer $n>N$, one can find positive integers $a,b$ so that $n=a+b$ and all the digits in the decimal representations of $a,b$ (expressed without leading zeros) are in $S$. Find the smallest possible value of $|S|$.
