Source: Own
Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $AD, BE, CF$ be its altitudes. Let $H$ be its orthocenter, and let $O_B$ and $O_C$ be the circumcenters of triangles $AHC$ and $AHB$. Let $G$ be the second intersection of the circumcircles of triangles $FDO_B$ and $EDO_C$. Prove that the lines $DG$, $EF$, and $A$-median of $\triangle ABC$ are concurrent.

The teacher calculates and writes on the board all the numbers $a^b$ that satisfy the condition $n = a\times b$ for the natural number $n.$ Here $a$ and $b$ are natural numbers. Is there a natural number $n$ such that each of the numbers $0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9$ is the last digit of one of the numbers written by the teacher on the board? Justify your opinion.

Determine the equality case.

A few days ago I came across. this interesting result is someone interested in proving this.

$\boxed{\sum_{k=1}^{p-1} \frac{1}{k} \equiv \sum_{k=p+1}^{2p-1} \frac{1}{k} \equiv \sum_{k=2p+1}^{3p-1}\frac{1}{k} \equiv.....\sum_{k=p(p-1)+1}^{p^2-1}\frac{1}{k} \equiv 0(mod p^2)}$

Bruno and Brutus are running on a circular track with a $20$ foot radius. Bruno completes $5$ laps every hour, while Brutus completes $7$ laps every hour. If they start at the same point but run in opposite directions, how far along the track’s circumference (in feet) from the starting point are they when they meet for the sixth time? Note: Do not count the moment they start running as a meeting point.
