Let $ a,b,c\geq 0,(ab+c)(ac+b)\neq 0 $ and $ a+b+c=3 . $ Prove that
$$ \frac{1}{ab+kc}+\frac{1}{ac+kb} \geq\frac{4}{3k} $$Where $ k\geq 3. $
$$ \frac{1}{ab+2c}+\frac{1}{ac+2b} \geq\frac{16}{25} $$$$ \frac{1}{ab+3c}+\frac{1}{ac+3b} \geq\frac{4}{9} $$$$ \frac{1}{ab+4c}+\frac{1}{ac+4b} \geq\frac{1}{3} $$

1284. Proposed by Tran Quang Hung, High School for Gifted Students, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam. Let quadrilateral $ABCD$ not be a trapezoid such that there is a circle centered at $I$ that is tangent to the four sides $\overline{AB}$, $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{CD}$, and $\overline{DA}$. Let $X$, $Y$, $Z$, and $W$ be the circumcenters of the triangles $IAB$, $IBC$, $ICD$, and $IDA$, respectively. Prove that there is a circle containing the circumcenters of the triangles $XAB$, $YBC$, $ZCD$, and $WDA$.

edgar has three bank accounts, each with an integer amount of dollars in it. He is only allowed to transfer money from one account to another if, by doing so, the latter ends up with double the money it had previously. Prove that edgar can always transfer all of his money into two accounts. Will he always be able to transfer all of his money into a single account?
