Suppose and are the incenter and the -excenter of triangle , respectively.
Let be the midpoint of arc on the circumcircle, and be the foot of the
perpendicular from to . The line intersects the circumcircle again at . For
any point on the circumcircle of triangle , let intersect at . Prove
that are concyclic.
On squares, we cover the area with several S-Tetrominos (=Z-Tetrominos) along the square so that in every square, there are two or fewer tiles covering that (tiles can be overlap). Find the maximum possible number of squares covered by at least one tile.
Let be a function from the Euclidean plane to the real numbers such that for any acute triangle with circumcenter , centroid and orthocenter . Prove that is constant.

Alice and Bob are playing game on an grid. Alice goes first, and they take turns drawing a black point from the coordinate set There is a constraint that the distance between any two black points cannot be an integer. The player who cannot draw a black point loses. Find all integers such that Alice has a winning strategy.
A unit square is removed from the corner of an grid, where . Prove that the remainder can be covered by copies of the figures of or unit squares depicted in the drawing below.

Note: Every square must be covered once and figures must not go over the bounds of the grid.
