Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle inscribed in a circle, where the tangents to the circle at points $B$ and $C$ intersect at the point $P$. Let $M$ be a point on the arc $AC$ (not containing $B$) such that $M \neq A$ and $M \neq C$. Let the lines $BC$ and $AM$ intersect at point $K$. Let $P'$ be the reflection of $P$ with respect to the line $AM$. The lines $AP'$ and $PM$ intersect at point $Q$, and $PM$ intersects the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ again at point $N$.

Prove that the point $Q$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ANK$.

Let triangle $ABC$ be circumscribed about circle $(I)$, and let $H$ be the orthocenter of $\triangle ABC$. The circle $(I)$ touches line $BC$ at $D$. The tangent to the circle $(BHC)$ at $H$ meets $BC$ at $S$. Let $J$ be the midpoint of $HI$, and let the line $DJ$ meet $(I)$ again at $X$. The tangent to $(I)$ parallel to $BC$ meets the line $AX$ at $T$. Prove that $ST$ is tangent to $(I)$.

The cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$, inscribed in the circle $\Gamma$, satisfies $AB=BC$ and $CD=DA$, and $E$ is the intersection point of the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$. The circle with center $A$ and radius $AE$ intersects $\Gamma$ in two points $F$ and $G$. Prove that the line $FG$ is tangent to the circles with diameters $BE$ and $DE$.

For any positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the sum of squares of digits of $n$. Prove that the sequence $$f(n), f(f(n)), f(f(f(n))), \cdots$$is eventually periodic.

Set Combo <-> Grid Combo

Source: 2025 Nepal Mock TST Day 2 Problem 3
Consider an $n \times n$ grid, where $n$ is a composite integer.

The $n^2$ unit squares are divided up into $a$ disjoint sets of $b$ unit squares arbitrarily such that $ab = n^2$. Denote this family of sets as $S$.

The $n^2$ unit squares are again divided up into $c$ disjoint sets of $d$ unit squares arbitrarily such that $cd = n^2$. Denote this family of sets as $T$.

Is it necessarily possible to choose $\min(a,c)$ unit squares such that no two unit squares are in the same set of $S$ or the same set of $T$?

Let $\triangle{ABC}$ be a triangle, and let $P$ be an arbitrary point on line $AO$, where $O$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle{ABC}$. Define $H_1$ and $H_2$ as the orthocenters of triangles $\triangle{APB}$ and $\triangle{APC}$. Prove that $H_1H_2$ passes through a fixed point which is independent of the choice of $P$.

Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle ABC.$ Let $l$ be the line through $I$ and perpendicular to $AI.$ The perpendicular to $AB$ through $B$ and that to $AC$ through $C$ meet $l$ at $E$ and $F$ respectively. The feet of perpendiculars from $E$ and $F$ to $l$ onto $BC$ are $M$ and $N.$ Prove that $(AMN)$ and $(ABC)$ are tangent together.

Rename M, N as Ab, Ac. Then there are four more points Bc, Ba and Ca, Cb corresponding to two other sides. The six points lie on a conic.

Dear Mathlinkers,
1. Y, Z the second points of intersection of (ABC) wrt AM, AN.
2. YZ is parallel to BC (O and H are two isogonal point wrt ABC (O center of (ABC), H orthocenter of ABC)
3. By a converse of the Reim's theorem, we are done.

Sincerely
Jean-Louis
