Let $O,H,T$ be circumcenter, orthocenter and A-HM point of triangle $ABC$. Let $AH,AT$ intersect $(O)$ at $K,N$, respectively. Let $XYZ$ be the triangle formed by $TH,BC,KN$. Prove that $(XYZ)$ is tangent to $(O).$

On a big plane, two points with length $1$ are given. Prove that one can only use straightedge (which draws a straight line passing two drawn points) and compass (which draws a circle with a chosen radius equal to the distance of two drawn points and centered at a drawn points) to construct a line and two points on it with length $\sqrt{2024}$ in only $10$ steps (Namely, the total number of circles and straight lines drawn is at most $10$.)

Let \(ABC\) be an acute triangle, and let its circumcircle be \(\Gamma\). On side \(BC\), pick a point \(D\) (distinct from \(B\) and \(C\)). The lines through \(D\) tangent to \(\Gamma\) (other than \(DA\), if \(A\) lies inside the angle at \(D\)) touch \(\Gamma\) again at points \(E\) and \(F\). Let \(BE\) meet \(AC\) at \(P\), and let \(CF\) meet \(AB\) at \(Q\). Prove that the three lines \(AP\), \(AQ\), and \(EF\) are concurrent.

Oscar bought a set of blank playing cards. He puts stamps on each card such that
1. Each card has $k\geq 4$ different stamps each.
2. Every two cards have exactly one stamp in common.
3. Every stamp is used at least twice.

Show that the maximum number of different stamps $v$ he can use is in the range $$k^2-2k+5 \leq v \leq k^2-k+1$$

Let \(m\) be a positive integer, such that \(m\) fulfills
\[
\frac{1}{m^2+3m+2}+\frac{1}{m^2+5m+6}+\frac{1}{m^2+7m+12}+\dots +\frac{1}{m^2+15m+56}+\frac{1}{m^2+17m+72} = \frac{8}{33}
\]Hence find the value of \(m\).

P1. Find $p(0) + p(5)$ where $p$ is a monic polynomial of degree $4$ satisfying $p(r) = 2^r ; r = 1,2,3,4.$

P2. Find $p(1), p(-1)$ where $p$ is a polynomial of smallest degree possible satisfying $p(r) = \frac{1}{r^2 - 1}; r = 2,3,4,\cdots, 10.$

P3. Find $k$ and $p(0)$, if polynomial $p$ satisfies $x.p(x) + 1 = k\left(\prod_{i = 1}^{5} (x - i)\right).$

P4. Find $p(0)$ where $p$ is a polynomial of smallest degree satisfying $p(r) = \frac{1}{r}; r = 1,2,3,\cdots,10.$

P5. Find $p(0),p(6),k$ and $\alpha$ if polynomial $p$ satisfies $(x^2 - 6x).p(x) + 1 = k\left(\prod_{i=1}^{5} (x - i)\right)(x - \alpha).$

P6. If $f(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $50$ such that $f(x) = \frac{x}{x + 1}; x = 0,1,2,\cdots,50.$ Evaluate $f(-1).$

Inequality with n-gon sides

If $a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_n~(n\geq3)$ are are the lengths of the sides of a $n-$gon such that
$$\sum_{i=1}^{n}{a_i}=1,$$then
$$(n-2)\left[\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{a_i^2}{(1-a_i)^2}}-\frac n{(n-1)^2}\right]\geq(2n-1)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{a_i}{1-a_i}}-\frac n{n-1}\right)^2.$$
When do we have equality?
