Let $k$ be a semicircle with diameter $AB$ and midpoint $M$. Let $P$ be a point on $k$ different from $A$ and $B$.

The circle $k_A$ touches $k$ in a point $C$, the segment $MA$ in a point $D$, and additionally the segment $MP$. The circle $k_B$ touches $k$ in a point $E$ and additionally the segments $MB$ and $MP$.

Show that the lines $AE$ and $CD$ are perpendicular.

A quadrilateral \( ABCD \) with no parallel sides is inscribed in a circle \( \Omega \). Circles \( \omega_a, \omega_b, \omega_c, \omega_d \) are inscribed in triangles \( DAB, ABC, BCD, CDA \), respectively. Common external tangents are drawn between \( \omega_a \) and \( \omega_b \), \( \omega_b \) and \( \omega_c \), \( \omega_c \) and \( \omega_d \), and \( \omega_d \) and \( \omega_a \), not containing any sides of quadrilateral \( ABCD \). A quadrilateral whose consecutive sides lie on these four lines is inscribed in a circle \( \Gamma \). Prove that the lines joining the centers of \( \omega_a \) and \( \omega_c \), \( \omega_b \) and \( \omega_d \), and the centers of \( \Omega \) and \( \Gamma \) all intersect at one point.

Suppose that $ a_1$, $ a_2$, $ \ldots$, $ a_n$ are integers such that $ n\mid a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_n$.
Prove that there exist two permutations $ \left(b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n\right)$ and $ \left(c_1,c_2,\ldots,c_n\right)$ of $ \left(1,2,\ldots,n\right)$ such that for each integer $ i$ with $ 1\leq i\leq n$, we have
\[ n\mid a_i - b_i - c_i
\]

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\Omega$. Let $S_b$ and $S_c$ respectively denote the midpoints of the arcs $AC$ and $AB$ that do not contain the third vertex. Let $N_a$ denote the midpoint of arc $BAC$ (the arc $BC$ including $A$). Let $I$ be the incenter of $ABC$. Let $\omega_b$ be the circle that is tangent to $AB$ and internally tangent to $\Omega$ at $S_b$, and let $\omega_c$ be the circle that is tangent to $AC$ and internally tangent to $\Omega$ at $S_c$. Show that the line $IN_a$, and the lines through the intersections of $\omega_b$ and $\omega_c$, meet on $\Omega$.

Apple sharing in Iran

Source: Iran 2025 second round p6
Ali is hosting a large party. Together with his $n-1$ friends, $n$ people are seated around a circular table in a fixed order. Ali places $n$ apples for serving directly in front of himself and wants to distribute them among everyone. Since Ali and his friends dislike eating alone and won't start unless everyone receives an apple at the same time, in each step, each person who has at least one apple passes one apple to the first person to their right who doesn't have an apple (in the clockwise direction).

Find all values of $n$ such that after some number of steps, the situation reaches a point where each person has exactly one apple.

Looking for the smallest ghost

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Let $S=a_1,a_2,\dots$ be the sequence defined as follows: $a_1=1,a_2=2,\dots,a_{p-1}=p-1$, and for $n\ge p$, $a_n$ is the smallest integer greater than $a_{n-1}$ such that in $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$ there are no arithmetic progressions of length $p$. We say that a positive integer is a ghost if it doesn’t appear in $S$.
What is the smallest ghost that is not a multiple of $p$?

Suppose that the straight lines $DA$ and $FB$ intersect at the point $G$, and the straight lines $DC$ and $EB$ intersect at the point $H$. Prove that the points $D,E,F,G,H$ lie on the same circle.
