Year 2019 Part A
Part B consists of 5 essay / proof problems, posted here
Time: 90 minutes Rules
Write only the answers to the questions given. Some questions can have more than one correct answer. You are asked to provide the most correct or exact answer to a question like this. Scores will only be given to the giver of the most correct or most exact answer. Each question is worth 1 (one) point. to be more exact: in years 2002-08 time was 90' for part A and 120' for part B since years 2009 time is 210' for part A and B totally each problem in part A is 1 point, in part B is 7 points

p15. Look at a chessboard measuring square units. Two plots are said to be neighbors if they both have one side in common. Initially, there are a total of coins on the chessboard where each coin is only loaded exactly on one square and each square can contain coins or blanks. At each turn. You must select exactly one plot that holds the minimum number of coins in the number of neighbors of the plot and then you must give exactly one coin to each neighbor of the selected plot. The game ends if you are no longer able to select squares with the intended conditions. The smallest number of so that the game never ends for any initial square selection is ....
A semicircle k with radius r is constructed over the line segment ST. Let D be a point on the line segment ST that is different from S and T. The two squares ABCD and DEF G lie in the half-plane of the semicircle such that points B and F lie on the semicircle k and points S, C, D, E, and T lie on a straight line in that order. (Points A and/or G can also lie outside the semicircle if necessary.)
Investigate whether the sum of the areas of the squares ABCD and DEFG depends on the position of point D on the line segment ST.

Show that for a fixed pair of distinct positive integers and , there cannot exist infinitely many such that
Let
Then, So:
Therefore,
Let Assume . Then we have: or it could also be that .
Without loss of generality, we take the first case:
Thus,
Since , we have:

Hi everyone,
As we know, the pqr/uvw method is a powerful and useful tool for proving inequalities. However, transforming an expression into or can sometimes be quite complex. That's why I’ve written a program to assist with this process.
I hope you’ll find it helpful!
IHC 10 Q25: Eight countries participated in a football tournament

Eight countries sent teams to participate in a football tournament, with the Argentine and Brazilian teams being the strongest, while the remaining six teams are similar strength. The probability of the Argentine and Brazilian teams winning against the other six teams is both . The tournament adopts an elimination system, and the winner advances to the next round. What is the probability that the Argentine team will meet the Brazilian team in the entire tournament?
I think the answer is 4sqrt2 but I think there's a flaw in my solution(please point it out if possible):
It's pretty obvious that CA is perpendicular to AB. Let CH be length y, AB=CD=x and the radius of the circle be r. Connect C with the tangent from H and let the point be P.
First note that CAB is a right triangle so r^2+x^2=2y^2 (1)(because BC = sqrt(2)*CH)
Then note that CPH is a right triangle so r^2+4^2=y^2 ===> r^2+16=y^2 (2)
Now let the point where the tangent from D to the circle be point Q. DCQ is a right triangle. The hypotenuse is x and one leg with side length r. So we need to find x^2-r^2. We can do this from out systems. Plug in our equation for y^2 into equation (1). r^2+x^2 = 2r^2+32 or x^2-r^2=32.
Therefore, the tangent has length sqrt(32) or 4sqrt2
