A line in the plane is called $sunny$ if it is not parallel to any of the $x$axis, the $y$axis, or the line $x+y=0$.

Let $n\ge3$ be a given integer. Determine all nonnegative integers $k$ such that there exist $n$ distinct lines in the plane satisfying both of the following:
[list]
[*] for all positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $a+b\le n+1$, the point $(a,b)$ lies on at least one of the lines; and
[*] exactly $k$ of the $n$ lines are sunny.
[/list]

Let $\Omega$ and $\Gamma$ be circles with centres $M$ and $N$, respectively, such that the radius of $\Omega$ is less than the radius of $\Gamma$. Suppose $\Omega$ and $\Gamma$ intersect at two distinct points $A$ and $B$. Line $MN$ intersects $\Omega$ at $C$ and $\Gamma$ at $D$, so that $C, M, N, D$ lie on $MN$ in that order. Let $P$ be the circumcentre of triangle $ACD$. Line $AP$ meets $\Omega$ again at $E\neq A$ and meets $\Gamma$ again at $F\neq A$. Let $H$ be the orthocentre of triangle $PMN$.

Prove that the line through $H$ parallel to $AP$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $BEF$.

Let $a,\,b,\,c$ be non-negative real numbers such that $a+b+c>0.$ Prove that
\[\frac{10-\sqrt2}{294} \leqslant \frac{(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2)}{(a+2b+3c)^3} \leqslant 1.\]When does equality hold?

A circle is inscribed in triangle $ABC$, and tangents are drawn to this circle parallel to the sides of the triangle. In this way, three smaller triangles are cut off from triangle $ABC$, each with an incircle of radius $r_1,r_2,r_3$, respectively. If $r$ the radius of the incircle of triangle $ABC$, prove that $$r=r_1+r_2+r_3.$$

$$ \frac{(\sqrt2 cosx -1)^2}{cos2x+tan\frac{\pi}{8}}-\frac{(\sqrt2 sinx -1)^2}{cos2x-tan\frac{\pi}{8}} \geq \frac{1}{2}(\frac{tanx-1}{tanx+1})^2 $$

Find (with proof) the number of real solutions to the system $\begin{cases}3^x+5^y=52\\ \log_3x-\log_5y=1\end{cases}$.

Edit: what is my luck, and why is my post sandwiched between two posts on the newest IMO problems?

A standard six-sided die is rolled repeatedly until the 4 is rolled. What is the probability that before the 4 was rolled all the odd numbers were also rolled at least once each?
pls help

Consider the numbers 1,3,4,5. In this scenario, we want to roll the 4 after each of the 1,3,4,5. Each of the numbers are equally likely to happen, so each number is equally likely to be rolled last. Thus, the answer is $\boxed{ \frac{1}{4}}$
