During a school year 44 competitions were held. Exactly 7 students won in each of the competition. For any two competitions, there exists exactly 1 student who won both competitions. Is it true that there exists a student who won all the competitions?
Let $\Gamma$ be a circle and $AB$ be a diameter. Let $l$ be a line outside the circle, and is perpendicular to $AB$. Let $X$, $Y$ be two points on $l$. If $X'$, $Y'$ are two points on $l$ such that $AX$, $BX'$ intersect on $\Gamma$ and such that $AY$, $BY'$ intersect on $\Gamma$. Prove that the circumcircles of triangles $AXY$ and $AX'Y'$ intersect at a point on $\Gamma$ other than $A$, or the three circles are tangent at $A$.
Let $a,b,c$ be positive real numbers satisfying $abc=1$. Determine the smallest possible value of $$\frac{a^3+8}{a^3(b+c)}+\frac{b^3+8}{b^3(a+c)}+\frac{c^3+8}{c^3(b+a)}$$
Mable and Nora play a game according to the following steps in order: 1. Mable writes down any 2015 distinct prime numbers in ascending order in a row. The product of these primes is Marble's score. 2. Nora writes down a positive integer 3. Mable draws a vertical line between two adjacent primes she has written in step 1, and compute the product of the prime(s) on the left of the vertical line 4. Nora must add the product obtained by Marble in step 3 to the number she has written in step 2, and the sum becomes Nora's score. If Marble and Nora's scores have a common factor greater than 1, Marble wins, otherwise Nora wins. Who has a winning strategy?
There are 2 more tests between test 2 and 3 that are accounted for in the IMO selection process, namely the CHKMO and the APMO. - Note

Find all prime numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $p^2|q^3+1$ and $q^2|p^6-1$
Suppose that $I$ is the incenter of triangle $ABC$. The perpendicular to line $AI$ from point $I$ intersects sides $AC$ and $AB$ at points $B'$ and $C'$ respectively. Points $B_1$ and $C_1$ are placed on half lines $BC$ and $CB$ respectively, in such a way that $AB=BB_1$ and $AC=CC_1$. If $T$ is the second intersection point of the circumcircles of triangles $AB_1C'$ and $AC_1B'$, prove that the circumcenter of triangle $ATI$ lies on the line $BC$
