Day 1
Let $M$ - be a midpoint of side $BC$ in triangle $ABC$. A cricumcircle of $ABM$ intersects segment $AC$ at points $A$ and $B_1$ ($B_1 \neq A$). A circumcircle of $AMC$ intersects segment $AB$ at points $A$ and $C_1$ ($C_1 \neq A$). Let $O$ be a circumcircle of $AC_1B_1$. Prove that $OB=OC$
Let $\overline{a_n...a_1a_0}$ be a decimal representation of a number $65^k$ for some $k \geq 2$. Prove that polynomial $a_nx^n+...+a_1x+a_0$ doesn't have rational roots
Boris and Eugene are playing the following game : they mark points on the circle in turn. Boris marks the first and paints his point with the white color and Eugene with the black color (no point can be marked twice). As soon as each of them has colored $n$ points any other point on the circle is automatically colored with the color of the nearest marked point (if it doesn't exist, the point remains uncolored). Then Boris and Eugene count the sum of arc length, colored with white and black color respectively. Boy with the greater sum wins. For all positive integers $n \geq 2$ determine is it possible for one boy to secure his victory. If it's so, then who?
Day 2
A cake has a shape of triangle with sides $19,20$ and $21$. It is allowed to cut it it with a line into two pieces and put them on a round plate such that pieces don't overlap each other and don't stick out of the plate. What is the minimal diameter of the plate?
Let $AA_1, BB_1, CC_1$ be altitudes of an acute-angeled triangle $ABC$ ($A_1 \in BC, B_1 \in AC, C_1 \in AB$). Let $J_a, J_b, J_c$ be centers of inscribed circles of $AC_1B_1$, $BA_1C_1$ and $CB_1A_1$ respectively. Prove that radius of circumecircle of triangle $J_aJ_bJ_c$ equals radius of inscribed circle of triangle $ABC$
Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$, satisfying the following equation $$f(x+f(xy))=xf(1+f(y))$$for all positive $x$ and $y$
In town $N$ the central square hase a shape of rectangle $n \times m$, composed of squares $1 \times 1$. In order, to illuminathe the square, lanterns are placed on the corners of the tiles (including the edge of rectangle), such that every lantern illuminates all tiles in corners of which it is placed. Find the minimal amount of lanterns which can be placed, such that every tile will be illuminated even if one of the lanterns burns out.
