Let $n$ be an integer greater than $1$. For a positive integer $m$, let $S_{m}= \{ 1,2,\ldots, mn\}$. Suppose that there exists a $2n$-element set $T$ such that (a) each element of $T$ is an $m$-element subset of $S_{m}$; (b) each pair of elements of $T$ shares at most one common element; and (c) each element of $S_{m}$ is contained in exactly two elements of $T$. Determine the maximum possible value of $m$ in terms of $n$.

Let $A_{1}A_{2}A_{3}$ be an acute triangle, and let $O$ and $H$ be its circumcenter and orthocenter, respectively. For $1\leq i \leq 3$, points $P_{i}$ and $Q_{i}$ lie on lines $OA_{i}$ and $A_{i+1}A_{i+2}$ (where $A_{i+3}=A_{i}$), respectively, such that $OP_{i}HQ_{i}$ is a parallelogram. Prove that \[\frac{OQ_{1}}{OP_{1}}+\frac{OQ_{2}}{OP_{2}}+\frac{OQ_{3}}{OP_{3}}\geq 3.\]

We choose random a unitary polynomial of degree $n$ and coefficients in the set $1,2,...,n!$. Prove that the probability for this polynomial to be special is between $0.71$ and $0.75$, where a polynomial $g$ is called special if for every $k>1$ in the sequence $f(1), f(2), f(3),...$ there are infinitely many numbers relatively prime with $k$.

Consider the polynomials \[f(x) =\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{k}x^{k}\quad\text{and}\quad g(x) =\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{a_{k}}{2^{k}-1}x^{k},\]where $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{n}$ are real numbers and $n$ is a positive integer. Show that if 1 and $2^{n+1}$ are zeros of $g$ then $f$ has a positive zero less than $2^{n}$.

Find all finite sets $S$ of points in the plane with the following property: for any three distinct points $A,B,$ and $C$ in $S,$ there is a fourth point $D$ in $S$ such that $A,B,C,$ and $D$ are the vertices of a parallelogram (in some order).

Let $ABC$ be an acute scalene triangle with $O$ as its circumcenter. Point $P$ lies inside triangle $ABC$ with $\angle PAB = \angle PBC$ and $\angle PAC = \angle PCB$. Point $Q$ lies on line $BC$ with $QA = QP$. Prove that $\angle AQP = 2\angle OQB$.
