Question 1

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $AB\neq AC$. The circle with diameter $BC$ intersects the sides $AB$ and $AC$ at $M$ and $N$ respectively. Denote by $O$ the midpoint of the side $BC$. The bisectors of the angles $\angle BAC$ and $\angle MON$ intersect at $R$. Prove that the circumcircles of the triangles $BMR$ and $CNR$ have a common point lying on the side $BC$.

Question 2

Find all polynomials $P$ with real coefficients such that for all reals $a$, $b$, $c$ such that $ab+bc+ca = 0$, we have $$
P(a-b) + P(b-c) + P(c-a) = 2P(a+b+c).
$$

Question 3

Define a “hook” to be a figure made up of six unit squares as shown below in the picture, or any of the figures obtained by applying rotations and reflections to this figure.

Question illustration

Determine all $m\times n$ rectangles that can be covered by hooks without gaps or overlaps, such that no part of a hook covers area outside the rectangle.

Question 4

Let $n \ge 3$ be an integer and $t_1$, $t_2$, …, $t_n$ positive real numbers such that $$
n^2+1 \gt \left(t_1 + t_2 + \dots + t_n\right)
\left( \frac{1}{t_1} + \frac{1}{t_2} + \dots + \frac{1}{t_n} \right).
$$ Show that $t_i$, $t_j$, $t_k$ are the sides of a triangle for all $i$, $j$, $k$ with $1 \le i \lt j \lt k \le n$.

Question 5

In a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, the diagonal $BD$ bisects neither the angle $ABC$ nor the angle $CDA$. The point $P$ lies inside $ABCD$ and satisfies $$
\angle PBC=\angle DBA \quad\text{and}\quad \angle PDC=\angle BDA.
$$ Prove that $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral if and only if $AP=CP$.

Question 6

We call a positive integer *alternating* if every two consecutive digits in its decimal representation are of different parity. Find all positive integers $n$ which have an alternating multiple.
