The quadrilateral ABCDABCD is inscribed in a circle centered at OO, and {P}=ACBD,{Q}=ABCD\{P\} = AC \cap BD, \{Q\} = AB \cap CD. Let RR be the second intersection point of the circumcircles of the triangles ABPABP and CDPCDP. a) Prove that the points P,QP, Q, and RR are collinear. b) If UU and VV are the circumcenters of the triangles ABPABP, and CDPCDP, respectively, prove that the points U,R,O,VU, R, O, V are concyclic.

Consider the set A={1,2,3,...,2n1}A = \{1, 2, 3, ..., 2n - 1\}, where n2n \ge 2 is a positive integer. We remove from the set AA at least n1n - 1 elements such that: • if aAa \in A has been removed, and 2aA2a \in A, then 2a2a has also been removed, • if a,bA(ab)a, b \in A (a \ne b) have been removed and a+bAa + b \in A, then a+ba + b has also been removed. Which numbers have to be removed such that the sum of the remaining numbers is maximum?

A positive integer is called lonely if the sum of the inverses of its positive divisors (including 11 and itself) is not equal with the some of the inverses of the positive divisors of any other positive integer. a) Show that any prime number is lonely. b) Prove that there are infinitely many numbers that are not lonely
