Let ABCABC be an acute, non-isosceles triangle with the circumcircle (O)(O). Denote D,ED, E as the midpoints of AB,ACAB,AC respectively. Two circles (ABE)(ABE) and (ACD)(ACD) intersect at KK differs from AA. Suppose that the ray AKAK intersects (O)(O) at LL. The line LBLB meets (ABE)(ABE) at the second point MM and the line LCLC meets (ACD)(ACD) at the second point NN. a) Prove that M,K,NM, K, N collinear and MNMN perpendicular to OLOL. b) Prove that KK is the midpoint of MNMN

In a school there are totally n>2n > 2 classes and not all of them have the same numbers of students. It is given that each class has one head student. The students in each class wear hats of the same color and different classes have different hat colors. One day all the students of the school stand in a circle facing toward the center, in an arbitrary order, to play a game. Every minute, each student put his hat on the person standing next to him on the right. Show that at some moment, there are 22 head students wearing hats of the same color.

In a school, there are totally nn students, with n2n \ge 2. The students take part in mm clubs and in each club, there are at least 22 members (a student may take part in more than 11 club). Eventually, the Principal notices that: If 22 clubs share at least 22 common members then they have different numbers of members. Prove that m(n1)2m \le (n - 1)^2
