===Problem 1===
 
In triangle <math>ABC</math>, points <math>P,Q,R</math> lie on sides <math>BC,CA,AB</math> respectively. Let <math>\omega_A</math>, <math>\omega_B</math>, <math>\omega_C</math> denote the circumcircles of triangles <math>AQR</math>, <math>BRP</math>, <math>CPQ</math>, respectively. Given the fact that segment <math>AP</math> intersects <math>\omega_A</math>, <math>\omega_B</math>, <math>\omega_C</math> again at <math>X,Y,Z</math> respectively, prove that <math>YX/XZ=BP/PC</math>.

For a positive integer <math>n\geq 3</math> plot <math>n</math> equally spaced points around a circle.  Label one of them <math>A</math>, and place a marker at <math>A</math>.  One may move the marker forward in a clockwise direction to either the next point or the point after that.  Hence there are a total of <math>2n</math> distinct moves available; two from each point.  Let <math>a_n</math> count the number of ways to advance around the circle exactly twice, beginning and ending at <math>A</math>, without repeating a move.  Prove that <math>a_{n-1}+a_n=2^n</math> for all <math>n\geq 4</math>.

===Problem 3===
 
Let be a positive integer. There are marks, each with a black side and a white side, arranged into an equilateral triangle, with the biggest row containing marks. Initially, each mark has the black side up. An operation is to choose a line parallel to the sides of the triangle, and flipping all the marks on that line. A configuration is called admissible if it can be obtained from the initial configuration by performing a finite number of operations. For each admissible configuration , let denote the smallest number of operations required to obtain from the initial configuration. Find the maximum value of , where varies over all admissible configurations.
