Problem 1

Consider an acute triangle $\triangle ABC$ . Let $P$ be the foot of the altitude of triangle $\triangle ABC$ issuing from the vertex $A$ , and let $O$ be the circumcenter of triangle $\triangle ABC$ . Assume that $\angle C \geq \angle B+30^{\circ}$ . Prove that $\angle A+\angle COP < 90^{\circ}$ .

Problem 2

Let $a,b,c$ be positive real numbers. Prove that $\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^{2}+8bc}}+\frac{b}{\sqrt{b^{2}+8ca}}+\frac{c}{\sqrt{c^{2}+8ab}}\ge 1$ .

Problem 3

Twenty-one girls and twenty-one boys took part in a mathematical competition. It turned out that each contestant solved at most six problems, and for each pair of a girl and a boy, there was at least one problem that was solved by both the girl and the boy. Show that there is a problem that was solved by at least three girls and at least three boys.
