In a basketball competition, $n$ teams took part. Each pair of teams played exactly one match, and there were no draws. At the end of the competition the $i$-th team had $x_i$ wins and $y_i$ defeats $(i=1,\ldots,n)$. Prove that $x_1^2+x_2^2+\ldots+x_n^2=y_1^2+y_2^2+\ldots+y_n^2$.

A triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a rectangle $APQR$ so that points $B$ and $C$ lie on segments $PQ$ and $QR$, respectively. If $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are the angles of the triangle, prove that $$\cot\alpha\cdot S_{BCQ}=\cot\beta\cdot S_{ACR}+\cot\gamma\cdot S_{ABP}.$$

The base of a pyramid $ABCDV$ is a rectangle $ABCD$ with the sides $AB=a$ and $BC=b$, and all lateral edges of the pyramid have length $c$. Find the area of the intersection of the pyramid with a plane that contains the diagonal $BD$ and is parallel to $VA$.

The vertices of a triangle with sides $a\ge b\ge c$ are centers of three circles, such that no two of the circles have common interior points and none contains any other vertex of the triangle. Determine the maximum possible total area of these three circles.

Given nine positive integers, is it always possible to choose four different numbers $a,b,c,d$ such that $a+b$ and $c+d$ are congruent modulo $20$?
