Day 1
In a triangle $ABC$ with circumcircle $\Gamma$, $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$ and point $D$ lies on segment $MC$. Point $G$ lies on ray $\overrightarrow{BC}$ past $C$ such that $\frac{BC}{DC} = \frac{BG}{GC}$, and let $N$ be the midpoint of $DG$. The points $P$, $S$, and $T$ are defined as follows: Line $CA$ meets the circumcircle $\Gamma_1$ of triangle $AGD$ again at point $P$. Line $PM$ meets $\Gamma_1$ again at $S$. Line $PN$ meets the line through $A$ that is parallel to $BC$ at $Q$. Line $CQ$ meets $\Gamma$ again at $T$. Prove that the points $P$, $S$, $T$, and $C$ are concyclic.
Let $a_1, a_2, a_3,\ldots$ be an infinite sequence of positive integers such that $a_2 \ne 2a_1$, and for all positive integers $m$ and $n$, the sum $m + n$ is a divisor of $a_m + a_n$. Prove that there exists an integer $M$ such that for all $n > M$, we have $a_n \ge n^3$.

Let $n$ and $\ell$ be integers such that $n \ge 3$ and $1 < \ell < n$. A country has $n$ cities. Between any two cities $A$ and $B$, either there is no flight from $A$ to $B$ and also none from $B$ to $A$, or there is a unique two-way trip between them. A two-way trip is a flight from $A$ to $B$ and a flight from $B$ to $A$. There exist two cities such that the least possible number of flights required to travel from one of them to the other is $\ell$. Find the maximum number of two-way trips among the $n$ cities.
Four positive integers $x,y,z$ and $t$ satisfy the relations \[ xy - zt = x + y = z + t. \]Is it possible that both $xy$ and $zt$ are perfect squares?
Determine all ordered triples $(a, b, c)$ of real numbers such that whenever a function $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfies $$|f(x) - f(y)| \le a(x - y)^2 + b(x - y) + c$$for all real numbers $x$ and $y$, then $f$ must be a constant function.
Day 2
Let $\mathbb{Q}_{>0}$ denote the set of all positive rational numbers. Determine all functions $f:\mathbb{Q}_{>0}\to \mathbb{Q}_{>0}$ satisfying $$f(x^2f(y)^2)=f(x)^2f(y)$$for all $x,y\in\mathbb{Q}_{>0}$
A circle $\omega$ with radius $1$ is given. A collection $T$ of triangles is called good, if the following conditions hold: each triangle from $T$ is inscribed in $\omega$; no two triangles from $T$ have a common interior point. Determine all positive real numbers $t$ such that, for each positive integer $n$, there exists a good collection of $n$ triangles, each of perimeter greater than $t$.
Let $k$ be a positive integer. The organising commitee of a tennis tournament is to schedule the matches for $2k$ players so that every two players play once, each day exactly one match is played, and each player arrives to the tournament site the day of his first match, and departs the day of his last match. For every day a player is present on the tournament, the committee has to pay $1$ coin to the hotel. The organisers want to design the schedule so as to minimise the total cost of all players' stays. Determine this minimum cost.

Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Sisyphus performs a sequence of turns on a board consisting of $n + 1$ squares in a row, numbered $0$ to $n$ from left to right. Initially, $n$ stones are put into square $0$, and the other squares are empty. At every turn, Sisyphus chooses any nonempty square, say with $k$ stones, takes one of these stones and moves it to the right by at most $k$ squares (the stone should say within the board). Sisyphus' aim is to move all $n$ stones to square $n$. Prove that Sisyphus cannot reach the aim in less than \[ \left \lceil \frac{n}{1} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{2} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{3} \right \rceil + \dots + \left \lceil \frac{n}{n} \right \rceil \]turns. (As usual, $\lceil x \rceil$ stands for the least integer not smaller than $x$. )
Find all functions $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that satisfy the equation $$f(x^{2019} + y^{2019}) = x(f(x))^{2018} + y(f(y))^{2018}$$for all real numbers $x$ and $y$.
Given $\triangle ABC$ with $AB < AC$, let $\omega$ be the circle centered at the midpoint $M$ of $BC$ with diameter $AC - AB$. The internal bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersects $\omega$ at distinct points $X$ and $Y$. Let $T$ be the point on the plane such that $TX$ and $TY$ are tangent to $\omega$. Prove that $AT$ is perpendicular to $BC$.

Let $n>1$ be a positive integer. Each cell of an $n\times n$ table contains an integer. Suppose that the following conditions are satisfied: Each number in the table is congruent to $1$ modulo $n$. The sum of numbers in any row, as well as the sum of numbers in any column, is congruent to $n$ modulo $n^2$. Let $R_i$ be the product of the numbers in the $i^{\text{th}}$ row, and $C_j$ be the product of the number in the $j^{\text{th}}$ column. Prove that the sums $R_1+\hdots R_n$ and $C_1+\hdots C_n$ are congruent modulo $n^4$.
Let $a$ and $b$ be distinct positive integers. The following infinite process takes place on an initially empty board. If there is at least a pair of equal numbers on the board, we choose such a pair and increase one of its components by $a$ and the other by $b$. If no such pair exists, we write two times the number $0$. Prove that, no matter how we make the choices in $(i)$, operation $(ii)$ will be performed only finitely many times. Proposed by Serbia.
