Consider $\triangle MAB$ with a right angle at $A$ and circumcircle $\omega$. Take any chord $CD$ perpendicular to $AB$ such that $A, C, B, D, M$ lie on $\omega$ in this order. Let $AC$ and $MD$ intersect at point $E$, and let $O$ be the circumcenter of $\triangle EMC$. Show that if $J$ is the intersection of $BC$ and $OM$, then $JB = JM$.

The sequence $1, 2, \dots, 2023, 2024$ is written on a whiteboard. Every second, Megavan chooses two integers $a$ and $b$, and four consecutive numbers on the whiteboard. Then counting from the left, he adds $a$ to the 1st and 3rd of those numbers, and adds $b$ to the 2nd and 4th of those numbers. Can he achieve the sequence $2024, 2023, \dots, 2, 1$ in a finite number of moves? (Proposed by Avan Lim Zenn Ee)

Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}^+\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^+$ such that for all $x, y\in\mathbb{R}^+$, \[ \frac{f(x)}{y^2} - \frac{f(y)}{x^2} \le \left(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}\right)^2\]($\mathbb{R}^+$ denotes the set of positive real numbers.) (Proposed by Ivan Chan Guan Yu)

4

Minivan chooses a prime number. Then every second, he adds either the digit $1$ or the digit $3$ to the right end of his number (after the unit digit), such that the new number is also a prime. Can he continue indefinitely? (Proposed by Wong Jer Ren)

Do there exist infinitely many triplets of positive integers $(a, b, c)$ such that the following two conditions hold: 1. $\gcd(a, b, c) = 1$; 2. $a+b+c, a^2+b^2+c^2$ and $abc$ are all perfect squares? (Proposed by Ivan Chan Guan Yu)
